[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nazis viewed Jews as a race and used racial “purity” tests.  The key point is that the Nazis sought to exterminate the Jewish people.   Her comments were weird and cruel.[/quote]

Made even more “weird” by the history of racial segregation in the US that, no doubt, classified Jews from European backgrounds as “white”,  So we have the Nazi’s view of race, the US view of race and “racial purity tests” that predate the Nazis, and [b]we’re struggling to communicate our concerns[/b] using today’s standards.

Who’s we?  Also, struggling with what concern?[/quote]

Those of us who are trying to use our own categories: such as race, religion, and ethnicity— to describe and discuss concerns related to identify that may not fit neatly, or even at all, into those categories.  [/quote]

How did you respond to the census question regarding your race? [/quote]

I checked Black. Culturally, and legally — in line with America’s historic “one drop” rule.

I have relatives who are Black and Jewish.
