I don't know what it is about her but she looks incredibly...Jewish to me, which was why I thought she was well-cast for "Transparent." Is it the unkempt eyebrows, black hair and eyes?

shareHe hair is brown, but yes, she does look Jewish.
shareBeing Jewish is just being part of a religion, not a race. You don't see anybody going "so and so looks Catholic, or Christian". You mean to say she looks ethnic,which makes more sense.

Please. She totally looks like a jew.
shareEver heard of the term semitic or semite? Jews are an ethnic group categorized as Semitic, they're ethnically similar to Arabs who are also semitic. Both have similar cultural/religious practices. Heard of the term Hebrews from the bible? Hebrews are the current Jews. Ever heard of the story of Abraham and his sons Ishmael and Isaac, Ishmael is said to be the father of the Arabs while Isaac the father of the Jews. The reason why some Jews in Europe don't look very semitic is because they are mixed with Europeans, the reason why Jews from Russia/Central Asia don't look very semitic is because many of them are converts.
But just because they are semites, it doesn't mean they can't be white or have light hair and eyes without being mixed, many Arabs today are light skinned and can sometimes have light eyes/hair. They are no different from Europeans from the Mediterranean.
An Arab can be anti-Jew but can't be anti-semitic because they themselves are Semites like Jews, they are ethnically related people with different but similar cultures/religion.

Uhm, NO.
Many Arabs are quite anti-Semitic. You are mixing up the notion of the Semite peoples with a term that in the DICTIONARY is defined as "Jew Hatred." Don't believe me? Look up Wilhelm Marr, a German (surprised?) who came up with the term as a polite way for people to say they hated Jews. Nowadays, anti-Semites like to say nonsense like "I'm not anti-Semitic, I'm anti-Zionist" , which is the new polite way of saying they hate the Jewish people.
It's wrong to use Semitic to refer to Jews alone. IMO there are a lot of anti Semitic opinions on people from the Middle East. You probably just want to separate them from Jews so it's more acceptable to be bigoted against them.
Idc either way but be honest about it.
