Fans debate whether George Constanza is Italian, Jewish, both, or neither, with posters requesting definitive proof rather than speculation about his religious and ethnic background.
Okay, like, I posted the original George Italian/Jewish question last week. Here's the deal. Everyone knows that George is Italian. Is he Jewish as well? That's the question.
Also, I know that Italian is a nationality and Judaism is a religion. I'm going to tell y'all a story, see? My name is Jose' Goldstein, a pretty confusing name in and of itself. Am I jewish? Or am I Mexican? The answer, simply, is BOTH!
I want proof, not speculation. I expected more from this group. Jeez!

What kind of proof do you want? Have we ever seen George going into a synagogue? Do we know if George observes all the kosher rules? I don't think I've ever seen him wear a yarmulke. I've never seen a menorah at his parents house. He doesn't observe Chanukah. In short, IF he is Jewish he's not very religious, so what does it matter, anywho? O.K. Does anybody know if George has been circumcised?

In the episode about the circumcision, I think it was implied that both Jerry and George are circumcised. Then again, many non-Jewish men are.
Why don't you go get a life??? Can't society just enjoy the company of one another without bringing in issues such as race and religious beliefs, much less arguing where a fictional character stand on his personal beliefs.
Personally, I've never met an Italian Jew.

So because you've never met an Italian Jew means they don't, or can't, exist? I do know an Italian Jew, and believe it or not, there are Chinese Jews, South American Jews from numerous countries, etc.
And why do you assume that Jose' Goldstein (a Mexican Jew, by his own description) doesn't "enjoy the company of others without bringing in issues of race and religious beliefs?" He said nothing about religious beliefs at all.
As for last week's episode in relation to this issue, I still feel strongly that George would more likely have said "Hey, I'm Italian too," had he been Italian. But he didn't. He said his NAME is Italian, because he is not Italian.

You are right to mistrust anything George says, but earlier this season Frank met his cousin in Italy.
