Does Jennifer Connelly look passable as fully Irish?

[MobyD]

She does not have any visible Ashkenazi traits IMO

[Meerkat]

Yes I think she can.

And she cannot pass for fully Ashkenazi.

Takes after her dad's side for sure.

[Xacal]

She can pass

[jobodwannaa]

Yes but she is more Cromagnid (West Baltid type) than the typical Irishwoman.

[IncelSlayer]

Yes, looks english.

[CommonSense]

Yes

[Zorruko]

I believe that she could pass as a Black Irish woman. Now, I think that the correct question would be: Who can not pass as a Jew?

To this day, sources as Wikipedia make everybody Jew (Jennifer Connelly is Jew by some sources because of her mother). So we have Jews with Nordic, French and English (and many other) surnames that is really impossible to determine if the person is Really a Jew. What is really a Jew in our modern context? A nationality? An ethnic group? A People? A bunch of people who tries to take over the world? A religious group? You name it. Does Melanie Laurent or Nicholas Sarkozy are really Jews? I'm not sure what is a Jew anymore...

[Kivan]

I think so.

She is Jewish according to halachah (Jewish law), but that doesn't mean she passes for fully Ashkenazi. Yes, anyone could pass for someone who is Jewish according to Jewish law, but not everyone passes for ethnically Jewish (meaning Ashkenazi, Sephardi or Mizrahi).

According to halachah, someone is Jewish if their mother is Jewish or if they're a convert. Jennifer Connelly is Jewish but not fully ethnically Jewish and cannot pass for one, same way Gigi Hadid cannot pass for fully Palestinian.

[♥ Lily ♥]

I would've guessed her as being an American rather than Irish as she's got a new world nation look about her. (Maybe it's due to the orangey fake tan, strong make-up, and the fake-looking teeth, etc, as that type of aesthetic is popular in places like Hollywood.) I think Irish people have a softer and more natural look. I don't know what part of Ireland she was raised in, but her accent would show where she's from.

Yes, I fully agree with you. Also I know about the Jew Law that emphasizes that jewishness is pass through the mother line. The thing is that Jews are over-represented in media, and Jews control major movie studios. So if you argue that you are Jew, I guess you would have more chances of making it big in Hollywood, even if you don't know what a Menorah is...

I agree. She gives strong American vibes and has an ''upper class'' New Yorker phenotype.

[Richmondbread]

Looks Dark Irish.

[MobyD]

She is all-American, although her paternal side is mostly Irish

[Blinddignity]

Yes

[Nakama]

Nah she’s from the U.S., although her paternal side is mostly Irish

And? I said exactly that, she looks more American than Irish. I know it's subjective but some persons have very strong local vibes, I can't explain exactly but I've seen many people from upper class NY, Boston, Vermont and the Northeastern Coast of US with similar phenotypes.

I guess phenotypical variation isn't explained only by genetic ancestry, but also for group selection affected by the enviroment and culture. I've seen some Brazilians who score 100% Portuguese who still look ''Brazilian'' rather than Portuguese to me.

[MobyD]

Looks Dark Irish.

Yes, she is a textbook example of Dark Irish

[MobyD]

bump

[Streuner]

Yes, she can

[Roy]

Yes?

[Aiwado]

Northwest European.

[Latinus]

To normal people: yes.
To anthrotards: not.

[Roy]

To normal people: yes.
To anthrotards: not.

Well said. :biggrin:

[nittionia]

of course she can

[Finnish Swede]

Irish can not tan? ''Sure''...

[Sundance]

Yes.

[The Blade]

Yes, she could fit as fully Irish.

[Latinus]

Irish can not tan? ''Sure''...

What are you talking about???

[Finnish Swede]

What are you talking about???

Just pissed off via some other threads. Nothing new under the Sun. LOL.

[Aiwado]

nevermind...

Those makeup trends that you've mentioned are immensly popular in the British Isles unfortunately..
She indeed passes in Ireland

[Grace O'Malley]

Yes she can definitely pass as full Irish. There are Irish women with a very similar look to Jennifer.

[Richmondbread]

Looks Dark Irish but could pass as I-talian.

[MobyD]

Looks Dark Irish but could pass as I-talian.

In that case, she could pass in France too.

[Richmondbread]

She has some Jew in her..

[Negah]

She is beautiful

[Zroota]

How should Ashkenazi Jews look like? Big nosed and horse faced, like in the stereotype books? Come now, they all pretty much vary. Jason Statham and Daniel Radcliffe look like typical Englishmen and they're Ashkenazi. She easily fits as an AJ.

But I'd say she looks somewhere between French, Italian and Spanish. My first impression of her will not be Celtic. But that's just my notion.

Her nose was more stereotypical when she was younger.

Props for her being in films by Sergio Leone and Dario Argento when she was 14.

[Lousianaboy]

she is beautiful, and she has my same eyeshape and head shape

[BakersfieldChimp]

Of course, there is THAT film of hers. One of those great films that I rarely recommend. She has really had the chance to be in some very amazing movies.

Jason Statham is Ashkenazi? How so?

[Henri729]

yes

[Richmondbread]

Untalented slut.

[Jana]

Interesting how many people see similarities between her and me, and somebody told me that again few days ago. I personally don't see it.

[Faklon]

I guess, probably passable as Slovenian too if you think about it!

[Tauromachos]

She looks more Portugese to me

I get a Nelly Furtado vibe

[MobyD]

Untalented slut.

Ok fatty

[MobyD]

She looks more Portugese to me

I get a Nelly Furtado vibe

She can pass in both countries.

[MobyD]

As a blonde, she looks even more Irish for some reason
