[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are Jewish if your mother is Jewish. Jews are not white. Jews are Jews.[/quote]

Jews are Jews and Jews are Caucasian, i.e., white

Like people who are Christian and English, or Christian and French  are Christian and Caucasian[/quote]

Nope. Ashkenazi Jews you (and many modern progressives) probably would consider white, but Hitler and modern neo-Nazis would not. But Mizrahi Jews, including Ethiopian Jews, you would likely not.

In any case, people who argue this particular point are generally trying to justify something ugly.

I too find the original post to be highly unlikely. The fact that ALL of OP’s ancestors on both sides are Jewish and not a single one of them knows it seems… odd. [/quote]

Not odd for Jews, especially during WWII, to hide their family history.  It was a matter of life or death and if you could hide your ancestry, you did.  I've heard stories of Blond Blue eyed Jews who "passed" as Christian during WWII.  I've also hear of European Jewish men affiliating, if they could, with the US army in Europe, because all American baby boys, irrespective of religion,  were circumcised in the hospital after birth.

Then there's Tom Stoppard, the famous British playwright who didn't find out that he was Jewish until late in life.  He wrote a play about it -Leopoldstadt.[/quote]
