Actually most people love Adam Sandler. It's mostly the younger generation that doesn't for some reason, and they create most of the media.

I love several of his movies, I just don't think he's good enough to have gotten a break on his own. It's hard for everyone, some guys have an advantage.

I think you're missing the point. People don't like him because they think he's a good actor, they like him because he's goofy and makes them laugh. This is something movie critics will never understand, that's why they always rate comedies so low no matter how good they are.

He's a one trick pony whose only successful roles are built around that goofy untalented schmuck persona. There's lots of talented people out there. Only a few ever make it. So why him, that's the question, and I think the answer is because he's Jewish.

I'm not trying to knock Sandler specifically. Happy Gilmore is an awesome movie. I just think he's a pretty good example of somebody who would be a nobody if he wasn't Jewish. And that tribal nepotism is what gets Jews a lot of hate.

Adam Sandler starred in hit movies, and that's how any actor makes it. Do you think there's no other Jewish actors out there? Chris Farley was the same way, and he's Irish.

Some families may have leftover benefits from the mafia, and some Jews were in that business. Also Jews have historically been less restricted than Christians when it comes to business, so in the old days they could rack up fortunes much more easily. And most of the non-Jews in Europe and America were Christians. That's probably why a disproportionate number of Jewish families have huge family fortunes, and once you're already at the top it's usually not too hard to stay there.
