Sure, but studies have shown Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews have remarkable genetic homogeneity.

Also, PP: I am Jewish, not alt right. I am proud of my Jewish ethnicity and claim it, regardless of the fact that anti-Semites have exploited it to try to exterminate my grandparents and other relatives.

We are strong and proud and reject your attempts to deny our ethnic identity.[/quote]

Its remarkable, I suppose, that they have 60% mideastern ancestry (probably) after 2000 years.  But they are still 40% european ancestry, and anyway, all that is, is a certain degree of genetici homogeneity in a cultural religious group.   It does not make it an "ethnic group". [/quote]

Ok, then bring your case to those who have actually studied this. [/quote]

here ya go

DP... I didn't read the entire study, but this caught my attention:    they studied Central Asia: the Turkic and Indo-Iranian groups.

That area straddles two continents, and with the migration pattern of both Europeans and Asians, it would be harder to find a distinct marker that identifies them as white or asian.  They are going to be a mish/mash of both, and thus have more differences with both groups.[/quote]

Find me a peer reviewed genetic paper that contradicts it.  [/quote]
contradicts what?[/quote]

Contradicts the paper that says ethnicity may not exist genetically speaking?

Are you one of the folks claiming to be ethnically ashkenazi? You realize you are helping to disprove a stereotype?  :roll: [/quote]
nope.[/quote]

Oh goodie, a goyish kopf. [/quote]

While genetics doesn't identify "race", it does identify your ancestry.  Call it ancestry or race, but it defines where your genetics came from, Europe, Asia, Africa...

IMO, "race" doesn't define your intelligence, ability or character, obviously, but for the sake of this discussion, race (or call it ancestry) does exist.

A 60 buck DNA test does NOT identify your ancestry.  It shows how much you have in common with certain groups of test subjects the DNA company used to establish standards for "groups"

So if they got a hundred people from Stockholm and used that to define Swedish, and you are a close match to them, you will show as "swedish"  If you happen to be close to people from say, Malmo, with genes that for some odd historical reasons are rare in Stockholm, you may not show up as "swedish" at all.   By the same token, its even conceivable that a few of the "Swedes" they tested were from Estonia, and you may match with them because your ancestors actually came from Estonia.

It is very inexact, even as far as it goes. [/quote]
