But I've noticed some popular writers sell a lot of books filled with stereotypes.Mark Pettushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650234232914657192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-1134165709639483372005-12-09T17:01:00.000-05:002005-12-09T17:01:00.000-05:00Thanks, Jason, I'll be sure to visit.

In Highlander, they've got a Swede playing a Scotsman, and a Scotman playing a Spaniard.<BR/><BR/>Sarah, yes, she does a great job.

Somewhere in one of my mss., I mention that in Hollywood movies about Rome, the Romans are played by Brits and the Jews are played by Italians.<BR/><BR/>I'm doing what I can to portray my culture as something other than a bunch of extras from the cast of The Godfather or The Sopranos. <BR/><BR/>Good links by the way.
