Slap a Hungarian
Hungarian-born big-time Hollywood screenwriter Joe Eszterhas (Flashdance, The Music Box, Basic Instinct, Showgirls, among others), in an interview with the Cleveland Plain Dealer (where he grew up) about his new memoir, Hollywood Animal, has this to say about our beloved Magyars:
Q: You’re proud of your heritage but critical, too. What are some Hungarian traits you write about?
A: Being pushy, suicidally passionate, judgmental, narrow-minded, anti-Semitic, racist - and those are the good qualities. (Laughs) In the book I mention the saying, “If you see a Hungarian in the street, walk up and slap him. He’ll know why.”
