Donald Sterling was born Donald Tokowitz on April 26, 1934, in Chicago.[10][11][12][13] His family moved to the Boyle Heights area of Los Angeles when he was two years old. His parents, Susan and Mickey, were Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants.[10][14][15][16] He attended Theodore Roosevelt High School in Los Angeles, where he was on the school's gymnastics team and served as class president; he graduated in 1952. He then attended California State University, Los Angeles (class of 1956) and Southwestern University School of Law (class of 1960) in Los Angeles.[17]

When he was 25, he and his wife Shelly changed their surname to "Sterling", filing a formal petition to do so on December 9, 1959.[18] They cited the difficulty among his peers to pronounce "Tokowitz" and the belief that there would be financial benefits for the change.[18]

The film was banned in Israel for antisemitism.

It was banned in Egypt for portraying Fagin too sympathetically.[11]

Original serialization (1837–1839) – Fagin was repeatedly called “the Jew,” with language emphasizing his ethnicity alongside his criminal behavior. Critics, including Jewish readers and writers, called out the stereotyping.

Later editions – Dickens softened the language, reduced repetitive references to Fagin’s Jewish identity, and sometimes added small humanizing touches. These changes appeared gradually in reprints throughout the 1840s, 1850s, and even into the 1860s.

Motivation – Dickens acknowledged the criticism and wanted to avoid the impression that he was condemning Jewish people in general. He didn’t change the plot or Fagin’s role in the story—just the emphasis on ethnicity and some of the harsher descriptors.
