i think the question is, how do they have a race in the first place.

Where would the race of jews be from, like what country or continent. Thats what i dont know.

The Romans kicked the Jews out of Israel thousands of years ago because they were rebelling. They shipped them to and scattered them around Europe. Jews that have returned to Israel (as well as some other people who live in Israel) are modern Israelis.

i find this rather funny, typical ignorant Yank. TTTTTTimmy, does this mean all coloureds are African Americans. what happened to the REAL Africans and what about Aborigines. i'm pretty sure Eskimos don't fit into any of your categories. what about the coloureds that are born in European countries and are 4/5 generations of said countries.

When you say you are "half Jewish" do you mean religiously or racially?

It is not a "race" as most anthropologists might catagorize it, it is however an ethnic group to itself. It is also a religious community.

So, it is kind of both, but moreso one that the other.

While I tend to be quite black-and-white, I do recognize that some things don't easily fit into pretty little boxes.
