When casting a character, physical appearance is obviously what you focus on. In the show, Kurt is athiest. Would you be furious if Chris Colfer was actually a Christian? No, because acting is acting. Someone who is less culturally Jewish can still play one on TV; she's acting. And yes, Dianna Agron was raised in a more Jewish household, but she also got a nose job, which kind of exemplifies the whole point. I don't think you can be such a great representation of your heritage if you change yourself to hide it.<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"/><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"/><div id="refHTML"></div>
