You say it's taboo... It's not really taboo in Hollywood. It might be taboo at any particular dinner table. But in this industry there's undeniably more of a taboo against being percieved a bigot than there against the marginalized groups they're trying to shelter from any cricism.
It's all about how powerful the lobbying group behind you is. Jews are far from a disenfranchised group in this country yet you can still get in trouble for saying anything that borders on anti-Semitic.
