2 different things. If that was the case then we can assume anyone whose white could be a Jew.
85% of Jews in the US are Ashkenazi. LESS THAN 12% of the Ashkenazi gene pool is European/White in origin.
Therefore - you can actually conclude that American Blacks are "Whiter" than American Jews.

But like I just said about the characteristic thing and not knowing. I won't repeat it again to you

But your not understanding that The physical difference between Jews and Caucasians are not really  worlds apart.
Try not to confuse White and Caucasian.  


Which is why no one can always be sure if someone is a Jew.
This is besides the point - just because you can't tell if a glass of water has a drop of battery acid doesn't mean you should drink it anyway.

Well many people don't establish someone of being different from them if they look white like them or black like them. If someone was Jewish in segregation times they would probably get away with going into a white store more than a black person. Many people can't tell a Jew from a white..........
Well Jews weren't very populous in the USA and many of the US leaders didn't like them to begin with.

And SO WHAT if some people can't tell the difference? It doesn't mean THERE IS NONE!


Which is why there are so many 'Wait he's Jewish?" puns.....
Because they are Jewish and not White?


And yes race is more than how you look but unless people can see your genetic makeup just by looking at you then it really doesn't say anything.
They can't.
But those genes influence how you look.

You can tell that the average African Negro is a Negro because he looks like one.
With a DNA sample you could also find out he's a Negro.

Once two full Negroes give birth to someone of another race - tell me.

But again, Jews look white and many people don't go through a whole analysis on his nose or his genetic makeup when they look at people.
Race is more than just what you look like.  
And his nose is easier to describe than facial features - both of them resembling Jews.  


There are many instances where you think someone could be Jewish but they aren't.
That is true.  
If someone had Jewish parents and they became an atheist and married another atheist - their kids wouldn't be considered Jewish - but they would still look like it.  


Besides, your the one who implied that you can tell what someone is by how they look. Not me so that "WOW." is questionable.
It's not with 100% accuracy but I can many times tell the race of someone by looking at them - especially with the 4 or 5 race classifications.

Why are you people arguing about jews not being white???

In the eyes of WHITE AMERICA jews are WHITE.
If you look caucasion America deems you caucasion
and i dont see Jews saying "HEY, WAIT!! IM NOT WHITE IM JEWISH!" When they get the same job opportunities and treatment that white people in america get.
Its called optional racial identity.

Why would I have a picture of my sisters math teacher? lol
Why bring it up?
Saying something like 'I know a Jew that looks White' doesn't mean much unless you have a picture.


I mean you may not think he looks white but that's because you pay too much attention to the way other types of people look.
So you're saying since I know the various looks of people I can tell what people are by how they look?
WOW.

If he has nonWhite traits common among Jews it hints at Jewish ancestry.
Just because you think nonWhite Jewish traits are White traits it doesn't mean they are.


Most people who look at him will probably think he is white and a lot of people Find Jewish as still white. But if you don't think so that's your own mentality.
It's unscientific and illogical.

As genetic testing SHOWS that Jews are not White - it's WRONG to say that they are.

Maybe this guy IS White - maybe his parents are converts or he is.
I don't know.

But, MOST Jews aren't converts.
And MOST Jews are nonWhite racially.

Therefore - I take the averages and (Because I don't have a picture or any info at all about him) I say that he's nonWhite.

But he looks white.
You say that - but I don't think he does.


And lots of Jews look white.
Not to me.
But I guess I have a better eye for these things.


Black people don't look white unless they have a whole lot in them. When people make decisions they do not look at the genetic factor unless it really shows.
And that guy DOES look like a typical Jew.
He looks similar to David Cole.


And that guy would fit into the category of my sisters math teacher
