Bugs Bunny, the worlds most famous rabbit, is Jewish, a renowned British cinematic historian claims.
Revealing his findings at a lecture held recently at Britains University of Warwick, Israeli daily newspaper Ma'ariv reported the film expert David Yehuda Stern claimed the cartoon character exhibits tell-tale Jewish traits: He lives in a Jewish neighborhood, has a distinctly New York/Jewish accent and uses witty repartee to side-step all attempts to eliminate him.
Stern, who studied thousands of animated shorts featuring the rabbit, delved deep and found an episode in which Bugs Bunny's early life in a New York neighborhood is portrayed. Stern revealed that the rabbit's childhood panorama is alive with an array of Eastern European Jewish types, including ultra-Orthodox Jews.
Lending credence to the theory of Jewish inspiration behind Bugs Bunny, Stern noted in his lecture that the both the cartoon's producer and the character's voice actor, Leon Schlesinger and Mel Blanc, were Jews.
Correction: An earlier version of this article erroneously stated that Bugs Bunny's most notorious enemy is Porky Pig. While the two are known to frequently squabble, often in the public eye, they are in fact good friends.

Marvin the Martian reminds me of rethel, especially the way he talks, so a Polack.
Sylvester the cat is Italian, gives off that fuggetaboutit vibe.
Tweety bird is a cute little Finnish Swede.

ROFLMAO
But Finnish Swede should be linked to a much more obnoxious character, IMHO

lol.... yes it is. 1% with 23andme, is likely noise.
unless it is sooo accurate, it can detect your ancestry down to the 0.01 and be completely accurate. yeah, sure.

How did you discover this and what difference does it make compared to having another kind of soul?

Bugs Bunny looks Irish. I see some traits.

It isn't noise, but it is Sephardic (and maybe some Mizrahi too) Converso ancestry rather than Ashkenazi. I don't think there were any Ashkenazim in Ecuador unless your German ancestor was part Jewish.
Do you think that some part of it is actually Ashkenazi?

You get it also on FTDNA, Ancestry and DNA.Tribes. So yeah, it's not noise.
But on FTDNA you get it as "Sephardic", IIRC.
