For what reasons do some people express shock when they learn that celebrities like Zac Efron and Drake are Jewish?

We discuss the public personas of people like Seth Rogen, Lil Dicky, Ilana Glazer, and Abbi Jacobson. How do they attempt to address antisemitism but sometimes reinforce other things like misogyny? And what important lessons do representations of Jews in the media reveal about antisemitism and racism today?
