    I dont’ understand why there are negative responses to this article, but I genuinely enjoyed learning about these celebrities lineages. I knew about a couple of them, like Lenny. I am surprised to learn about Lauren as I did not know of her mixed heritage. Also, being Jewish is a religion AND an ethnicity. The Israelites of the Old Testament were not persecuted because of the god they worshipped but for actually being Jewish.

    The fact that you even had to write this mess proves that some of us Blacks are slow. Not all Blacks are christians and it should not “shock” one when there are others who are Jewish, Hindu, Muslim etc etc. Like for real.. Grow up.

      Jewish isn’t an ethnicity… It’s a religion.
