this is honestly so endearing
war never changes
this is going to sound like the most stupid "problem" in the world but I just gotta vent
being a jew who "looks white" is a fucking weird experience. when I was a child I had grown adults tell me that I was "lucky [I] won't need a nose job" or something like that. I have goyim straight up tell me that I'm not actually jewish cause I "don't look jewish", ask me if hitler would've spared me cause I have blonde hair and blue eyes, start doing race science on me, etc.
goyim also fucking LOVE to look at my appearance and say "well just don't say you're a jew and you won't experience antisemitism stop complaining" and it's like...no? my curly hair gets me plenty of micro aggressions. I have to code switch at work and with certain people to avoid using yiddish. and even beyond that, white supremacists get SO comfortable around you that you are subjected to antisemitism even if it isn't directed at you
and so so often my appearance is used by antisemites as a cudgel against other jews, like because I have blonde hair and blue eyes that means all jews are white. and I hate it. so much. i wish I could feel jewish enough with my blonde curls and dark blue eyes. I wish my existence wasn't a controversy.
honestly at this point I feel like my identity as a jew comes before almost any other identity because it's one of the most impactful in my life (behind my autism). like "jew" is its own identity that you can't put into a box.
idk man I just needed to get this off my chest
