I have a few concerns about this ethnicity issue. First of all, why is the ethnicity mentioned at all? You don't see Barack Obama's infox listing him as African. Ethnicity is a very controversial slippery slope and it should not be advocated in this article without consensus to do it for all articles. This issue will become very problematic as there are no good reference sources to a person's ethnicity other than their physical appearances. Second, the article mentions that Zuckerberg was raised Jewish. This is a very valid statement and there are good references to show it. However, "Jewish" in this context refers to a religion. He was raised under the traditions of the Jewish religion which he later left and became an atheist. This fact, and all the supporting references, do not establish Judaism as his ethnicity. The claim of "Jewish" ethnicity is only creating confusion about his religion and adding absolutely nothing to the rest of the article. With this argument, I want to propose that we remove the references to Zuckerberg's ethnicity from this article. They are un-referenced and are creating more ambiguity than they dispel.

Lie

This sentence "Zuckerberg was raised Jewish and had his bar mitzvah when he turned 13" has two sources, nut none of it has at least single word about that! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.12.216.214 (talk) 18:22, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Fixed with added cite and linking to existing one. Thank you for calmly noting the error.--Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 20:33, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

I hate these discussions, and we've had them before, so I'll try to be brief and then let others weigh in (yet again). The problem with the Jewish category is it doesn't indicate whether it means ethnic or theological. We should probably have two new categories to replace it so it's clearer. But let's assume that we can use the category for someone who identifies as an ethnic Jew even if he is an atheist. The problem is that the article doesn't support any self-identification as an ethnic Jew. Now I know that WP:BLPCAT doesn't mention ethnicity, just religion and sexual orientation, but if we have an ambiguous category, like this one, it's reasonable to say we shouldn't categorize him as an ethnic Jew unless he says he is. Anyway, I'll bow out now and let editors hopefully reach a consensus on the issue.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:00, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Bbb, the problem with your views is that it is not consistent with historic wikipedia policy. Both Zuckerberg's parents are Jewish, he was raised in a Jewish family, and participates in Jewish-related events. American Jew does not = American Judaism. BLPCAT does not apply because it only relates to religion, not ethnicity. Are you claiming Zuckerberg is not an ethnic Jew? Because that's a losing argument. WikifanBe nice 20:26, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Apparently M. Z. is genetically jewish, but not culturally-religiously jewish, because inter-racial marriage is strictly prohibited in judaism. Not discrimination but practical necessity! That is how that small tribe of just a few million people survived 5+ millenia, simply by not mixing away in the billions of goyim of the world. That is why halachial law bans jews from "sitting at the table of goyim and accepting their wine" because that dilutes morals. He was excepted to marry a pureblood jewish girl, just like his father and grandfather, etc. did ever since the Mount Tabor. 91.82.243.3 (talk) 20:39, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

What? Natalie Portman married a non-Jew, yet she is still Jewish. Focus on the facts. WikifanBe nice 20:43, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

I agree with you on this, Wikifan, the fact that Zuckerberg married someone of a different race (don't know if she's Jewish) is irrelevant to whether he is ethnically, or even religiously, Jewish. Lots of Jews marry outside their religion (or ethnicity).--Bbb23 (talk) 21:32, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Do we know for sure that Natalie Portman's husband is not Jewish? I could never really find the answer. It appears based on some comments she made that he is not. Maybe he converted? These are very important questions to answer on the Mark Zuckerberg talk page, I would say. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 00:11, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
