I have to laugh in a way. Throughout my life, regardless of where I've lived, every single hairdresser asks do I want my hair straightened - curly & frizzy, easily tangled mop that it is hard to manage, the 'typical' Jewish look to some - and the answer every single time is NO. Because I am proud of my Jewish ancestry. I am not like a number of those with their "Jewish" DNA who've commented; people who rather likely know nothing, and don't care to learn anything, about Jewish history, culture, etc. Just because you've Jewish DNA doesn't make you Jewish just as how having Aboriginal DNA doesn't make your Aboriginal, just as having African DNA doesn't make you African. Culture, history, tradtions are or far more important.
