Meyers Leonard’s Slur addressed NBC’s ‘Jew in the City’ protest

Meyers Leonard gets an olive branch from at least some in the Jewish community – a group called ‘Jew in the City’ wants to work with the Heat player, instead of canceling him.

We have “Jew in the city“founder Allison Josephs Wednesday in NYC during a rally in front of NBC, after which we’ll be out soon – but immediately we asked her about Leonard’s anti-Semitic incident.

Allison is actually quite gracious and says that the man should get a second chance as long as he is willing to learn what the epithet he used really means to Jews … and to learning more about Jewish people in general.

She suggests that Meyers actually meet with some Jewish people. As we reported, Patriots play the lead role Julian Edelmanis already reach out to him, and Allison believes this is the right approach in these situations.

Speaking of educating the masses … the group demonstrated at 30 Rock as part of its campaign to correct inaccurate images of Orthodox Jews on NBC programs such as ‘Nurses’ and ‘Law & Order: SVU’.

You may have recently heard of the ‘Nurses’ fiasco – which forced NBC to end the episode in question altogether after being accused of flushing out anti – Semitic tropes again. Cub, Allison says this is nothing new, pointing to a season 9 SVU episode just as creepy.
