      Especially since many Jewish ppl have curly, thick hair themselves (Howard Stern). I think his nose and lips are the blacker traits (not everybody notices). It's what makes people like Mariah Carey obviously lightly mixed with black. It's especially noticeable on light skin because the combination isn't common. His wavy hair only added to Jerry's instant suspicion. An example of someone who is mixed with black, but you can't even really tell is Halsey. She looks straight up whte brunette to me. And also Wentworth Miller.

In Seinfeld, they had Jean Paul Jean Paul for Elaine. But in both cases that was pretty late in the show, they did it because of some remarks from the public and/or the network.

      It's funny how white people are usually a conglomerate of many European descendants. Colloquially called "white" because of their skin color. And heres a literal white guy with ambiguous features and the cast of Seinfeld is trying to decide if he's black. It's like if u saw a white person and tried to determine if they were Jewish due to their features. I always believed Elaine never had a successful relationship because she was more for preserving the intimacy between her and her guy friends vs growing the intimacy of her and any guy she was seeing. Which is why it's a show about dumb people lol
