Yes I’m Jewish, Yes I’m Blonde.

Summer,
Camarillo, CA

I am Ashkenazi Jewish and have always known so, and was raised speaking English and Yiddish. I am fair skinned, blue eyes and blonde hair. People assume because I am what people traditionally think of as “Arian raced” they can make nazi Germany jokes to me and I will tag along. I don’t look what people assume Jewish looks like and so people are surprised and sometimes don’t believe me and ask me to prove I am Jewish. I had a boyfriend once who didn’t know I was Jewish yet and told me that we needed to have children because it was our duty to carry on a traditional, clean, white race, I dumped him promptly after. Looks don’t determine someone’s heritage.
I am a student at Moorpark College, CA.
