Is it offensive if someone says you look Jewish?

[Anonymous]

I posted a picture earlier on howdoilook, asking what ethnicity "do I look like" and someone said, I look Jewish. Now I've heard of people looking Mediterranean, or Middle Eastern, but I've never heard of such a thing like "looking Jewish".

They probably meant that I look like one of these caricatures of Jewish people that you saw in newspapers many years ago or that I have ugly features (such as a prominent nose), right? Although I don't have a big nose at all, I don't get how that moron said that 😡

Yes it is very much offensive.

if you travel around the UK, Europe and Middle East, you see a huge range of ethnic mixes, which blend in to each other.

i have a friend (used to date her) she’s Iranian, she was often labelled Jewish when we were out or travelling around.

in the UK the left (mainly far left) are hugely anti semitic, this resulted in a lot of anti Jewish stories from labour MP’s.

it’s just pathetic when people go down this route of saying someone looks a certain way.

It's impossible to say what someone who is Jewish should look like:

Sone might get offended but fuck them. They need to stop being such pussies and crybabies and stop getting offended by everything. Say whatever the fuck you want. Don't worry about some snowflake with brittle feelings get their feelings hurt

No... and many Jewish girls like Mila Kunis or Gal Gadot are beautiful

[ragooo8]

Natalie portman, scarlet johansen, kat dennings, isla Fisher, Eva Green, Rachel bilson...

[Aurora1010]

@ragooo8 Yeah, exactly.

[CrazyGirl2]

Actually, yes! What exactly does a Jew look like? I’m Jewish, and if anything, the insult men most often toss at me when I politely decline a drink is, WASP Bitch!

[ChrisMaster69]

@CrazyGirl2 exactly

[CrazyGirl2]

@ChrisMaster69 Right? 🤷🏼

It wouldn't bother me one bit since I have one Jewish parent, but most people don't seem to pick up on my Jewish ancestry.

[JustiReno]

Sounds so weird I can usually tell but not always for sure

[ragooo8]

Half of Hollywood actresses are Jewish. Think of an actress that's hot, she probably Jewish...

[JustiReno]

Jewish women are no joke

[Waldoe]

because... Morons don't need a reason, and who cares what he thinks, since NO-ONE else said it... Mary, mother of Jesus, was Jewish, and beautiful...

[jasco]

Not sure what a jewish person even looks like so I wouldn't be sure

[JustiReno]

Jewish people can tan and some have curly hair iono but some people it’s super obvious like Jon Stewart some people I would never guess but that’s how my eye has been trained

[jasco]

@JustiReno oh ok

[Zolly99999]

It means nothing.. I wouldn't put too much thought into it.

[TrueConfection]

There's nothing offensive about that at all.

[MrtoddsWildRide]

I mean I am part Jewish, so no

[ihatemylife123]

yeah it means you have a big nose

[Iron_Man]

Depends how you take it

[andreasderjuengere]

Yeah - the nose :D

[888theGreat]

[Anonymous]

Nope, I am Jewish.
