[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are three different aspects of being Jewish. Culture, ethnicity and religion. They don’t necessarily overlap but they definitely exist. You can be a convert, identify as Jewish and be of totally different ancestry. Or you and your family can be Jewish for thousand years and you identify as atheist, [/quote]
Agreed.. but "Jew"  is not a race. Just as there are ethnic Germans, Poles and Dutch, there are ethnic Jews. But as a race, they are all considered white.

So Jews are not a racial group; ethnic, yes, but not racial.[/quote]

Fine then ethnic. Is everyone happy now?[/quote]
Well.. to be fair, the thread topic was wrong, so...

My race is Asian, but my ethnicity is Korean (but my nationality is 100% American ;) ).  If I were to start a topic with a headline that stated "Koreans are a racial group", I'm pretty sure I'd get flamed by Asians and Jews and others saying how stupid I was to say that Korean is a race.[/quote]

There’s little consensus on how race and ethnicity differ.[/quote]
Well, not according to the US Census bureau.  Of course they differ.  [/quote]
