[quote=Anonymous]NP here. Maybe I can help clarify: Jews are both a religion and an ethnic group. When I introduce friends who are Indian or Greek, they often have a bond even when first meeting, just because they come from similar upbringings and culture, even if they were raised in America. I don't know why people feel that this same fact among Jews is something to criticize.

I think it's a blessing that our culture brings us strength. I am a religious Jew who isn't particularly "culturally Jewish" but I dont have any hatred for those who are, and I'm glad it brings them pride for their heritage.

Rude people are obviously unfortunate, but I'm not sure anyone expects inclusiveness our of sorority sisters!  Please stop and reflect on why Jewish cohesion bothers you so much and why you can't accept that our history and culture has made us a strong ethnic group along with our religion (and despite the fact that we don't all look ethnically similar) and that that's a good and important thing for us.
