"Jewish hair" "Jewfro" and other related terms are rooted in bigotry. It assumes a stereotype. Even positive stereotypes are stereotypes and should not be encouraged. Stereotypes used by the targeted population are still stereotypes. Everyone should do what they can to stop all forms of stereotyping and bigotry. If we don't stop it, who will?

A proud, Jewish, fair haired, light skinned, curly-haired person. (The only one in my family of five.))
