[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For any marginalized/targeted group--Jews, Latinos, black people--saying one "looks ____" can be seen as an insult. It's an awkward thing to say unless you're talking to other members of that group. [/quote] I think because Jews have had so much economic power they don’t feel marginalized. [/quote] PP here, I don't think it's about economic power in this case. We live in a society where western European appearance and features are seen as the ideal. In this context, pointing out the specific "looks" of other groups is sort of not kosher (heh). Imagine the comment got more specific, as in "Yes, Larla looks very (Jewish, black, etc.), you can tell by her nose." Awkward, right?[/quote]
