minus-squaregarbology [he/him]hexbear41arrow-down1·4 years ago obvious Jewish surname Is it? Just seems Germanic-ish to me. Had no idea the dude was Jewish. link
minus-squarecoolfuzzylemur [none/use name]hexbear3arrow-down2·edit-24 years agoI'd say it is, yes. In the US, a German sounding last name makes it a pretty safe bet in any case https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/bidens-secretary-of-state-choice-tony-blinken-stands-on-jewish-issues-650067 link
