I really don't feel like I'm going "far afield" here. When I think "Magneto" the first things that come to mind are "X-men" and "old" and "wheelchair". AFAIK I literally have never seen any info saying he is Jewish until today. And according to the commenter below this detail of Magento was invented in 2008, well after many of the movies were made.

He's Jewish, and a Holocaust survivor. It's central to the character's backstory from nearly the beginning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto_(Marvel_Comics)
And it's in the opening scene of the first X-Men movie (2000). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dI7SEIKaKwE
And is a recurring theme in others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY2eW2cXcNg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu8g3Z2Hles
OK, I stand corrected. Thank you. I clearly don't know what I'm talking about. I'm not really an X-man fan.
Did you learn anything about going to bat for racists?
