Science divides us by race. Bone structure are different in each.

Politics is dividing us by race and dehumanizing us as a people. Even sex when it is convenient.

But how about people of mixed race? They may pick a race (see Obama) but the mixture can't be changed any easier than the sex in DNA.

I think it’s 3 things:

Biblical Jews = a people

Israeli citizenry = a race

Everyday Joes who attend Synagogue = just Jews (as they would likely refer to themselves just on account of practicing that religion)

Yes, New Iberia was originally Spanish. All of the names on the founders statue on Main Street are Spanish. But when the Cajuns landed they got rid of the Spanish language.
All of the older people I remember spoke French even though they had Spanish surnames.
One physical difference was hair color. The kids with Spanish last names had black hair. The kids with French last names had brown hair.

According to that FBI murder chart from earlier whites and Hispanics are one and the same…my guess is they are trying to not make the difference in homicide rates look any more disproportionate than they already are.

Did any one else catch that too? They used to not group whites and Hispanics together in those stats.

I do think religious Jews can be either or both a people and a race.

Lineage Jews I would liken to a race as birthed through their Maternal lineage. They can also be religiously Jewish too.

The Jewish faith can have anyone subscribe to it and therefore they are not necessarily Jewish by birth, and thus a people.

They will also tell you that American Jews will soon no longer exist because of intermarriage.


Sad but true. And you know what really lifts my bread? These shiksas are trading their looks for wealth, yet we’re the ones obsessed with money!!!

Also Mr. Wang from caddyshack was Jewish so Jews are pretty racially diverse.

I was taught The only races on the planet are

Caucasoid
Negroid
Asioid
Mongoloid

Each broad category has physical attributes that identify them.

And then there are sub categories

I would like to know if they used the term
“antisemitism” or where it comes from, if so why does it seem that they only picked out one group of the Semitic people/race/ethnic group or whatever the approved way of looking at them. Are not Arabs Semitic?

Why do we use the word antisemitism and not just anti Jewish or something that was more specific to the people he blamed for the German people’s problem.

I was taught years ago in school that there were three races. Mongoloid, Caucasoid,and negeroid. But I'm sure that has changed.
