OP here. I’m only 50% Ashkenazi. I also have Maltese, Japanese, and Norwegian ancestry. My husband is 3/4ths Ashkenazi and the rest is Irish and British. So you all can shove your “religious nationalism” allegations. I’m simply stating a genetic fact. Ashkenazi Jews are a recognized genetically distinct group. That’s all I’ve been saying. |
What Jews do you know with red hair?! Idiot. |

Ok, to the extent that "races" matter when most people are a mix, just like you Insist all you want. The Jews dont want to be seen as a distinct race -- they're ahead of everyone else. Races don't exist!
|
I simply wanted a portion of my ethnic background acknowledged. But i now see that’s impossible because when i try to acknowledge it, you all call me an alt-right religious nationalist. |
| Maybe it’s a race just like Maltese |
Ethnicity. Are you happy? |
|
Why is it important to you that this is genetic? You know that Jews come in all colors from all over the world. I find the insistence on this Ashkenazi genetic Jewish identity is some kind of twisted Jewish racial purity.

Jeez. You all really don’t get it. I just want this part of my ethnic background acknowledged. The fact that you are all hating on it so much proves my point. You refuse to let me say this is part of my genetic background. It doesn’t mean someone who isn’t Ashkenazi is less Jewish; it simply means there is a genetic ethnic group that is Jewish. Why is that so hard for you all to accept? It’s people like you who made me feel I had to fight for this acknowledgement. You all want to claim this ethnicity is fake, or caring about it is indicative of a belief in some sort of racial purity. It’s really offensive. |

Since you all clearly think I’m some Jewish racial purity psycho, maybe you’ll respond better to someone else:

| OP is kind of unhinged. |
Well, I’ve been called an alt-right religious nationalist for discussing part of my ethnic background. I think that’s reason to get a little defensive. |
OP I am Jewish, proud of it, and I think you're a wackadoodle and not very bright. |
To clarify, I am not the OP, I was addressing the OP. Be proud of who you are but try to think in shades of gray. You have no flexibility in your thinking at all, and that makes you sound....ignorant. |
