Preoccupation with Religion/Ethnicity?

Right now it feels like there is a rather strong emphasis (verging on preoccupation?) with the Jewish parentage of someone who self-identifies as non-practicing and secular. I wonder if one or two of the references to [2] should be removed or combined? Please let me know if I am mistaken and it is a big part of Craig's identity.

Agreed. Perhaps a bot could be deployed to amend biographies of all secular non-skydivers as well as those who avoid going to traveling circuses?  :-) —EncMstr (talk) 18:38, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

it's about right. I identify as nerd, customer service rep, and Jew, it's just that I don't talk much about the last 4.31.68.199 (talk) 19:12, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

As mentioned in the Template:Infobox person, "Ethnicity should be supported with a citation from a reliable source". In general I strongly disagree in having such a line, and in this specific case - furthermore - there is no "citation from a reliable source" included. --Iopensa (talk) 08:24, 10 February 2014 (UTC). Sorry, I see that in text that there are citations, nevertheless having in your biography a story of your life and family is different than having an infobox with a simple statement which frames you ethnically. it is not the same thing and it does not do the same. --Iopensa (talk) 08:31, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
