Is Bugs Bunny a Jew?

[CrazyDaisy]

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.

Foghorn Leghorn is probably Italian (cause Leghorn is a town in Italy)

[Peterski]

Daffy is probably Scottish, Irish or Polish.

[CrazyDaisy]

Who cares

Jews care.

[Dick]

Tasmanian devil is Australian :rolleyes:

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.

Probably a Walser German from Italy.

Black Irish

Daffy Duck is African-American

[Bobby Martnen]

Tweety bird is a cute little Finnish Swede.

ROFLMAO

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

[Kouros]

And Elmer Fund is an antisemite, LITERALLY Hitler

Andean and Jewish peoples feel a special connection, united by their noses.

Why would it be noise? Either way I have a Jewish soul.

lmao,,,,,,, so you really think that your 1% jewish is real?

[CrazyDaisy]

lmao,,,,,,, so you really think that your 1% jewish is real?

That usually isn’t noise.

[greasycaveman]

That usually isn’t noise.

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.

[Peterski]

Either way I have a Jewish soul.

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

[CrazyDaisy]

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.
I have some Jewish DNA relatives as well.

What about Maleficent?

[Heather Duval]

Bugs Bunny looks Irish. I see some traits.

[Peterski]

Why would it be noise?

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?

[Peterski]

...

[Peterski]

That usually isn’t noise.

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.
