What does "half Jewish half Irish" even mean?

One parent is Irish and the other is Jewish.

[-] MudMan@fedia.io 26 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

So what are the religion and nationality of the other parents and why don't they count?

[-] FrenziedFelidFanatic@yiffit.net 81 points 2 years ago

Jewish is also an ethnicity. That’s why they can be ‘secular’ while still being half Jewish.

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 43 points 2 years ago

In this context Jewish is the ethnicity, Mara actually calls it out in the tweet

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Jews have lived in exile for so long that it created a genetically distinct ethnicity.

Yo. Pro tip: Judaism is the religion. Jewish is the ethnicity. A quick search would have told you that.

Judaism is the noun. Jewish is the adjective. A quick education would have told you that.

Jewish in this context refers to an ethnic group, as does Irish

[-] Ummdustry@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago

Or one parent was Irish and Jewish and the other was french and atheist

If it’s the mother then they are Jewish, if it’s the father they are not

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I didn't know the genes for Judaism were located in the X chromosome.
