The demographics of the Supreme Court of the United States encompass the gender, ethnicity, and religious, geographic, and economic backgrounds of the 116 people who have been appointed and confirmed as justices to the Supreme Court. Some of these characteristics have been raised as an issue since the court was established in 1789. For its first 180 years, justices were almost always white male Protestants of Anglo or Northwestern European descent.[1] Prior to the 20th century, a few Catholics were appointed, but concerns about diversity on the court were mainly in terms of geographic diversity, to represent all geographic regions of the country, as opposed to ethnic, religious, or gender diversity.[2] The 20th century saw the first appointment of justices who were Jewish (Louis Brandeis, 1916), African-American (Thurgood Marshall, 1967), female (Sandra Day O'Connor, 1981), and Italian-American (Antonin Scalia, 1986)

CNNs Don Lemon wondered if there was any point to Dave Chappelles jokes about anti-semitism when the comedian hosted Saturday Night Live over the weekend. CNN This Morning took time on Monday to discuss Chappelles monologue, where he riffed on the recent anti-Semitism controversies of Kanye West and Kyrie Irving. Chappelle is no stranger to controversy, so his monologue included some edgier comedy as he poked fun at common tropes of anti-Semitism while speaking broadly about cancellation and societys reluctance to broach sensitive topics.

Shallow-fried pancakes of grated or ground potato Potato pancakes are shallow-fried pancakes of grated or ground potato, matzo meal or flour and a binding ingredient such as egg or applesauce, often flavored with grated garlic or onion and seasoning. They may be topped with a variety of condiments, ranging from the savory (such as sour cream or cottage cheese), to the sweet (such as apple sauce or sugar), or they may be served plain. The dish is sometimes made from mashed potatoes to make pancake-shaped croquettes.[1] Some variations are made with sweet potatoes.[2][3] Potato pancakes are associated with various European cuisines, including Irish (as Boxty) German and Austrian (as Kartoffelpuffer, Reibekuchen, Reiberdatschi, Erdpfelpuffer and Erdpfellaibchen), Dutch (as aardappelpannenkoek, reifkoeken, reifjes), Belarusian (as draniki), Bulgarian (as patatnik), Czech (as brambork, cmunda or voouch), Hungarian (as tcsni, lapcsnka and other names), Jewish (as latka, Yiddish: ,[4] Hebrew: levivah, plural levivot), Latvian (as kartupeu pankkas), Lithuanian (as bulviniai blynai), Luxembourg (Gromperekichelcher), Polish (as placki ziemniaczane), Romanian (as tocini or tocinei), Russian (as draniki), Slovak (as zemiakov placky), Ukrainian (as deruny) and any cuisine that has adopted similar dishes.

Largely abandoned theory about Jewish descent The Khazar hypothesis of Ashkenazi ancestry, often called the Khazar myth by its critics,[1]:369[2]:VIII[3] is a largely abandoned historical hypothesis. The hypothesis postulated that Ashkenazi Jews were primarily, or to a large extent, descended from Khazars, a multi-ethnic conglomerate of mostly Turkic peoples who formed a semi-nomadic khanate in and around the northern and central Caucasus and the PonticCaspian steppe. The hypothesis also postulated that after collapse of the Khazar empire, the Khazars fled to Eastern Europe and made up a large part of the Jews there.[4] The hypothesis draws on some medieval sources such as the Khazar Correspondence, according to which at some point in the 8th9th centuries, a small number of Khazars were said by Judah Halevi and Abraham ibn Daud to have converted to Rabbinic Judaism.[5] The scope of the conversion within the Khazar Khanate remains uncertain, but the evidence used to tie the Ashkenazi communities to the Khazars is meager and subject to conflicting interpretations.[6][7][8][9] Genetic studies on Jews have found no substantive evidence of a Khazar origin among Ashkenazi Jews.
