Celebrities sharing similar heritage:

However, if you are one thousand percent sure that a celebrity (because this is what your site is centered around) is perhaps, Israeli [the country where the religion originates from] and you put Israeli/ Italian then YES they are mixed race because they’re Asian and European. Or even just saying, if you had valid sources and it was true that Larry King is Israeli, putting that as his ethnicity would be correct.

Sorry to be the one to say this but you’re wrong. :S Jewish is a word that describes one who follows the religion of Judaism. It is NOT a race. There are people of every ethnicity that are Jewish, just as there is Christian, Muslim and so on. To say someone is Jewish does not in any way, shape or form describe their ethnic background. So if someone is say, Italian and they happen to come from a Jewish household, and you put Italian/ Jewish…this only means that their heritage is Italian and the religion they practice is Judaism. This ALSO does not make them mixed race. It is no different than putting someone’s ethnicity is Christian. For all religions, it sounds ridiculous. Very silly. Not trying to be rude, just a heads up :)
