[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a space for "Jew" when identifying race?  I have never seen it on an employment app.[/quote]

No. But applications don’t list every race or ethnicity, so that’s not a good metric.[/quote]
Most of the apps don't go by ethnicity (that would indeed be too many), but they do list every race. Perhaps they don't list "jews" because the US government has deemed it not a race?

Is Middle Eastern a race?  If you are from Syria, what "race" would you or the US government define you as?[/quote]

Technically certain sunsets of the broader Jewish populations are ethnicities, not races.

Frankly, as an Ashkenazi Jew, I wouldn’t want to feel pressure to identify myself on an employment application because I’d fear discrimination. [/quote]

What career field do you work in where you'd fear discrimination against you because you're Jewish? That's never even crossed my mind as a concern (I've worked in journalism on the East Coast for 20 years).[/quote]
