The Golden Peach Pit: “GoodFellas” led the list of movies, TV shows and commercials receiving “Golden Pit Awards” for ethnic insults. The awards, presented n the form of gold spray-painted peach pits, were presented by William Fugazy, chairman of the National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations. The parody record “As Kosher as They Wanna Be,” by “2 Live Jews” was singled out for self-denigrating Jewish jokes. The NBC soap opera “Santa Barbara” was also recognized, and Fox’s “In Living Color” was tapped for crossing “the fine line of comedy with its negative reinforcements of ethnic stereotypes.”
