Do they really say?

And Elaine Benes Hispanic?

My brother dated Carol Liefer at Suny Binghamton-she is Carol Liefer.
And JLD may not know it, but she plays her very Jewish. But her
Father is Jewish French Billionaire Bernard Louis-Dreyfus

I didn't say she was Jewish but that she plays the character
Jewish--same with George

Yes, I agree with you - just added some more information.
Unfortunately, text communication, without "body" and "meta" language
causes some miscommunication.

Actually, Czech. Czech is Czech, and Slovak is Slovak.

Darryl: "So, what are you?"
Elaine: "I'm white."
Darryl: "So, we're just a couple of white people?"

So, they're both white, non-Hispanic.

Carol Leifer, not Liefer. She is now a lesbian - perhaps your brother or
Jerry Seinfeld may have driven her to lesbianism?

What do you mean when you say JLD plays the Elaine character Jewish? What
does that even mean? Examples? And do you actually think you can correlate
this with the fact that JLD's father was Jewish, who left when she was 1?

Her father is not Bernard, but Gerard, and when in the USA, he goes by
William.

I'm not sure what your point is about JLD portraying Elaine "Jewish". I
don't see it.

It helps if you are Jewish and from NY

Half the humor in Seinfeld is NY Jewish humor.Fortunately the other
half is strong enough to carry the show for those who can't understand
the other half

"The Pen" is deeper than it appears Larry David hit it right on the
head

Of course the show uses Jewish humor, but this does not address my specific
question. JLD did not grow up in NYC, but Baltimore (Towson, just like in
one of the episodes) and DC, where I am, where she went to Holton Arms as a
child. She was not raised by her Jewish father, and he was not from NY, but
from France! She grew up in the goyishe life, and married a goyishe guy
Brad Hall. I'm Jewish, my Usenet name is in fact a joke on the Yiddish word
Paskudniak, so I know the show uses NY Jewish humor, but you did not address
specifically how JLD "plays Elaine Jewish", or explain what her father who
she didn't live with beyone age 1 and was from France, has to do with it.

Inquiring minds want to know.

I don't see it at all specifically from JLD, so I disagree.

What does the father she ever saw have to do with it? Why mention him?

Correction: father she hardly ever saw.
