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
3/5

The movie's message is one of inclusion -- that no barrier, including race or income, should get in the way of doing right by others. But there’s a hint of condescension in its approach to the topic. Another lesson: Hard work does pay off.

Role model
2/5

Leigh Anne sets a good example as an affluent socialite who lends a helping hand to a child and doesn’t let go (her entire family is helpful, as are the teachers). Michael is also a lesson in fortitude, rarely giving in to the aggression he must feel from having been neglected as a child. But on the downside, nearly all of the movie's African-American characters are portrayed as either impoverished, drug-addicted, or both, which reinforces certain stereotypes. And some characters freely indulge in racism.

Violence
2/5

A fight in a drug den nearly leads to gunfire. A gun is brandished, and another character alludes to “packing” a weapon. Some jaw-breaking action on the football field. Flashback scenes show children being wrested from their mother without her consent, which is mildly traumatic to watch.

Sex
2/5

A husband and wife lovingly kiss and make out; references to “tapping that.” Some ogling.

Language
2/5

Relatively few uses of words like "ass" (which a woman points out as being inappropriate), "hell," "damn," "tits," and "oh my God."

Consumerism
2/5

BMW logo is visible; one character owns a number of Taco Bell franchises, and that company and other fast-food restaurants are mentioned by name.

Drugs
2/5

Some beer drinking in a social context. One scene has an adult offering a teenager beer; he takes one sip. Drug paraphernalia is clearly visible, and a woman’s drug habit is discussed.
