Because they're a matrilineal people, the family name isn't important to them like it is to us. Which is kinda weird when you consider how patriarchal the folk in the Old Testament were. Even in New Testament times you had guys like Paul identifying by the tribe of their forefathers.
I looked it up. Matrilineal stuff comes from the Talmud, but of course the find evidence of it from the OT. yet they acknowledge that the priesthood is patriarchal. This must be something they picked up in their extra-Christian excursions: Those portions of jewish history post-Christ that make up part of Judaism but not part of Christianity.
During the mass migration period of the late 1800's, almost all the immigration was from white countries, the names of European immigrants get changed for "Americanization" purposes.
That's not really true. Jewish populations in the US have been around as long as it has, and if jewish migration came later, the jewish mafia wouldn't have been such a major force in the early 20th century.
Hell, the US has the largest population of jews on Earth, and most of them aren't post-war immigrants.
I was just reading a page on it, and there are waves of jewish immigration. However, I didn't get relative numbers for each one in terms of how much of the overall population they contributed. I should say the largest waves are later, but of course there are more and more people in America as you go through time, and that doesn't account for the old populations growing.
They change their names a lot. In the modern era, white people don't change their names. They used to.

Right and the bulk of jews came later.

I'll take your word for it, though.
Jews came out of the closet in the 60s.
I know a Jewish family called Drumpf. They changed their names to not appear as Jewish.
That checks out.
That's odd, since "Drumpf/Drumf" is a very, very old German/Norse name. Origins in Viking times.
I'm kidding of course.
