Red hair stereotype

IMO the claim of red hair being stereotype of Jews in Eastern Europe and Russia in modern days is dubious. What exactly the source sited say? Any other independent confirmations? Staszek Lem (talk) 18:11, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi Staszek Lem. You can read the source for yourself here. I don't believe it says what the Misplaced Pages article cited it for—that red hair as a stereotypical negative trait of Jews remains in parts of Eastern Europe and Russia, but not in the US or Western Europe—so I removed it. — Malik Shabazz /_Stalk 02:14, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Thx. Staszek Lem (talk) 16:45, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

POV Tag

This article takes the position that the "stereotypes" are uniformly false and that they are perpetuated through anti-Semitism. It acknowledges, however, that the stereotypes have existed for centuries. If the stereotypes have no basis in truth, how is it that the Jews have not been able to shake them, despite hundreds of years of opportunity in which to do so?John Paul Parks (talk) 04:11, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

Article is limited to US POV

The article should be rewritten with more research put into it.

Currently it writes of certain stereotypes as if they originate from US diaspora (as if written by person best familiar with US part of subject),

however the very same stereotypes (Jewish Mother, Nice Jewish Boy, Jewish lawyer) were and are present in Eastern Europe (particularly they were present in communist occupied Poland, USSR which were way behind the iron curtain to get the stereotype from the US).

Obviously some of the stereotypes have deeper roots and didn't originate in US. More research is required. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.121.0.11 (talk) 03:22, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
