my hair is so curly and my skin is such a deep olive color, that people often mistake me for bi-racial. Because of this, I have always related very strongly to the black community. When it comes to looks, I feel like an outsider to the white world. However, I am Jewsh and was raised in a Jewish home by two Jewish parents. I tried straightening my hair once with a blow dryer. It looked like dry stiff straw. I decided tight curls were beautiful and went with it. It wasn't a proclamation of my Jewish identity, but simply the most attractive and practicle hair style for me.
