[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Whoopigate is highlighting a number of tensions in our current divisive time where many people feel like certain groups/issues must compete for “who has it the worst.”

We’re getting bogged down in purist definitions of race precisely because some don’t want to equate antisemitism with racism…as if one is worse than the other.

Guess what? They are both equally bad.

Saying Judaism is just a religion like Catholicism, etc. really misses the mark. Most Jews are born into not only the faith, but a Jewish culture that includes a language, foods, and a way of life. Muslims should understand.

While anyone can convert, that’s not the same as being born into a Jewish family.

Nah, there are a lot of people who found out they had some Ashkenazi genes through DNA, but they aren't Jewish. In fact, there are  Jews who practice Judaism, have done so for generations,  but the lineage is not maternal, thus,according to Jewish law, are not Jews, which according  to your definition makes no sense  at all. Enough. You cannot describe a Jew genetically any more- and that  goes  for any celebrity with a dumb idea...like the recent outcry at Katherine Hahn playing a Jewish woman. So dumb to have a problem with that. Judaism isn't racial.

Hitler wanted to create a master race. Jews aren't a race,  but he didn't want them in. He didn't want  Romas, blacks, disabled people ,homosexuals, albinos...the list goes on.

Here is a great summary of the concept. Best I've seen so far:
