Sarah Silverman is the Jewish Princess we wish to see in this world.
This week, while the cast of the new “Wreck-It Ralph” sequel was promoting its upcoming release, Silverman brought up that her character, Princess Vanellope von Schweetz is Jewish.
“I say she is,” Silverman told Yahoo Entertainment. “Nobody has said no. So, yeah.”
When Silverman was building a case, she used an Ashkenazic Jewish stereotype that both Silverman and her character have dark hair.
“She’s feisty, she says what’s on her mind, she’s a little pushy,” Silverman said offering more stereotypes.
“Ralph Breaks the Internet” directors Rich Moore and Phil Johnston, agreed with Silverman confirming that she is, in fact, Jewish.
“I think that very much so,” Moore told Yahoo.
“A Jewish animated princess, absolutely,” agreed Johnston.
This is not the first time Silverman has declared that Vanellope was Jewish. Earlier this year, on International Women’s Day, Silverman went to Twitter to include the newest video game princess into the mix.

Silverman has always been a proud member of the tribe but most recently has been vocal about her faith in Hollywood.
Last week the comedian received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and talked about it on “Real Time With Bill Maher.” She told Maher and the audience, “You know, in a time, Bill, where anti-Semitic crime is up 57 percent since this douchebag has taken office, it is not lost on me that I am very lucky that I get a star and I don’t have to sew it on my clothes.”
Disney has held official coronation ceremonies in the past for Merida from “Brave,” Rapunzel from “Tangled,” and Anna and Elsa from “Frozen.” No word yet if one is planned for Vanellope.
“Ralph Breaks the Internet” hits theaters Nov. 21.
