You just skipped over the part where you assumed an American Jew was an Israeli, just literally doing the thing I am pointing out that the ignorant often do.
I really don’t know how to better spell this out for you than:
Yes, a good number of Israelis are more pale skinned… but…
There are many, many Israelis, as in, born, raised, in Israel, live in Israel, have Israeli citizenship by birth… who are significantly more tan than what most white people would consider ‘white passing’, as well as having different facial features than is more common is white, European heritage, American Jews.
These amalgamations and averages were all done before AI image gen became a thing. They are the result of mathematical averaging algorithms, not hallucinatory nonsense, and fairly large sample sizes… I think the photos were originally collected and processed between something like 2010 and 2014.
I look fairly close to this ‘white american’ composite.
My grandmother is Italian and Norweigian. Her husband was some kind of mixture of French and German. My dad is thus a mix of those, as am I.
My Jewish cousins come from my aunt, my dad’s sister… but their father was … well, before he died, he referred to his heritage as Yiddish, unfortunately he passed when both I and my cousins were still kids… I think he may have come from a mixture of German, Polish, Russian heritage, I am not 100% sure… his family got the fuck out of Europe before or during WW1, settled in New York.
My cousins are as fair skinned as I am, but have distinctive enough facial features (and a very stereotypically suffixed Jewish family name) that they’ve gotten a good deal of antisemitism in their lives.
Go look at all the Mediterranean or Balkan countries, their composite average representations.
Most Americans I’ve known fairly frequently confuse Greeks with Iraqis, Romanians with Iranians, etc.
This ‘white passing’ shit is rarely more complicated than just skin tone, and many more actual Israelis simply are more tan than many American Jews.
