Race	White	Jewish	Mixed / Other	Latino	Total	Visuals	Info
Ethnic	4	1	1		6		This is the most reliable data source for accurate ethnic breakdowns of famous people. Often the information is crowdsourced by users and they cite all their sources (family trees, obituaries, census archives, etc.) on the bottom of the page. The only issue is converting their ambiguous and inconsistent verdicts into quantifiable variables. Source: https://ethnicelebs.com/
Kairos	5				5		A third party facial recognition software company we used to maintain objectivity. Upload images to the facial recognition demo page to check the veracity of our data set. Or use their API and do a bulk peer review if you'd like. Source: https://www.kairos.com/demos
Forebears	4			1	5
Jew		1			1		Believe it or not, this website is actually ran by proud Jews who just poke fun at themselves. However, they celebrate Judaism and Ashkenazi DNA. Their verdicts are varied and have humorous opinions added, but we filter them into a quantifiable binary Jewish or not variable. Unlike Ethnicelebs, this data set uses religion when determining if a person is Jewish or not, even if they have zero Ashkenazi DNA. Source: http://www.jewornotjew.com/
Surname	1				1		A third party free program that uses US Census data to create an algorithm that analyzes surnames and guesses what ethnicity the person is. Obviously there are issues with this data set such as African Americans who have the last names of their ancestors' slave owner. However, when no other data set is available, this can give a rough estimate and expand the data pool for the less important cast members with no IMDb or TMDb image. Please consider downloading their source code via GitHub to verify the accuracy of our data set, and to peer review our conclusions. Source: https://pypi.org/project/ethnicolr/

Notes		If there were any inconsistencies with percentages calculated using our Census data, the Jewish Data Bank percentages were the ones used. Also please review the Jewish Data Bank pdf to understand the difference between the "Core" Jewish population and the "Extended" / "Law of Return" Jewish populations. We are displaying the "Core" Jewish populations since that is what the Jewish Data Bank and Wikipedia articles chose. Also, the 1942 population estimates were used for the 1940 row. For the 2000 estimates, the "Core" definition was not used, so we used the 5.2 mil broader estimate instead of the 4.3 mil estimate since the 5.2 broader estimate seemed too drastic of a drop and the definitions weren't congruent with Core and Law of Return.	The "Mixed / Other" categories overlap, and the 2 or more category was not an option until the 2000 Census. So for the combined column, all data will be taken from the "Other" column except for 2000, 2010, & 2020. For those, the average between the "2 or More Races" and "Some Other Race" will be used.	Many Latinos check "White" or "Other" on the Census. So this overlaps with "Mixed" race and "White." Also, when there was a discrepancy with the percentage listed on the Wikipedia table and our calculated numbers, the Wiki table's numbers were used. Likewise, when the population total was missing from the Census pdf, the estimate was calculated using the percentage from the Wiki table. NOTE: It turns out that the reason America doesn't have a separate "Latino" race is because the League of Latin American Citizens protested against discrimination towards Mexicans and got themselves to legally be considered "White."

Review Title

Rating*

Rating is just the typical 5 star rating you'd give the film like you'd see on any other review site.

Support*

Support is a boycott suggestion and is meant to be a way for us to consolidate our efforts in “voting with our dollars.” Obviously, Hollywood has proven that they will sacrifice profits for the sake of their agenda, but they’re not as monolithic as you’d think. And people still respond to incentives.

So the 3 options are:

Pay to watch:

This movie is worth your time, and you should support the creators financially so we get more content like it.

Watch it AND give them money.

Watch if free:

The show is entertaining, but you shouldn’t reward the creators for whatever reason. Perhaps you don't want to support preachy celebs who hate their fans. Or maybe you enjoy superhero movies and nostalgia bait, but don't want to encourage Hollywood to continue making them in such a high ratio.

That’s when you’d click the “Watch Now” button and choose from one of the “Free” links:

( Use at your own risk. ZeitgeistReviews does not endorse any of the links and we don’t condone piracy. And we definitely discourage you from using this Reddit thread that shows you all of the places to pirate movies & tv. )

Watch it BUT don’t give them money.

Skip it:

This means the movie wasn’t even worth your time. Maybe it's so full of Woke crap that you’ll want to pull your hair out half way through. Or it could simply just be a piece of s**t, and not in a "so bad it's good" kind of way.

Don’t watch it AND don’t give them money.

( Note: We have expanded our site from just TV & Movies. Now we have games and will add music/books/etc. So the wording might change but the sentiment is still the same for every "Support" section. )

Review text*

Note: Please wrap spoilers [spoiler] like this. [/spoiler]

Neo-Marxism

Neo-Marxism, (sometimes referred to as "Cultural Marxism"), rates the amount of fanatic egalitarianism in a film. Consider this mainly a rating for anti-nationalist and anti-capitalist themes.

Feminism

Strong and multidimensional female characters are fine. This is mainly referring to girlboss crap, unrealistic Mary Sue content, and/or egregious scenes of manhood being disparaged.

Affirmative Action

Affirmative Action rates how much "diversity" is being pushed. ( Not true diversity, but the anti-White checklist kind.)

Gay Stuff

Gay Stuff rates the amount of non-tradional sexuality depicted.

Fedora Tipping

Fedora Tipping rates the amount of atheism / Scientism™ in a film.
