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)?

NordishBrother Posted at 2:30 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 I would be offended if I was called anything other than white (which I am). It's disrespectful to my heritage. BleedingSteelWings Posted at 11:28 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Ive been called a Jew, and I was born into a Christian Family... Then again someone was tryin to disparage both me and the religion/race (I know its not a race but the retard is among those that would classify it as) sykexl Posted at 11:17 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Then there is really no reason to be offended although I'm sure some people would still be. Wolferz Posted at 11:16 am on Nov. 19, 2008 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? vampirefreak Posted at 11:14 am on Nov. 19, 2008 well i know that the saxaphone section leader calls black people jews... even to their faces... or so he says... but that's what he calls jews Live Just To Die Posted at 11:14 am on Nov. 19, 2008 I am Jewish and I am from Europe and no one says I look it...

Amelle Posted at 11:11 am on Nov. 19, 2008 I probably would be offended, but only because most of the people I know use 'jew' as a derogatory term. isobel Posted at 11:11 am on Nov. 19, 2008 I wouldn't.
