My new favorite local news anchor

With the name of Kuperstein you thought he was Italian?

R1 Didn’t know his name. Been seeing him for the past week.

Very slappable

R1, i thought he was one of them Eye-talianos

There's absolutely NOTHING Italian about him, OP. Let me guess, you thought Matt Lauer was Italian too.

No bitch. I thought this ho was fucking Italian. It’s that simple. Now I learn he is not. Leave it alone. It’s over now.

Well I should say I thought he was part Italian.

You must take responsibility for your actions, OP/R7. There's no deleting these threads.

I know this may be a bit of a shock OP, but the actresses who portrayed Dorothy and Sophia on the The Golden Girls were not Italian but Jewish!

In my experience they are not shy about letting you know the name of the news anchor. OP must not have been paying attention.

Tsk.

Italians and Jews often get confused for some reason.

He came to NYC from Miami.

Are there a lot of Italians in Miami?

I don’t think so.

Americans are so funny and their need to define exactly what someone is. There ARE Italian Jews. Lots of them. They do exist. Why hasn’t that even crossed anymone’s mind - as if the two are mutually exclusive?

[quote] Italians and Jews often get confused for some reason

NY/NJ accents. Dark coloring. Mother issues.

I don’t think that concept ever crosses the mind of any Jewish-American or Italian-Americans, r13

My mom actually called them Italian Jews when I was younger, but I think she meant more that they didn’t have the stereotypical lighter complexion. She grew up in a Jewish neighborhood, so you probably notice these variations after awhile.

The Mediterranean eyebrows are so hot. It’s why Dave Franco is a Jewish-Italian gawd.

I just started noticing him in the past week. Everytime at the end of his segments I looked for a name title or for him to sign off but it never quite happened like that. I didn’t discover his fucking name and he doesn’t look so un-Italian. Fuck off now.

People—OP is letting us know that we are upsetting him by mocking his erroneous ethnic identification of Mr. Kuperstein. He forcefully and profanely asking us to stop. Please! Act accordingly.

[quote]Italians and Jews often get confused for some reason.

Not if you're from New York!

Here’s a vid. This is from ten years ago but he still looks the same on air. Reminds me of you of young better looking Ray Liotta.

I was once on an Amtrak train and there was a woman next to me who would today be a MAGA. I told her I was from New York and her first words were “Jewish or Italian?”

At the time it seemed like such an odd question. Now, thanks to OP, I get it.

R9- The actor who played the Italian Arthur Fonzarelli on Happy Days was Jewish.

[quote] Italians and Jews often get confused for some reason.

Because Ashkenazi and Italians are both linked to the Mediterranean.

And Penny Marshall and Gary Marshall and Joy Behar are all WOPs.

[quote] Not if you're from New York!

Honey, New York Italians and Jews are the ones who always get people confused. You must be a retard.

Jews and Italians are very similar. Food is a big deal, overbearing mothers, culturally religious, complete insanity.

Craig Melvin is Italian, right?

The modern mafia was founded by Italians and Jews—for example, Meyer Lansky (the model for Hyman Roth) and Bugsy Siegel (the model for Moe Greene). I wonder if OP is a Godfather fan. That could lead to confusion if you’re not paying attention and we already know IP does not pay attention.

An Italian friend of mine once met the grandmother of the Jewish guy she was dating: "Are you Jewish?" "No, Italian." "Eh, it's the next best thing."

R11 - tell me about it - just the other day I got a call to wish me Happy Hanukkah, I was like - MOM, I'm NOT Jewish!

Italians and Jews get along

So you people think there are like no generations of Jews in Italy? Ghetto IS an Italian word and was first used for Italian Jews.

Yes, there are Jews in Italy. Not a lot, but they do exist. We, however, are not talking about them. We are talking about American ethnic groups.

R2 Lie. He’s your “favorite” anchor yet you’d never seen or heard his name.

Them Daygos and Eye-talians sure do all look the same, them's purty too

[quote]"Are you Jewish?" "No, Italian." "Eh, it's the next best thing."

jewish grandma, italian gradian - same woman, different necklace

Unless OP thought he was watching “The Merchant of Venice” which could explain a lot.

