The fact that there are so many Jewish roles goes against the idea that anti-Semitism is somehow affecting theatre and TV.

The big fear I have in demanding that only Jews play Jews (or gays play gays) is that most roles are not Jews or gays. Does that mean only Wasps must play Wasps? That would cuts Jews and Gays (and others) from most roles.

Not sure I agree with that, especially if making them less obviously "Jewy" is part of the equation.

And no one has actually suggested that "X can only play X." But the absence of Jews playing Jews is not passing unnoticed. Nor should it.
