i am an african-american woman and it is comforting to see that jewish-american women also feel the same kind of pressure to "fit in". i have always thought curly hair was so pretty no matter whose head it was growing out of--except, of course, my own. after 25 long years I have opted to end my relationship with chemical relaxers, and letting my natural curls take reign. as a side note, i believe seth rogen is irish or part irish (rogen is an irish surname). reading this article made me think of natalie portman a jewish-american who openly admitted her dislike of her "crazy curly hair" and says she keeps it straightened. i think the only real glimpse she has given of her natural hair (that I know of) was in star wars: attack of the clones. there is a scene early in the film where she is wearing a funky, trophy cup headress and just the front of her unstraightened hair is exposed.
