It seems as if there are still people that think the jews are a race ? Ethiopian jews are black, Barbara Streisand, Gwyneth Palrtrow appear white and others. Woopy Goldberg is a jew. so what race is that ? They have all the colours you can think of as jews. What race ? Being a jew is a religion, not a race. If any one still does not know what they control or what they do, then it could be possible that that person is promoting them and is part of their ideology.

Being Jewish is an ethnic identity as much as religious identity, and in the classical sense of the word, yes they are a race.

A genome-wide genetic signature of Jewish ancestry: Separates Jews from non-Jews.

Being Jewish is not a race

Being Jewish is not a race because Jews do not share one common ancestry or biological distinction. People of many different races have become Jewish people over the years.

Being Jewish is not a nationality

Being Jewish is not a nationality because Jews have been dispersed throughout the world for almost two thousand years. People of many different nationalities are Jewish.

Being Jewish is like being a citizen of a religious movement

Being Jewish means you are a part of a religious movement. However, the great majority of Jews become a part of the religious movement through birth and not due to their beliefs or actions. In this way, being Jewish is like being a citizen of a religious movement.

A Jewish identity is automatically bestowed on the babies of Jewish mothers (according to Orthodox and Conservative Judaism) and of Jewish mothers or fathers (according to Reform Judaism). This Jewish identity stays with them throughout life even if they don't actively practice Judaism.

If a person is not born Jewish, he/she can undergo the process of conversion to become a Jew. A person who was not born Jewish or has not gone through the conversion process is not considered a Jew even if he or she believes in Judaism and observes Jewish practices. The conversion process is very meaningful because it is the only way for a non-Jew to become Jewish.

With being Jewish.

Ethiopian

They are not Jews. They are not recognised by Jews by any leading Jewish authorities, or any any leading authority in the world on anything.

American, German, Russian, Polish etc.?

American-Jews, German-Jews, Russian-Jews, Polish-Jews are still Jews. Calling a Jew an American-Jew is representing his dual national and ethnic identification.

Much like my self. I am ethnically Irish, but I live in Scotland. I am an Irish-Scot. The Irish representing my ethnic heritage and identity, and the Scot representing my nationality (by custom and tradition, not by law).

Black, White, Arab, Asian ?

The Jews are a Caucasoid people.
