Not that this will stop the influx of dumb "Is BJ white" threads, but here you go.

This is what gaming has turned into.

He's been part Jewish ever since Wolfenstein 3D, one of the creators at Id Software said it years ago.

Didn't stop folks from denying it, including dozens of threads on this very forum.

It's not clickbait. People actually kept arguing on whether or not he's white, so clarification was needed.

He's has blonde hair and blue eyes and pale skin. He's anglo as hell. So what if his mother's a Jew? That doesn't mean he's part of the Jewish religion. Polygon's just trying to push an agenda.

He is Polish not Jewish, and who gives a ♥♥♥♥ he is a fictional character, romero prolly came up with his identity while taking a dump.

First... who really cares what Polygon says.

Second, you probably aren't going to find too many people offended by a Jewish hero

Third, that only counts if you are Jewish. If you are not of that particular faith then it's completely inconsequential that his mother was Jewish. He is also not in any way shown to be a practicing Jew ever as far as I know. So, you are talking about him being partially an ethnic Jew which means he is in fact just a white guy. Lets not forget that Adolf Hitler was also part Jewish. Just as an example of how little this actually means to anything at all.

Sorry trolls, the mere fact that he is part Jewish means literally nothing... unless you are a big racist who writes for and reads Polygon. Afterall, they are the one's upholding the idea that Jewish people are not white (despite the color of their skin). Notice how the 99.9% of all people don't care what his ethnic background is or what the actual color of his skin is.

Doesnt matter if he is practicing or not, if his mother was jew, he is also a jew doesnt matter if he wants to or not.Who cares if he is polac,russian,slav, or what ever.Also if you have something against religion, you are not a racist, since Religion=not a race.Goodness those people

Tha game will be awesome, thats the only thing that counts.

No, it means nothing if his mother was Jewish if he himself is not a practicing Jew. That is just a weird old stupid idea. But I'm not even denying that he is Jewish, I'm saying it doesn't matter that he is. But there are in fact 2 different kinds of Jews. Religious and Ethnic. These two people are very different from each other in a lot of ways. You can be both of course, but you can also only be ethnically Jewish (of Jewish ethnic descent). But anyone who is an ethnic Jew only doesn't subscribe to the same belief system or ideas of social norms.

To simplify, the idea that you are a Jew if your mother is Jew is an aspect of religious Judaism. So, in real world terms, the idea that you are a Jew if your mother was but you are not a religious Jew is actually completely meaningless in real world terms. Also is a really handy thing the Nazis used to just imprison and kill more people, how convenient that belief is for people to justify things. Notice how Polygon, being a bunch of racists, actually is making an argument that he can't be white because he is a Jew. Awful similar to how the Nazis used it.

Well, our Chancelor "Angela Merkel" born by a Jewish Teacher, is also Jewish.And you think they would practice it like in the Opening? like the Ultra Orthodox who wear the hat and the Black clothing?

No, they dont.Also jews back in germany, practiced it at home, not openly on the streat.

Not all jews are bad, and i say this as a "German".

I would say that no Jews are bad just because they are Jews. Don't misunderstand what I'm saying, I have no issues with Jewish people. I'm just saying there is a vast difference between religious and ethnic jews.
