Against larger Hollywood trends towards embracing cultural identity, Jewish characters on TV are still depicted as hiding or playing down their Jewishness, per a new study from USC Annenberg Norman Lear Center’s Media Impact Project.

The study also confirmed that “Jewface” really does exist: Only about half of Jewish characters are played by confirmed Jewish actors.

Jewish actresses are 21 percent less likely to be cast as Jewish characters than their male counterparts are.

The study took a deeper look at depictions of the Orthodox community in film and TV, finding that half of the Orthodox characters are portrayed with “judgment and othering,” while one in five have a “generally cold demeanor” and are “dissatisfied with their lives.”

A third of all references to Orthodox Jews happen without an Orthodox Jew present — meaning they are being spoken about “as opposed to speaking for themselves.”

The study also detected a trend of Jews leaning away from their identities, with as many as 31 percent of characters embracing other cultures over their own. (An example are Hallmark Channel movies like Double Holiday and Holiday Date, where a Jewish character must learn the meaning of Christmas to keep her relationship alive.)

It found almost no diversity among the Jews on TV, all of whom are depicted as white or Ashkenazi Jews. Jews of color, Mizrahi Jews and LGBTQ-identifying Jews were not represented.
