It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

There’s definitely a stereotypical Jewish appearance. Most Jews in America are ashkenazi, which means they descend from central and Eastern Europe as opposed to Sephardic Jews, who descend from the Iberian peninsula and the Middle East.
Some examples of people who look like Jewish stereotypes:
Nick Kroll
Andy Samberg
Jenny Slate
Ilana Glazer
We share a lot of features with Italians, so there are a lot of people who are assumed to be Jewish but aren’t like Jason Biggs. If you’re in Long Island, you’re going to see a lot of both.
Hope this didn’t come off too race sciencey, I’m also mostly stereotypically Jewish looking. It feels like part of Jewish American culture is being excited when other people are Jewish and surprised when someone looks Jewish but isn’t.
I'm not even Southern European in the least and I get Chabad guys asking me if I'm Jewish all the time
I get that too; I assume it’s the combination of Eastern European and British ancestry and curly hair that makes me look like I just might be Jewish
Let me clarify, I didn’t mean that all Italians look Jewish. Just that when someone looks Jewish, but isn’t, they’re usually Italian.
Michael Imperioli and Lady Gaga are some other examples.
