You Don't Look Jewish

Tuesday, June 30, 2009 / Posted by Ruthie /

The Prof (Professor), my friend, shared this video with me... it is so incredibly powerful... I get it all the time, and it is about time that the myth of perception and stereotypes are dispelled... it is about time for education to triumph over ignorance or worse, mis-education...

While on the one hand, it is weird when people who are not Jews constantly say, "You don't look Jewish", which is the most blatantly racist comment, since what does a Jew look like? The caricature that has been agreed upon by whom? On the other hand, what I find even more saddening is when Jews tell each other this...

Jews are from EVERY "ethnic background" that comprise the human race...

Without further ado... don't miss this profoundly moving video... Vanessa is amazing! Go girl!
