[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.[/quote]

What? Who do you want acknowledgment from??? This is confusing to me. I wasn’t aware that Ashkenazi Jewish people were lacking in being acknowledged as Jewish. meanwhile, Jews of Color are constantly fighting for acknowledgement and recognition that they are as “Jewish” as Jews descended from Europe.

I am truly confused by who your audience is.

My audience is everyone here who says recognizing that there is a genetic ethnic group that is Jewish is indicative of a desire for racial purity.

This thread proves why this is necessary. So many people think there is no ethnic component to being Jewish. There are religious, cultural, and ethnic components. Of course you can be a religious Jew from any ethnic background, but people want to deny the existence of a Jewish ethnic group.

As a descendant of people who were exterminated, I would like to be able to acknowledge my ethnic background without being called names.[/quote]
