Category talk:Jewish Characters

This category is poorly named. Jewish can refer to culture, race, and religion independently of each other. This is most definitely true in the Marvel Universe as well: Magneto is most definitely racially Jewish, probably culturally Jewish, and definitely NOT religiously Jewish. (see quote for Uncanny X-Men 150).

Similarly, Kitty Pryde has always been culturally and racially Jewish, but we didn't receive confirmation she was also religiously Jewish until Uncanny X-Men 159 when her faith burns Dracula as he touches her Star of David.

I believe Judaism refers specifically to the religion, but I am no religious scholar. --Squirrelloid 17:50, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
