My friend said she didn't really like it, "but you can probably relate to the characters better, since you're from an ethnic family."
I hear the Jews and Greeks are very similar, what with the loud talking and the wackiness. I mean, right?
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
People with large and voluble families were probably the people who found it easy to relate to the family in that movie.
People like me.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Well, Jews aren't quite white because the whole religion thing, darker than that Vanity Fair's cover complexion, exotic yet still mostly familiar ingredients food that one can be "into", colorful parental behavior, prominent noses, loud arguments, and coarse dark hair.
Greeks aren't quite white for just about all the same reasons. (They have Christmas and Easter all wrong you know...)
See how much y'all have in common?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I spent precious moments of today reading debates about Colin's height and sexuality. Ah, Internet. Never let me down.

As an Italian-American, I find that "ethnic" means Jews, Greeks and Italians like "urban" means black (and possibly hispanic).

Absolutely. I think "urban" just means black.
