My mother is French-Italian with a little Spanish blood in her. I've been raised, and she was, as far as I know, raised as a Christian.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I tell people I'm an Italian Jew, they're very amused by it. But obviously by blood I'm Jewish, because my mother is.
As you may know, I was raised in an Italian Catholic family in Baltimore, Maryland.
I also identify as a Latin person, a person who has Latin blood.
I grew up in a Ukrainian Catholic-turned-Christian household, and that is my family's faith.
My father was ethnically Jewish, but his family converted to Catholicism.
Through the years, I found we had Native American blood in us. My great-grandmother came from the island of Martinique, and they hooked up with the Native Americans of Louisiana.
I grew up Catholic. My mother is from El Salvador, so my family on her side is Roman Catholic. My father is Protestant, and while he was spiritual, he wasn't much of a churchgoing person. I think it's fairly common for families to be brought up in the mother's religion.
My mom's family is Russian Jewish, and my dad's Puerto Rico Catholic, so it's kind of a weird mix.
I'm not a religious person. My mom was of Jewish blood and my dad was Protestant.
My parents were French and Irish and our family even has Spanish blood-and I do so love the United States and consider myself part American.
