In that one BBC DNA movie (I forgot it's name....something about Watson and Crick), Jeff Goldblum looked VERY Indian. I guess it was earlier in his career (while he was still younger)......

I had a friend who swore I look like him.

Not a chance. A smart person can spot his semetic features quite easily.

Semitic features are common in some South Asian groups (based on my observation only), although I wouldn't say a "huge snozza" is specifically an Indian feature. embarassedlaugh.gif2


Yes, a lot of them do have big noses, but a lot of them also have finely shaped noses. A better way of saying it would be that a nose of narrow to medium width would be an Indian feature?

I always think Kirstie Alley can pass as an Indian too, no?

jiggyiggy
eww. no, no, and NO.

she looks kinda indian. i heard she is part lebanese.
juwanFromTaiwan
Na, Im not saying always. But I can always spot the difference even if your the lighter complected Indian. I guess I been around alot of South Asians. Im Pacific Islander, Euro, and Asian mixed and for a period of like 5 yrs during college actually hung out in the South Asian community and played myself off as an adopted Desi kid that didnt speak the language. Of course I didnt press it but played on peoples assumptions. Now the more aesthetically inclined would notice my coarsier hair and spot other features that werent on par. I also got Syrian, Turkey and stuff like that. I just think Jeff Goldblum can pass because like somebody said he does have finer features..

If you try to play off as a Desi, you could always pass up as an NE Indian. icon_wink.gif I'm sure the knowledgeable Desis would believe you. cool30.gif

Kirstie Alley looks sort of like a fatter and unattractive version of Sushmita Sen.

But to the general public (the ones who think Indians should look a certain way), I don't think she can pass off as Indian.
juwanFromTaiwan
haha.. I doubt these people or most Indians in general have my South Pacific frizzy-like hair...

oh my God, and Jeff Goldblum looked even more Indian when he was younger in Tenspeed and Brownshoe! It's a kind of Freddy Mercury of Queen sort of thing...then it'll come out that he really wasn't "Freddy Mercury" but Farrokh Bulsara with PARSI parents!!! hehe... Jeff, you're still cute...but hun, if it quacks like a duck and waddles like a duck...you know the rest...love ya, whatever you really are... HE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PARSI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or maybe he's non-parsi Indian/Paki. Sala, teri gaand phattay...and notice how he tries really hard to be jewish and hams it up to be so cultured, avoids eye contact and appears awkward like he's unsure of himself or has something to hide...but yes, he is an actor who loves a challenge and his greatest performance could be that he's a Jew!!! Let's see...what could his name really be? Jamshed Golwalla? hehehehehe... Also, many Jews do look desi, maybe Jews originally come from India and not the other way around. Maybe the Kashmiris, who claim to be Jews, just came back the ancestral motherland! Also, many pathans could pass for Jews and vice versa as well as Persians or parsis. What I don't understand is why people are so uptight about all of this inter-connectedness between people. Maybe JG is half Jewish and half Indian. It would not be the first time that a European Jew married an Indian or Parsi!

Jeff Goldblum looks like Orlando Jones.

Priyanshu Chatterjee has got a solid nose and Mediterranean features, he look fully Europoid and not watered down Arabid.

No he does'nt. Puffy eye sockets and bulging eyes are found in India but its not a Racially Indid trait. So whatever.

STFU you bloody kike. Pathans don't look Jewish what-so-fcukin-ever and NO Kashmiris NEVER claimed to be descendants of Semites. Stop smearing your mud on them.

Lol. So now ur anti-semetic? Guess what chubby I would be damn proud if any indian could look like Natalie Portman.
As for pathans and kashmiris, if only they could be as successful as the Jews as a racial group...instead all they do is war and b!tch. Poor them. At least they can look into a mirror right?

I'm pretty sure that the Jewish people don't distinguish themselves between Semitic and European. So why on earth are u doing the same? I fail to see what's ur agenda.

Jeff, he looks like a classic jewish person but i think there are ethiopian (black) jews and indian jews too aswell as russian ones and others, tunisian syrian european ect. I think he doesnt look indian anyway to he trained eye.

You have this weird inferiority complex and fetish for a western look. And Kashmiri Pandits aren't war mongers. Talktohand.gif
