Did you see the title of the thread? Spanish, Jewish, BOTH, or Neither. Besides, we now know that she is Mexican, with probably some Spanish ancestry. I did think it was either-or, but now I know it is neither. It is rare to find a Spanish Jew in the U.S. today, that recognizes their Jewishness as well as their Spanish ancestry. Most recognize their Jewishness, and some who have Spanish-Jewish ancestry, have ancestors who converted to Catholicism, and therefore recognize their Spanish ancestry.
