>Milana Vayntrub was born on March 8, 1987, to a secular Jewish family in Tashkent, Uzbek SSR (today Uzbekistan). Her grandparents were from what later became Ukraine. When she was two years old, she and her parents immigrated to the United States as refugees from antisemitism, settling in West Hollywood, California.

Let me help you improve your Jewdar:
Vayntrub = yiddish/slavic spelling of Weintraube (German for grape)
Jewish surnames are almost always derived from objects or locations (Berg, Stein, Baum, etc.), whereas German surnames are usually derived from occupations (Müller, Schneider, Fischer, Weber, Schmidt).
Berg = Mountain
Stein = Stone
Baum = Tree
Müller = Miller
Schneider = Tailor
Fischer = Fisherman
Weber = Weaver
Schmidt = Smith
Since Yiddish is derived from German, having a decent knowledge of the language is basically a superpower when it comes to noticing.

Yes, they are basically just speaking a dialect of German but writing it with Hebrew letters
