I don't know how any of it works but I've met white Jews, black Jews and Asian Jews and so, as a people, it sounds like a religion more than a 'race' to me.
And if we are going to craft some sort of homologous relationship for communities such as that, then are all whites/blacks/Asians the same as each other?
Are all Jews the same?
And once that rabbit hole starts being gone down we're back to square one with people introducing themselves to others with a whole bunch of categorisation labels that only the knowledgeable of those from within their own communities could differentiate and we're all as ignorant as we ever were - and then there'll be another faction of a group which comes out with their own particular rules and ways to address them and so on and so forth for those silly enough to try and keep up.
They aren't a hive mind, but many of the prominent jews consider Judaism as a race. And some like Schwimmer here will go back and forth depending on the situation. Or he wants to tsk tsk white people he's a fellow white, but when he craves that sweet sweet marginalized status he's not white he's an ethnic jew.
I have no problem with however they identify as. But I do resent the shape-shifting and the attack on any white person who supports their own race.
I'm in 100% agreement with you. I'm just saddened that it appears that (most) everybody but (most) white people seem to prefer the arrangement where your race is the most important thing about you.
Yes white people who have a negative in-group bias are the ones obsessed with their group identity
99% of Judaism practitioners are ethnic jews, I'd be surprised if you've actually met even one black or Asian jew, given how hard they intentionally made it to join for people who aren't ethnic jews, this sounds like a lame attempt to treat it as a simple religion, you're not fooling anyone
Fuck off with the fooling and look at how the Covington kids got lambasted.
Also, happy birthday to your dickdaddy!
Lenny Kravitz, Lisa Bonet and Ben Harper are all fairly prominent black jews. I've met others.
except they're not religious jews, which was my point, when I said he hasn't met any black or Asian jews, I meant the converted religious ones, religion isn't the first thing people think when jews are mentioned. The only well known religious black jews are Ethiopian jews and you have to be at a very specific region of the world to meet one, even then the Israeli jews don't consider them real jews
