Everyone has a right to there owe opion but u shouldn’t judge someone without knowing who they really r and if u bothered to really lesten to her music you would know she is who she is and everthing she believes in, thinking, and feeling its all there in her music she will not change for no one what u see is what u get pink!!!! Out spoken as strong as she is venerable she has strong beliefs she speaks about subjects most ppl would never have the nerve to talk about and sings about things most of us wish we could say to the government and ppl around us and nothing changes her she is who she is and it makes me sick that she doesn’t get the respect or recoginition she deserves I think she is an inspiration to all women young and old that no matter where u come from or what u may have done in your life u have to stay strong and true to yourself change for no one!!!!!!
L.A told you me you’ll be a popstar, all you have to change is everything you are :D
Her mother is Jewish.
Yes.
Jewish can refer to either ethnicity or religion, usually both.
That’s true, but sometimes it gets confusing because there are Iberian Jews, Sephardic Turkish Jews, Ashkenazi Jews, African Jews, and so on.
By traditional Jewish law (Halacha) anyone who is born of a Jewish mother (biological or by conversion)or one who converts to Judaism is Jewish. Jews are Jews no matter what ethnicity – so Pink, Yaphet Kotto, Rashida Jones, and Shia LeBoeuf are all MOT
