Movies are goyish.

The past time of Torah true Jews ought to be a Torah true one, not Pixar, Hollywood, and the rest.

Your problems wouldn't be problems if you raised your children properly. Then they likely wouldn't know or care about such stupidities.

I have a lot of words but won't use most of them. Suffice it to say that

1) This movie was not written with Jews in mind. The issues facing Koreans, Chinese, and hundreds of other groups are not the same as the ones facing Jews. If you want to have that discussion it will take a while.

2) It is just proud of fifty years since racial purity laws in the US were overturned and it became legal to intermarry. And it was only a couple decades earlier that Germany's Nuremberg racial laws were removed by fire and sword. i do not want eirher to return. No Jew should.

3) Other than being a member of the Nation of Israel what are the "strengths" of inbreeding to which you are referring, Rabbi? They are not health or intelligence or physical strength or moral fiber. And we yidden pay a terrible price due to genetic diseases, especially the Ashkenazim. when premarital DNA testing is routine because of genetic diseases things have gone dangerously wrong from a purely biological standpoint.

4) At other points in history what constituted intermarriage and the barriers to it was different than today's halacha. A different discussion
