A lot of the discussion on this thread is making me angry and sick to my stomach. Whoever thinks you can tell a person's religious affiliation by their appearance needs to travel a little bit and meet more people of different affiliations. Having lived in New York and Los Angeles for most of my life, I have friends who are every religion under the sun.

There are plenty of Jewish people who have blonde hair, red hair, brown hair, straight hair, curly hair, blue eyes, green eyes, hazel eyes, etc. Having an Italian last name doesn't mean someone's not jewish either: you get your religion from your mom and your last name from your dad.

I understand that none of you are judging people on here, but just stop and think before you say things, please? If you don't understand why this is important, sit down and talk to someone who was in a concentration camp, if you don't know anyone who has experienced that kind of torture, read a book written by someone who has.

Thanks,

Laura
