Okay, wait, explain to me how it's an insult to say Jews run Hollywood? Is there some criticism involved or are they just saying "Jews run Hollywood"? I thought this was just a holdover from the many Jewish people involved in the entertainment industry.

Because... it's not factual? Because it connotates a conspiracy? Because many people ACTUALLY hold numerous, numerous anti-Semitic conspiracy theories so saying THEY RUN HOLLYWOOD, even in jest, is fucked up?

because it plays into a massive history of conspiracy theories - held by legitimately crazy people - about massive secret Jewish conspiracies which clandestinely control culture / finance / politics. it's the same shit that people have been saying for at least a century and it plays into a certain image of the Jews and a certain understanding of the way that modern society functions. it's obviously more benign than straight-up Elders of Zion shit, but it's still something that's untrue that plays into those conspiracy theories & makes believing those kinds of things more normal.

tl;dr - because crazy people actually take it seriously, not as a joke, and actually believe a conspiracy of Jewish people run Hollywood for the advantage of Jews

What [personal profile] wauwy said. One of the chief excuses for anti-Semitism throughout history has been this idea that Jewish people are conspiring to hold wealth and/or power for ourselves and often through unsavory means. The "Jews run Hollywood" stereotype is just another offshoot of that.
