FYI in Eastern European nomenclature the “-sky/-ski” suffix implies Jewish heritage much like the “-berg” suffix would for Germanic descendants.
I’m not trying to necessarily imply anything here I just figure not many Americans are aware of that based on my personal experience. South Park got it right with Kyle Broflofski but many other facets of American media with lazy writers (a lot) do not.
Edit: It actually denotes Polish heritage, see my comment below. Just lots of Polish immigrants during a huge wave before/during WW2 were Jewish hence the confusion I guess I was taught wrong

41 years old and this is news to me, and I consider myself a teeny bit more informed about things like this than the average American.
