On the other hand. we are on the receiving side. We are receiving in this country thousands of actors in Hollywood. They are going there in flocks. Some are not actors at all. but they get a contract from somebody in the United States and the American consul is compelled to give them a visa because they do not come under the contractlabor provision. in other words. the consul is compelled to issue visas to a lot of "hams" just because they come from European countries. Some producers like their foreign names in preference to American names. American art. and American artists.
Identified stereotypes
Generalizing that European actors are not talented ('hams') and are taking jobs from American artists.
