I'm asking this in KiA2 as to avoid the Jewish conspiracies since that isn't what this post is about (and Santa Inc. is obviously KiA-related).
I'm sure most people know the fallout of Santa Inc. and Seth Rogan's tweets about all the white supremacists. This begs the question (for me anyway):
Seth Rogan is a white guy, how the hell is he "Jewish" and not white? If you look up the history of the surname "Rogan", you get this: "[Rogan is of] Irish origin, and is an Anglicised form of the Gaelic name "O'Ruaghagain".
So can any white guy just convert to Judaism and start calling themselves Jewish and they are suddenly not white anymore? The whole "Jewish, not white" thing has never made sense since Judaism is a religion, not a color.
Or am I missing something?
*edit - thanks for all the replies guys, that makes sense.
Jewish people are based off of lineage, so a person with Jewish heritage can convert easily. A person trying to convert without Jewish heritage is usually required to marry into a Jewish family to maintain lineage. So since I have Jewish heritage that is provable I could technically covert and be granted Israeli citizenship since both of my great grandparents on my mothers side were both Russian Jews who converted to Christianity. It’s essentially entirely hereditary, in Rohan’s case he was born and raised Jewish but his surname is different due to maternal marrying outside of Jewish families.
