Go To

Basic Trope: Non-Jewish characters are interested in Jewish characters because they're Jewish.

  • Straight: Martine, a Catholic, is attracted to the Jewish David because she's heard Jewish boys are nice, funny, and intelligent.
  • Exaggerated: Martine only exclusively dates Jewish men, as does every other girl in her church group.
  • Downplayed: Most men who Martine is attracted to are Jewish. There are some who break that trend, however.
  • Justified: Martine lives in a Jewish majority area and there are few Gentile men around, which influences her taste in men.
  • Inverted: David is interested in Martine because she isn't Jewish.
  • Subverted: ???
  • Double Subverted: ???
  • Parodied: Martine had zero interest in David before, but immediately tries to seduce him once she learns he's Jewish.
  • Zig-Zagged: Frank, David, Joshua and Kyle are all Jewish, but Martine only comments positively on Frank's and David's Jewishness.
  • Averted: Religion/ethnicity is not mentioned as a factor in Martine and David's romance.
  • Enforced: ???
  • Lampshaded: "Martine, this is the third Jewish guy you've asked out on a date. Have a type, don't you?"
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: Martine is intrigued by David but doesn't act on it because she doesn't want the drama of an interfaith relationship.
  • Discussed: "You know I hear there's a lot of Gentile women that are into Jewish men."
  • Conversed: "It's kinda funny how they keep on setting Martine up with Jewish guys in this show."
  • Implied: It's not brought attention to by the narrative, but Martine is consistently seen dating exclusively Jewish men and no one else.
  • Played for Drama: Martine and David do start a romance, but Martine fetishizes David's Judaism so much that he feels guilty for giving into her demands.
