The Jewish are an ethnoreligious group, African Americans are not. Jewish tends to refer to people from Israel and is thus an appropriate term for racial identification. Middle Eastern works just as appropriately I believe.

Ya know, I like how Islam doesn't allow anyone to "draw/portray" the prophet, because that way no one will idolize the prophet, and debate about what color he is and stupid stuff like that, and be more concerned about God instead of the prophet.

Although, wouldn't Jesus be Middle Eastern? (Arabs FTW!)

Not exactly, especially since Judaism is a religion people can convert to, regardless of ethnicity. A proper term would be Hebrew when referencing the ethnicity, and Jewish when referring to the religion.

Exactly...

Judaism - a religion

Jew/ Hebrew - A Race of people.

if people could simply "convert" then the Holocaust wouldn't have been much of a problem since all the Polish and the Jews could have just said "oh, I just converted to christianity...so uhh...I don't have to wear this star of david and move out of my house into a s***ty ghetto right?"

I'm fairly sure "refering to the Hebrew or Ancient Middle Eastern people" is part of the definition of Jewish, so I don't see how it would be less proper than Hebrew, although apparently less confusing for the surprisingly large number of people who aren't aware of the adjective's potential uses.

The issue is that I can become a Jew by going through a defined process, I can't exactly become a Hebrew though. Something to do with the fact that most of my lineage comes from northern/western Europe.

BINGO!

I'm not one for christianity threads but I was wondering if Jesus was black or white? I always thought he was white but I've been hearing on TV lately that he was black. I'm thoroughly confused.Dargiboo

because color is apparently one of the biggest issues in american media. but anyway, have people thought that maybe he was actually brown?

Norg

French isn't a race, but black is. White mexican isn't a race but Caucasian is.

Jewish isn't a race, it's an ethnicity, religion, and culture, but definitely not a race.

Plus in WW2 would you change your religion and beliefs just because a crazy leader didn't agree with it?

Here's the picture "they" put out a few years ago in an attempt to match Jesus with his historical place and time. Behold your savior. I think they found him hiding out in a hole in Iraq.

Seriously though, Jesus was not the white and blue-eyed dude you so often see in the moives. He wasn't Shockoe Zulo either. Use your noggin.

Yeesh, let's just say that Hebrews didn't mind having a European wife/husband and leave it at that.
