how can a show be too Jewish?

One person's comments on this show was that it was too Jewish. I'm a black woman and I think that comment comes from a truly ignorant place. The actors characters being Jewish doesn't come into view unless you're looking for it. When I watched the show, I wasn't thinking, "Hey, these people are Jewish!" I was thinking, "Hey, I hope this show is good." I am so sick and tired of people focusing on race and religion. Get over it and just enjoy the freaking show because it's really good. Btw, it's good to see Rob Morrow back on TV. I was superpleased to see Peter MacNicol. I love the dark style of the show and I think the music is awesome. I've never been good at math, well at least the probability aspect that they deal with on the show, so it's pretty awesome to watch this show and it's also great to watch the story unfold.
