If you are Jewish or your family is Jewish, would you find it offensive if someone (a friend or not) told you "You look like you're a Jew...are you?"

Is it too sterotypically?  Even if someone said you looked like you were from Eastern Europe,etc.?  Even if ANOTHER Jewish person told that that (or something closely knit with the Jewish community)?

Black curly hair, nasally voice, big nose, lots of complaining.

Those are the stereotypical attributes of jews

I would probably say "And you look like an idiot....are you?"

Seriously though, nope, it wouldn't offend me if it was an honest question and he/she wasn't trying to offend me by it.

I probably would be offended, but only because most of the people I know use 'jew' as a derogatory term.

Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.

Thanks for the honest answers.....

Saying that the person was NOT trying to be rude or use the term Jew in a bad way...say that person legitamately was interested in learning people's ethnicity...

Like if they said "Oh you look so much like my friend who is Jewish, you're so close in resemblance."

I am not saying that 'features' will characterize people as Jewish...let's just say you have dark features, like dark hair, dark eyes, curly hair (fro-like)...eastern european looking?
