[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These posts show an unintentional and unconscious bias.

Carrie Bradshaw is extremely pretty in Jewish cultures.  She has a very distinguishable Jewish look -- the big nose, the face shape, the shorter stature (petite).

As an example, maybe many people don't find Will Smith attractive but he is very attractive.  He just has a specific black look to him such as his wider nose.

Or maybe people don't find Lucy Liu attractive but she has specific Asian look such as smaller eyes.

I'm okay with anyone finding SJP (or WS or LL) ugly but I am just pointing out that in Ashkenazi Jewish circles, she is drop-dead gorgeous where there is a completely different standard of beauty so it's not surprising to me at all that her husband, who is Jewish, found her irresistibly beautiful.  And I think anyone who is Jewish can see that she is incredibly good looking -- because that's familiar and attractive.  And anyone who hasn't grown up around a lot of Jews may find that look to be less attractive.  Also, of note, anti-Semitism is at an all time high so there may just be a lot more unconscious bias against that particular look right now.

I think Angelina Jolie just has a very French look -- actually so does Gal Gadot (who happens to be Jewish but just doesn't have a specific Ashkenazi Jewish look) - both tall, thin, dark hair, smaller noses, etc).  So if that is the standard of beauty, then SJP, WS, and LL won't look like them.[/quote]

I am an Ashkenazi Jew, and I am very amused by this.  I don't thunk SJP is ugly, but in my Ashkenazi Jewish circles she wouldn't be considered drop-dead gorgeous.   That distinction would go to someone looking like Amy Irving.[/quote]

PP, you do know that Any Irving is now in her late 60s, right?[/quote]

Yes, and still looking fantastic.

But her looks circa 1970-80s were the first thing that came to mind when I thought of drop-dead gorgeous and Jewish.  There are many beautiful  actresses who are Jewish, but their beauty is more of a mainstream kind.[/quote]
Personally I think equating general beauty or ugliness of a population with their ethnicity is straight up wrong. But if we're going to play that game SJP is only half Jewish and looks like her English and German heritage mom. [img]https://starschanges.com/sarah-jessica-parker-family/[/img][/quote][/quote]
