Aren’t Jews a tiny minority of people on Earth?
Why would you even ask that on this profile?
At the height of Jews in Germany 99% of the population was still not Jewish.
You’re an ignorant poster.
Shamefully ignorant.

correction; his eyes are green and his hair is dark brown (brunet)
This guy could fit into many parts of Europe
He is married to Aviva, an actress whose father is Jewish.
Aviva is a British insurance company lol
Aviva Baumann (‘nee Farber), is an actress most notably from the film Superbad.
Why point out the partial Jewish ancestry of his wife?
Not exactly sure what value that has to his ethnicity?
Explain?
Well, one can see german people, who look like him, and
british, too
Is he dark???
I never claimed, english and german people are always
blond. Brown hair and eyes are common.
Victoria has BLACK hair and non-european facial features
“I never claimed, english and german people are always
blond.”
The vast majority of English/Germans are not blonde.
