[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^Holocaust was about religion and  creating the master aryan race I meant to say.[/quote]

The Holocaust wasn't about religion at all. It was about finding a scapegoat to the problems Germany was having at the time. Religion had nothing to do with it.  Hitler came up with the notion of a master race and declared the Jews inferior to it and there for needed to be exterminated, like vermin. There is no such as a Jewish "race" Jews can be black white brown whatever--and yes Judaism has ethnicity within it, but it's a religion, people.  Just like Christianity, Muslim, Buddhism...If you think it's a race you need to go back to history class. [/quote]

Ok…so Holocaust wasn’t about religion. Now understood. There is no Jewish “race”, but Hitler thought there was and wanted to destroy it along with other groups he deemed inferior.

Are Jews that physically look white considered white? Are they “generally” ok with being grouped white people?

Not joking (but trying to take some heavy out of this since this is in the entertainment forum) is Jerry Seinfeld ok with being considered white? [/quote]

Jews can be white,black, whatever just like Christians can be white, black, etc. I don't understand how you don't understand this.  Being Jewish is not a race. You can be Jewish AND white. Jewish AND black. Jewish AND Native American. It's not mutually exclusive. You don't put Jewish down as your race on a census. It's a RELIGION that has ethnic and cultural traits. To suggest Judaism is a race gets back to exactly what Hitler was trying to do--assign certain physical traits to Jews to identify their race and separate them from the master race at the time. I'm Jewish and white and I don't know a single Jewish person who looks like me who doesn't identify their race as White/Caucasian.  [/quote]
