Well, this is what it says about Anthony Kiedis on his wikipedia page...     Anthony Kiedis was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan on November 1, 1962 to  John Kiedis , a son of  Lithuanian  immigrants, and Margaret Peggy Idema of Greek, Dutch, English, Irish, French, and Mohican Native American ancestry.    Apparantly Anthony Kiedis is the Last of the Mohicans, lol..... But he is definitely not even close to being half injun. I bet it can't possibly be more than 1/16 at tops, I doubt even that much. Sometimes I think he just likes to play it up because he thinks it's cool and exotic to be part redskin, just like Johnny Cash did, even though Cash found out later in life that he didn't even have any indian blood, I bet he felt like a dumbass then :rofl    Hillel Slovak, the original guitarist for the Chili Peppers back in the early and mid 80s WAS a Jew and was even born in the bandit state aka Israel. So I guess that's what the OP was referring to. But he died in 1988 (from a speedball(heroin and cocaine combo) overdose) before the band achieved widespread popularity and success and changed up their style considerably. It was after their Jew guitarist Hillel Slovak died from being a junkie that they actually started making good songs;)
