thread_title:  How to reach him? 

message: I would do it but I don't have the time and energy now to deal with all the links.
The article says:
Segel's father is Jewish,[8][9][10] whereas his mother is of English, Scottish, Irish, and French descent.[11] (and then continues, "He has stated that he was raised Jewish,[12] as well as ;a little bit of everything'").
There is a whole Talk section here debating the 'German-ness' of the name Segel, but I think people are missing a more important point. Being Jewish is neither a race (there is no such thing as race), ethnicity, nor nationality (not all Israelis are Jewish, and not all Jews are Israeli). It's fundamentally a religion, though does have certain very complex genetic implications -- remember, there are German Jews, Moroccan Jews, Chinese Jews, ... So these few sentences should be rewritten. To counterpose being Jewish and being English etc. reflects old and dangerous stereotypes about Jews, though I'm sure the writer did not mean that.After all, can't you be a French or German Jew? Or to turn it around, a Jewish French or German person?
Here is an idea: 
1) Find out the ethnic background of his father.
2) Write:
Segel's father is of XXX descent [insert ETHNIC background here], and his mother is of English, Scottish, Irish, and French descent.[11] His father is Jewish, and Segel has stated that he was raised Jewish,[12] as well as a little bit of everything. Hanamizu (talk) 08:39, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
