Do I look Jewish?

Actually....

wide face, wide mouth, coloration..

You could be this girl's cousin!

That's the longtime leading pop singer of Israel: the late Ofra Haza.

Based on her, yeah, you DO look Jewish!

No you don't look Jewish

I have nothing against the Jews. They are God's chosen people. But I definitely look very white and European. Not Jewish. When I think of looking Jewish, I think of you know, Jerry Seinfeld, etc. Jews seem to have a vaguely Middle Eastern appearance with fairer skin because of European admixture. People who say its just a religion are incorrect. There are DNA tests even. Okay, so I admit, in my DNA test it says I am 4% Jewish, which is a shock to me, and only 1% Native American. So that is why I ask...

You look like a big fat yank in that picture.

I'm not a Yank, I'm from Virginia.

You're American, you're a Yank to people from outside America.

I'm Jewish....but I really don't "look" Jewish.

I hope you don't have a problem with "looking Jewish." I don't particularly care for anti-Semites. They piss me off.

Not saying you are one.

I'm mostly Italian and people tell me that I don't look Italian. I don't have to look like a stereotype of my heritage to be Italian. People who say I don't go by the whole tan skin, brown eyes and super dark hair thing.



That's me in that picture.

People don't have to look stereotypically Jewish to be Jewish.

You look Anglo-Saxon with a hint of Native American.

My mother has a Sephardic bloodline but I don't look stereotypically "Jewish". Not many Jews look like the stereotype, especially not those mixed with Anglo-Saxon or Celtic.

That guy looks more Quaife to me.

What nationality do I look?

You don't seem Jewish to me. I can't tell if someone's Jewish just by looking at them.

Probably because most people don't think of Italians as being as fair skinned. I know a lady of Italian heritage that is a great deal older, but you look kind of like a younger version of she. I wouldn't say its immediately identical as "Italian". But it has something vaguely of that heritage . There is no exact phenotype and most people have admixture.The northern Italians especially are usually very fair, with blonde hair often and lighter eyes. More olive skin is usually what people think of when they think of Italians. That is usually in Southern Italy and Sicily.

Chaplin was Jewish.
