Dr. Cristina Yang on Grey's Anatomy is played by a Korean actress. Did she say that she was Jewish on the season premere yesterday or did I take a statement out of context. I'm Jewish and have never heard of a Korean Jew.

No, she had told Burke last season she was Jewish when he was setting up a Christmas tree. I wrote on an earlier question that I thought it was funny to make her Jewish (her Korean mom married a Jewish guy) -- it reminds me of Juan Epstein in Welcome Back Kotter, the Puerto Rican Jew.
I think the writers were able to take that one little, understated fact about Christina and use it to comfort Izzie last night -- at least Izzie seemed comforted by the idea of sitting shiva for Denny. It's especially nice because Christina isn't able to comfort people often.

Her Beverly Hills step father is Jewish. She revealed that about herself on the episode where her mother comes to visit her at the hospital after she loses the baby.

Well, if you took it out of context so did I because I believe that is what she said. However she appears to be a non-practicing Jew?

So your the authority on everything Jewish? Or things just don't exist unless you've heard of them.. And she's AMERICAN. So she can be any religion she chooses. Wake up out of your tiny bubble.

She talked about it a little last night. I think she is.
