  • Jew Taboo: Jewish Difference and the Affirmative Action Debate
    The Jew Taboo: Jewish Difference and the Affirmative Action Debate DEBORAH C. MALAMUD* One of the most important questions for a serious debate on affirmative action is why certain minority groups need affirmative action while others have succeeded without it. The question is rarely asked, however, because the comparisonthat most frequently comes to mind-i.e., blacks and Jews-is seen by many as taboo. Daniel A. Farberand Suzanna Sherry have breached that taboo in recent writings. ProfessorMalamud's Article draws on work in the Jewish Studies field to respond to Farberand Sherry. It begins by critiquing their claim that Jewish values account for Jewish success. It then explores and embraces alternative explanations-some of which Farberand Sheny reject as anti-Semitic-as essentialparts of the story ofJewish success in America. 1 Jews arepeople who are not what anti-Semitessay they are. Jean-Paul Sartre ha[s] written that for Jews authenticity means not to deny what in fact they are. Yes, but it also means not to claim more than one has a right to.2 Defenders of affirmative action today are publicly faced with questions once thought improper in polite company. For Jewish liberals, the most disturbing question on the list is that posed by the comparison between the twentieth-century Jewish and African-American experiences in the United States. It goes something like this: The Jews succeeded in America without affirmative action. In fact, the Jews have done better on any reasonable measure of economic and educational achievement than members of the dominant majority, and began to succeed even while they were still being discriminated against by this country's elite institutions.

  • 1.20: Mandatory Minimums Guests: Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson and Kathleen “Bird” York
    The West Wing Weekly 1.20: Mandatory Minimums Guests: Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson and Kathleen “Bird” York [Intro Music] JOSH: You're listening to “The West Wing Weekly.” I'm Joshua Malina. HRISHI: And I'm Hrishikesh Hirway. Today we're talking about Episode 20 from Season 1. It's called "Mandatory Minimums." JOSH: It was written by fan favorite Aaron Sorkin, and it was directed by Bob Berlinger - incredibly nice, funny, great guy and an excellent director. I worked with him on, I think, something like twelve episodes of Sports Night . He directed me in my brief appearance in a TV movie starring Charisma Carpenter called See Jane Date , and - he's great. HRISHI: And now he's directing See Jane Cregg . JOSH: Ah. There you go! HRISHI: Coming up later in the episode, we're going to be joined by Mayor Karen Freeman- Wilson of Gary, Indiana to talk to us about the issue of mandatory minimums, and we're going to be joined by Kathleen York, who makes her first appearance in the series guest-starring as Andrea Wyatt. JOSH: Ok, music guy: Gary, Indiana. Made famous in what musical? HRISHI: Our Town ? JOSH: Good guess, but it's not a musical. HRISHI: [laughs] Our Town isn't a musical? JOSH: So, I guess that would be among the worst possible guesses. HRISHI: [laughs] It's on a stage! JOSH: There's a song in The Music Man - oh, now I've given it away - The Music Man . HRISHI: Is it The Music Man ? JOSH: Since your original guess was a straight play, I figured I'd just zoom right ahead to the correct answer: The Music Man.
