As you all know Ben Shapiro is very Ashkenazim, I’ve heard from some jerks spouting out that his mother’s line traces far back from the Spanish Inquisition in 1492 (which means that Ben Shapiro may have a few amounts of Albanian Jewish and Portuguese Jewish heritage which in turn gives out an ‘Indonesian Jewish’ ancestry through the Dutch East Indies colony). Not much is actually known about his mother, but I know for sure that Ben’s family has always told him that he had to claim his ethnicity as “pure” Ashkenazi Jewish, which may be the reason why —- —– —- — ———- ——–.- Other than that, I suspect that both his parents hail from Argentina, a heavily Ashkenazi Jewish country.
So change the original to something like this:
Ashkenazi Jewish => Ashkenazi Jewish [Argentinian Jewish]
