Wonderful speech by Ms. Secours. :)

As a side note, I happen to see it for the first time today which happens to be exactly one year to the day she actually delivered it. What a nice coincidence.

Thank you Ms. Secours and thanks TEDTalks for posting it.

@Nejiboud i think you misunderstood me when i said "looks jewish". that statement is not be taken literately. it's to say that she has a look that you would find amongst people who call themselves american jews on a higher per capita basis. it wasn't meant to imply that her look is somehow exclusive to american jews or jew in general only.

@FuckUtube2008

I'm not lying, and you sound very ignorant. American Jews are largely descended from Russian/Ukrainian/Polish and other Slavic/Eastern European Jews and hence they may have a certain look. But its not a "Jewish" look, Jews are not a "race". In Israel, half of the Jews are of Middle Eastern/Arabic ancestry, they are from Iraq, Libya, Morocco, Yemen, and Iran, and they look more like the Arabs that surround Israel, than to the Ashkenazi white European Jews.

@Nejiboud are you trying to tell me that the AVERAGE (key word) jew in america looks exactly like the average white non-jew? you gotta be kidding me. sure, there much aesthetic overlap between the two, but the reality is that they're not the same. i wonder why jews constantly feel a need to deny things like this? you do realize that this contributes to the whole idea that jews are evil don't you? i mean why else would they feel a need to constantly lie about silly things like this?

Jews don't have a look, Jews from Russia look like Russians, British Jews look like other Brits, Indian Jews look like Hindus, Yemeni Jews look like Yemeni Arabs, Ethiopian Jews look like other Ethiopians, etc., etc., etc. The "Jewish look" is just a stereotype.
