Comment on Bradley Cooper in ‘Jewface’ storm after Leonard Bernstein trailer reveals prosthetic nose

In a statement posted on social media, Bernstein’s children Jamie, Alexander, and Nina defended Cooper, saying: “It breaks our hearts to see any misrepresentations or misunderstandings of [Cooper’s] efforts … Bradley chose to use makeup to amplify his resemblance, and we’re perfectly fine with that. We’re also certain that our dad would have been fine with it as well.”

There's plenty of anti-Semitism out there to feel outraged about. I see how it's more fun to get upset about stupid inconsequential shit, but let's not kid ourselves into believing that an actor wearing prosthetics to closer resemble the person he's portraying is even making it to the list of concerns facing Jewish communities.

In other news, that actor seems to have a very tiny nose.
