His father wasn’t actually Irish, the father was born in England to Irish parents, Irish-English just like the Irish-American term.
The father is of full Irish ancestry though and doesn’t have English ancestry.
You’re very stupid. His father could have been born in India and he’d still be Irish.
Looks like he has Jewish blood. Something about him.
Someone cannot look ‘Jewish’. Being Jewish means being a part of that religion.
Its actually an ethno religion. Mark Zuckerberg is an at
Sorry, mean to say Mark Zuckerberg is an atheist yet still ethnically Jewish.
Well actually Judaism is a religion but Ashkenazi and Sephardic are ethnicities as well with a certain appearance such as Irish, Italian, or Norwegian.
I know you weren’t talking to me. You can be born Jewish, and even convert into being Jewish.
But can’t look it. I’ve seen a lot of Jewish people with different ethnic features.
So I’m sure you weren’t talking to me.
me?
Lmfao you can’t “look Jewish”. Don’t be an ass.
Oh, you can. It’s not always accurate, but every ethnicity has features that make it easy to distinguish where they’re from if you’re familiar with the appearance. For example, if you’re aware of how Koreans look based on their appearance, you’ll be able to pick them apart from other East Asians because of their specific features.
xoxo you should look in the mirror and change your ways. I know you might hate ancestry but there is no place for you to call good hearted people an “ass.” I am willing to forgive and forget.
You’re so stupid. You and the NeilTennant guy.
Get a brain please. Lool
Yes Jewish is also an ethnicity…
Jewish is a religion, no one can look Jewish. It’s like saying someone looks muslim.
@Capricious are you wacky? btw it’s “lol”.
You don’t have to be ethnically Jewish to practice Judaism but I see nothing in him that looks Jewish. He looks really Irish to me.
I suppose he is English but he only has Irish blood , I have heard him singing traditional Irish songs before .