R24- A genetic study of Ashkenazi Jews showed that the group of non Jewish Europeans which they are most closely related to are modern day Italians.

R26 - school lunch was boiled chicken today

[quote]r12 Are there a lot of Italians in Miami? I don’t think so.

Al Pacino is Italian.

I hate when cunts don’t read titles

R35 is a horro

Sylvester Stallone

Half of that Jersey Shore is not full Italian. I think only Mike the situation is. Snooki is not Italian at all genetically. She is Peruvian.

[quote]It’s why Dave Franco is a Jewish-Italian gawd.

Italian? I thought we were Portuguese.

R45 They are. Isn’t Liotta half Jewish?

It depends if someone can “pass.” Italian Robert De Niro took the swagger down a few notches in Casino and easily passed for Jewish.

A good guinea can pass

Any shirtless pics?

Three children- pass.

R43- Stallone is only half Italian and his mother Jackie was half Jewish.

R42 You’re a moron.

R51, you mean: half crazy. lol. I did love Jackie though. She was such a character.

[quote]Here we show that all four major founders, ~40% of Ashkenazi mtDNA variation, have ancestry in prehistoric Europe, rather than the Near East or Caucasus. Furthermore, most of the remaining minor founders share a similar deep European ancestry. Thus the great majority of Ashkenazi maternal lineages were not brought from the Levant, as commonly supposed, nor recruited in the Caucasus, as sometimes suggested, but assimilated within Europe. These results point to a significant role for the conversion of women in the formation of Ashkenazi communities, and provide the foundation for a detailed reconstruction of Ashkenazi genealogical history.

R50 Ikr.

So many choices of newsmen, weather guys, presenters, hosts...

Apparently the Romans liked the Jews and brought them thru Italy then northwards they went, this is nothing new really.

I’ll do a taste test

Yes, R57. More specifically, Roman women, repelled by the pungent odorata of uncircumcised peni, opened their legs for Semitic size-meat. Hence Billy Joel, Andy Cohen and Dave Franco to name but three.

He looks like a TEMU Zachary Quinto.

His facial features alone spell out "Kuperstein" right to left, like on a flaming tablet, OP.

Quit acting out.

Cameron Bopp on First-Alert 4 in St.Louis MO along with the hot to me Jon Kipper.

[quote]The modern mafia was founded by Italians and Jews—for example, Meyer Lansky (the model for Hyman Roth) and Bugsy Siegel (the model for Moe Greene).

Mobster Bugsy Siegel, who founded Las Vegas, was Jewish, too.

The Oscar-winning Italian film LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL (1998) is about Italian Jews in the concentration camps.

Don't confuse OP R12, Miami? He could have thought Kuperstein is Puerto Rican.

[quote] Mobster Bugsy Siegel, who founded Las Vegas, was Jewish, too.

Read much?

[quote] Mobster Bugsy Siegel, who founded Las Vegas, was Jewish, too.

And there isn't even a plaque or a signpost or a statue of him in that town!

Cameron Bopp

Who watches linear television?

This guy could def pass for white adjacent.

I asked a hairdresser once why Italian women used wear their hair so BIG. He said they were copying the Jews. Jewish women - big hair, Italian women - bigger hair. This confused Howard Stern once when he was doing “who’s a Jew” after picking people off the street for the game. One woman had big hair and big sunglasses, Stern said, “I don’t even have to ask you!” Turns out she was Italian.

Ray Stern was an Italian who converted to Judiasm before becoming a full-on Sith lord.

R69 millions of people

I was on a NBC studio tour and he was coming into work I was surprised how tall he is 6'7".

R74 He’s not fucking 6’7.

He is with the big hair.

He's no Sue Simmons.

What the FUCK are you saying r77?

He's very beautiful, OP has good taste. And I can see how he could easily be confused for Italian if you didnt know his name

Mutilated, I suppose.

Gary Frank a meteorologist in STL at KSDK. Tall, wholesome guy. My type.

His eyes aren’t dead enough to be a hot Italian guy.

This guy wouldn't be Italian in one hundred million years.
