You can convert to Judaism only if you have a proven track record of serving ethnic Jews. Otherwise, you won't be accepted. It's "honorary Aryan" status but for Jews. Nice try.
Nice try.
It's up to the Rabbis, and they aren't going to accept anyone people without that track record.
So no evidence.
Did you know all nazis were gay?
I have as much evidence for that claim as you have for yours.
It's funny you bring up Nazis because Judaism is a lot like Nazism.
Master race -> God's chosen people
Honorary Aryan -> Jewish converts
Anyway, Jewish conversions are a convoluted subject with varying details between denominations, and there is contention among and within them as to what the exact rules should be. Case and point:
"Once undergone, a valid religious conversion to Judaism cannot be overturned. However, a Beth Din may determine that the conversion is void as it was never undertaken correctly in the first place. For example, if the rite of mikveh was performed incorrectly.[52] In recent years many Orthodox conversions have been overturned. In 2008 Israel's highest religious court invalidated the conversion of 40,000 Jews, mostly from Russian immigrant families, even though they had been approved by an Orthodox rabbi.[53] Debate on what constitutes a valid Beth Din for conversion and for annulling conversions has caused divisions in the Orthodox world. It is an implicit judgment on the character and uprightness of the rabbis in that religious court."
Feel free to dig up whatever details you want. It all ends up with a gang of Rabbis deciding to accept a convert or not regardless of all the specifics of it, like I said. Rabbis aren't going to accept a convert who doesn't believe Jews (the ethnicity) are God's chosen people. It's kind of a big deal within Judaism.
