This is the most reliable data source for accurate ethnic breakdowns of famous people. Often the information is crowdsourced by users and they cite all their sources (family trees, obituaries, census archives, etc.) on the bottom of the page. The only issue is converting their ambiguous and inconsistent verdicts into quantifiable variables.

Notes
If there were any inconsistencies with percentages calculated using our Census data, the Jewish Data Bank percentages were the ones used. Also please review the Jewish Data Bank pdf to understand the difference between the "Core" Jewish population and the "Extended" / "Law of Return" Jewish populations. We are displaying the "Core" Jewish populations since that is what the Jewish Data Bank and Wikipedia articles chose.

Also, the 1942 population estimates were used for the 1940 row. For the 2000 estimates, the "Core" definition was not used, so we used the 5.2 mil broader estimate instead of the 4.3 mil estimate since the 5.2 broader estimate seemed too drastic of a drop and the definitions weren't congruent with Core and Law of Return.

Message
4/5

Promotes unconditional familial love, despite difficulties and perseverance required. Underlines core belief that kids coming from extremely difficult circumstances are still kids who deserve love and a chance to flourish. Some characters' motivations for fostering/adopting aren't as genuine/realistic as others, which is played for laughs in the film.

Role model
3/5

Strongly positive representations in main couple, who undertake challenge of fostering three siblings, including a rebellious teen. They're far from perfect but clearly capable of empathy and deep, selfless love. The kids struggle a lot and have behavioral issues, but they're ultimately reached by that love. Case workers are in it for the right reasons, and other foster parents are committed, caring. No prominent/specific "bad guys." A birth mother struggles with her addictions, a would-be foster mom might not be in it for the right reasons (played for laughs). Occasional intolerance from family members. A pedophile is dealt with appropriately.

Violence
2/5

One kid is an accident magnet: He gets hit in the face with a ball, drawing blood, even accidentally drives a nail into his own foot. Parents beat up a young man who's preying on a much younger girl; although the violence includes punching his face and kicking his crotch, it's played for laughs.

Sex
2/5

One young girl falls prey to an older (though still young) man and is caught sexting/trying to take nude selfies for him. They're not shown -- nor is the nude photo he sends her -- but they're discussed.

Language
3/5

Occasional strong language includes rare use of "f--k," "bitch," "p---y" (as in the Russian band P---y Riot), "s--t," "a--hole," "d--k," "goddamn," "hell," "crap," "knob," "jackass," "pissed," "oh my God," anti-Mexican slurs, and a few others. In several cases, the impact of the language is shown.

Consumerism
0/5

Barbie is mentioned as something the youngest child wants, but the brand isn't shown or promoted.

Drugs
2/5

Some drinking, as when the exasperated mother unlocks the liquor cabinet and helps herself to some wine (not to excess). Verbal references to a birth mother's drug problem and to another foster child's struggle with addiction.
