[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hitler made a movie explaining the "Jewish look."  I think that says it all when it comes to describing a look as Jewish.  It's out right bigotry.  I don't care if you don't mean anything by it.  If you tell me, " you don't look Jewish," I think that you are an anti Semitic ignoramus.  Period.[/quote]

He was a racist and hated Jews because they were of a different race, a race that he hated partly because of esthetics and partly because of culture. It had nothing to do with religion for him, he was an athiest. That sociopath was evil, we know, but that does not mean that there is no Jewish look. It is real, I just wish that more Jews could be proud of it. [/quote]

There is a gay look, I just wish more fags, er, gay people, could be proud of it.[/quote]

As they should be. 
I am African American and I have heard my share of comments and putdowns about the way AAs look. The response to me is not to say there is no AA look! I spend much of my time trying to get my kids to be proud of their looks and accentuate all of the positives. I have noticed that many white ethnic minorities like Jews, Italians, and Greeks try to blend in rather than confront the issue. Yes, they have larger handsome noses, rich dark hair that is full of body, thick dark eyelashes, and beautiful summer tans!
I could tell Hitler about what is not so positive about the Aryan look, but I have no desire to sink that low. [/quote]

The problem is that what you wrote above applies to people who aren't Jewish.  I Jewish and am pale as could be with blond hair, blue eyes, a small nose and freckles.  I don't have thick eye lashes.  You have described a stereotype.  [/quote]

I agree! But it is there one has to start,, first make the stereotype a positive. By emphasizing the blond Jews, it is a fall back to an attempt to blend. Most Jews are NOT blond (same with most Northern Europeans). The blond hair came from Northern Europe, not Judea (fact). Larger noses are the stereotype, but so what? It is partly true, the same way AAs have broader noses, fact. 
I could easily pull out Aryan features and make them look bad in any cartoon (like the Nazis did) in an attempt to degrade people, and after some time, it would work. 
I have some white ancestry and my daughter HAD green eyes and my son's hair is very light brown. I would cause harm by suggesting that those features that have to do with white genes are what makes them beautiful. I never tell them that anyone is unattractive, but I will mention that their afros look nice and that it is cute when they are jumping on my bed how the hair bounces. It is all about how you look at it. In the sixties, many AA people were ashamed of their full lips (notice I did not say fat), but now, I am so proud of mine, especially as I age, they make me look young, and I actually want them fuller.
