[quote=Anonymous][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]

Hey, I don’t understand this because I see white people who probably look like you say “I’m not white! I’m Jewish!” WTF.

AND to further my misunderstanding, if all the these white looking Jews ARE white, why do these other white people seem to hate you so much? Is it just because you’re Jewish? And they hate the Jewish religion? That’s dumb. Southern poster here again. So unless you told me you were Jewish, I wouldn’t know you were Jewish. How are people just hating on non announcing white Jewish people? Or is the hate only happening on clearly identifying Jewish people?

Jeff, you know I am a regular poster here, do not delete. I asking these questions to real people because I don’t know the answer. Google has not been my friend with these questions. And I don’t have any Jewish friends. Sorry the circle is small. I haven’t spent a lot of time educating myself on this, but I got time today and want to learn hoping DCUM has some too. [/quote]
