jewish and red hair?

is it common for jewish people to have red hair?

Answer
CAN YOU BELIEVE SOMEONE WROTE THIS "Most of them have black, dark hair. Jew with red hair or even anyone with red hair is just EWW". Grow up, get informed, and stop insulting masses of people in public.

That said...yes there are Jewish people with red hair. Actor/Comedian/Singer/Dancer Danny Kaye was one of these redheads of Jewish descent. Evidently, when Samuel Goldwyn signed him on at this movie studio he made Kaye dye his hair blond because he felt his red hair made him look "too Jewish". Plus, my husband's stepmother and her mother are readhaired Jews.

Why is red hair associated with jewish ancestry in eastern europe?

I always wondered that---the jewish stereotype here in Romania is having red hair.
The only country that i can think of that has lots of (non-jewish) redheads(in eastern europe) is Russia
From what i've red in america it's the oposite:dark hair,dark features.

Answer
I think American Jews are just as likely to have light brown hair and blue eyes. It depends on where their families came from in Europe. If German, many are light.

I'm glad you said red hair in EASTERN EUROPE. Because there's a very high percentage of redheads in Scotland, about 6% of the population, supposedly the highest in the world. But we've all seen pictures of Australian Aborigines with red hair, so what does this mean? That there are redheads EVERYWHERE.
