Michael Richards ... not all that Jewish

| | Comments (1) |

Defamer via AP delves into the question of Michael Richards' religion:

"Technically, not having been born by blood as Jewish and not formally going into a conversion, it was purely his interpretation of having adopted Judaism as his religion," Rubenstein told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "He told me, `I'm Jewish,' when I asked him.
"He said there were two mentors who raised him and who had a big influence on his life, and they were Jewish. He said, `I agree with the concepts and the religious beliefs of Judaism and I've adopted Judaism as my religion,'" Rubenstein said. "He really thinks of himself as Jewish."

So that means he ain't Jewish, and he's certainly not black, so his recent onstage tirades against those two groups are looking worse and worse. And I won't even go into Mel Gibson's comment ... well, you know why.

Your lawyer and your agent do not count as "mentors." He's SO not a member of the tribe.
