As expected the Ashkenazi Jews look European for the most part . Makes me wonder are some of them larping onto a Jewish bandwagon .

The OP cherry-picked, for unknown reasons, his Ashkenazi exemplars, to include all Euro-looking blondes, lol. I and anyone I know, with rare exceptions, don't look like what was posted. gal-gadot-joss-whedon-1200.jpgThese people are a clear minority in any AJ population without modern Euro admix. Gal Gadot's looks are far more typical for Ashkenazi Jews with two Jewish parents.

I feel like I need to explain the choices that I've made in this theard, and from seeing some coments I can understand why some of you might be triggered.

First, yes there are many ashkenazim that have a levantine look and I can post here plenty of them but most of them are ashkenazim that their ancestors are from more then just one country so they dont fit the purpose of this theard. And I dont know, I make an assumption here but maybe when you are mixed ashkenazi from several countries it makes your levantine features more obvioues?

Second, while with Sephardim and Mizrahim you don't even need to ask where their ancestors came from, with ashkenazim its much more difficult because if you will ask them what is their background they will just say they are ashkenazi and won't talk about the country or countries their ancestors came from because they feel its irelevant and they dont feel connected to this countries and their traditions in any way.

Third, we are talking about famous people so I guess there might be some beauty standards so its for sure not a representative sample but I would love that if you have better examples you will share it here. I will try to find more diversed examples for the ashkenazim in the next backgrounds I will post.
