Waititi describes himself as a "Polynesian Jew". He was raised more connected to his Māori roots, in a household where Judaism was not "actively practis[ed]" and identifies as an atheist who "puts more stock in Indigenous beliefs."
Apparently he is a 'convenient' Jew, he brings it up whenever he needs the victim points but doesn't actually give a shit about the religion.
I have a feeling he converted to Judaism late in life and wasn't a Jew from childhood, anyone know if that is the case?
I'm pretty sure Taika David Cohen has always been that way.

Judaism is not just a religion...
Nah "atheist jews" still follow the religion mainly the part about believing that "they are chosen people that deserve the rule over the goy"
His mother is a Cohen.
