minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·edit-211 months ago"Cohen" is usually a Jewish name. As for why it matters? I have no idea. I also can't find any corroboration on this. My guess is that this is made up and whoever made it up went for Cohen specifically because it's generally a Jewish name.
