Exactly! It's so sad that although she's Jewish herself she's actually helping to spread misconceptions. We don't all look the same fyi!Originally posted by MurakamiPrincess@Mar 14th, 2004 - 7:05 am
no one is a natural blonde....
I am! I was born with really light blonde hair, and as I got older, it's now more like a strawberry blonde
Hmm...Does anyone else find this offensive?
I'm speaking as a straight-haired, redheaded Jewish girl, of course...
I find it highly offensive. I am a straight haired blond Jewish girl, but still. Can't it just be a fro? Does it have to be called a Jewfro? Please!
As I understand, it's a common term in NY and carries no pejorative energy there. The term was coined by Jewish women. I can understand that others who are new to it might be struck negatively by it.Originally posted by purplelucrezia@Mar 13th, 2004 - 5:35 pm
"I have always found it morally wrong; shouldn't you stick with what God gave you, refuse to deny your ethnic heritage by pretending to be something you're not? New York is full of curly-haired brunette Jewish girls who've reinvented themselves as poker-straight blond streaky preppies. And yet ... I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror: this morning's greasy application of Secret Agent Flawless Finishing Crème is struggling hopelessly against my tendency to pouf up into a, well, a Jewfro."
I am really not liking that term...
