Debra Messing = Puerto Rican??


Can Debra Messing pass for Puerto Rican? Or is she not part of the family? LOL

reply

She's not playing a Puerto Rican character. She's just married to John Lequizamo's character.

When the hurly-burly's done. When the battle's lost and won.

WASPy Jewish? Talk about an oxymoron!

WASP stands for White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.

Maybe she is. I can swear "Grace" was Jewish, as well.

onefromnone, you obviously aren't from New York City. WASPy Jew is not at all a contradiction.

I'm sick & tired of people being so ignorant to think Puerto Ricans are all black or indian. Most of PR is white due to the fact that Italians. Spaniards, French and German settled there many years ago.
I'm half Puerto Rican & my PR fam is whiter looking than Debra Messing!
I wish this nonsense would stop...

You know, Roger Ebert mentioned this board on his review of Nothing Like the Holidays.

He called the thread starters "deep thinkers". LOL

She married in to it. She is of Greek heritage.

Surely you can't be serious.
I am serious, and don't call me Shirley

Debra Messing herself was born Jewish. She was not married into it.

Per her character, Sarah is supposed to be Jewish. They never say it outright, but they drop hints. Like when Sarah mentioned she didn't "grow up singing Christmas carols" and at the end when Anna gave them a Christening gown and she turned to Mauricio in shock 'cause they hadn't discussed religion. (In Judaism, the child is considered Jewish if his/her mother is, regardless of whether the father is or not; however, if the father is Jewish and the mother is not, the child isn't.)

For what it's worth, John Leguizamo is married to a Jewish woman so I'm sure he felt right at home.
