Why not an Italian or Greek nose? Hmmm, there was this cabaret in Berlin which seemed like a gay old place until the MC started to make fun of some his fellow countrymen...

That how some of this shit starts, very small, and it must be called out.

Definitely, either could also read as ethnic and urban. The point is that the musical has some very anti-urban, anti-melting pot drives to it... meant for the tired businessmen of the urban melting pot.

I don't think anti-Semitism starts with someone on ATC pointing out what seems to them like a very soft anti-Semitic trope in a movie from 1953.
