The interview, coming at a time when public criticism of Jewish influence still was mercifully rare, caused shock and outrage. Community leaders charged that in saying &#8220;the Jews&#8221; ran Hollywood, Brando was resurrecting a dangerous canard. Mortified, Brando offered a tearful public apology the next day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This editorial reminds me of my review of Whiteness of a Different Color: European Immigrants and the Alchemy of Race by Matthew Frye Jacobson.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.interracialvoice.com\/powell11.html\">http:\/\/www.interracialvoice.com\/powell11.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The multiracial white is condemned by Hollywood (&#8220;Imitation of Life,&#8221; &#8220;Pinky&#8221; and numerous television episodes) for not immediately identifying himself with a false racial identification (&#8220;Black&#8221;).
