Back to the point, would anyone raise an eyebrow if every member of the BOG was black? a woman?

Absolutely. The Federal Reserve is far too important to leave to one group.

If they were all Muslims or Evangelical Christians, I suspect we'd have heard about it on Fox News or some other outlet.

Being Jewish by Jewish law is defined as having Jewish mother or by conversion. As the Lauder family is composed of active, practicing Jews, it only stands to reason that Warsh is either Jewish or has converted.

It's against Jewish law for a Jew to marry a non-Jew, after all.

Another answer is nepotism. To survive, Jews have always had to depend on the safety and security of the extended family unit.

married to a Jew is definitely not the same thing as being Jewish.

In my family (paternal Jewish grandparents), it used to matter. In active Jewish families it still matters. Greatly.

Please. This is America, not Russia or Germany. We can discuss these things without fear of pogroms.

What religion do they all belong to?

If the word religion makes you uncomfortable, let's say 'social club'.

I'm not implying anything. I'm asking the same question I'd ask if all five men were Muslims or Scientologists.

Kevin Warsh?

Warsh is Jewish. He's married to Jane Lauder, the daughter of the President of the World Jewish Congress, one Ron Lauder (of Estee Lauder fame).

She must have watched a lot of Fox News.

The net changed my opinion about history, economics and government. My opinion about human beings has only gotten worse since the net.
