"Councilman Eric Garcetti, of Jewish and Latino heritage" is the best surmise I've heard. Others state he has "Jewish and Latino ancestry." But let's be plain, he's Jewish (his mother is) and he's Hispanic and Italian. Being less than literal, especially with Jews makes it seem like he might not be Jewish enough for some.
