"#Drescher defended herself vigorously after a complaint from a viewer in a letter to the #LATimes, arguing along similar lines that her character “displays such a great capacity for love and wisdom, and has such wholesome values and good instincts as a #Jew, a #woman, and above all, a human being” that she found it “infuriating” to regard “with negativity” a character “who is clearly carving inroads for other #Jews.” In Drescher’s view, her character upset the “the fearful post-World War II mentality that a #goodJew is an #assimilated one.” “My character does not try to assimilate late to a #WASP #ethnic in appearance or speech,” she insists. “I speak #Yiddish and celebrate the #Jewish holidays” on the #show."
