FAO Jenny's idle amusement

Ladi-nope

(That's a bit inside baseball. Ladino is kind of the Sephardic equivalent of Yiddish. A combo of Spanish and Hebrew, basically).

Ha! My friend, who I've been talking with about this, is an Argentinian Jew.

But he may not be Sephardic! Most of the South American Jews I know are Ashkenazi. My best friend in STL is from Uruguay, but her grandparents immigrated there from Germany.

Ah, right. I don't know his family's Old World roots.

Bottom line is I have major Sephardic envy. I used to think I had to have some Sephardic ancestry because my great grandfather on my dad's side was very swarthy (he lived well into his 90s and didn't die until I was a teenager, so I actually knew him pretty well). I used to think he had to be Syrian or Yemini or something. Nope, did the DNA test and I am 99% boring ass Ashkenazi.

Don't worry, to some populations you'll always be terrifyingly exotic.

The entire state of Utah, for example.

If not for the threat of violence, we could make like bandits on the carnie circuit there!

Seriously. When I lived there in the late 90s, I was the most ethnic person there aside from Karl Malone.

i didn't know you moved there for him. That makes the relationship even more tragic. Now what the hell was he doing out there?

He was a computer programmer - lots of tech companies there at the time.

Thankfully, it was just a wilderness YEAR.
