[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people don't believe Judaism is a race. [/quote]

So its more complicated -- Ashkenazi and Sephardic are Jewish ethnicities. Technically all Races could be Jewish, but just as someone can be Hispanic and White or Hispanic and Black, so too can you be the Jewish ethnicities.

But to many, Jews aren't White....[/quote]

This sounds like critical race theory [/quote]

I think critical race theory is about the the intersection of race and law and a way of understanding how American racism has shaped public policy. I do have concerns about how CRT would address Jews and other “model minorities” such as Asians. [/quote]

Ironically, sadly, and horribly, it might not matter.  While some of us have been discussing the difficulties that some Americans may have understanding “race” as Nazi’s understood it many decades ago, laws are being passed that will make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for teachers (and textbooks) to address the history of slavery and legal, racial segregation in the US, let alone address how legal barriers based on American legal definitions of “race” impact our lives today — obviously for some of us much more than for others.
