        I may be wrong but I thought it said Dahl's agent warned him against it. That would be in the U.K. Not Hollywood

        You're probably right. But my reference was to the Hollywood celebrity culture, not a geographic locale ~

        Roald Dahl was also quite notorious for really, *really* not liking Jews.https://twitter.com/kingzephyr/status/908724882841550848 …

        NYT - everything is about race. Every ridiculous slanted story. That's what you live off, race baiting.
