-- Posted by jakelong at 7:54 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 My jewish friend says "yes they can be"   I usually say "who the fuck cares"   but its still a debate for some ppl.   So let's hear it from everyone.   Oh and spare us the links to stormfront and neo-nazi bullcrap ok? We got enough of that already. If you gotta give some reference just give a link. Most of us can go to a website and read it, I'm sick of spammers that post 10,000 lines of crap with no quotes and links and pass somene else's diarrhea as they own shit, -- Posted by auron at 7:55 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 just gimme some bagel and cream cheese....point -- Posted by MushroomSatsujin at 7:55 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Yes. Anyone can be a Jew. Judaism is a religion. Jews are also a people and that is their religion, but as such, Im sure anyone can convert http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism -- Posted by Bacon at 7:55 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 If Jews aren't white, what are they? Jew colored? -- Posted by h a t t at 7:55 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 they can be. israelites aren''t but the... white ones are. -- Posted by Trendz at 7:55 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 If they want to be white then sure -- Posted by liketowatch at 7:55 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 I thought Jews were Middle Easterners, but apparently there's no such thing as Middle Easterners. Idk. -- Posted by glowinthedark at 7:56 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 shalom.. -- Posted by carracer at 7:56 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 I'm jewish and picked "who the fuck cares". Its really not that big of a deal. Its not a question that will keep me up at night. -- Posted by x FENRIS x at 7:56 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Quote: from MushroomSatsujin at 2:55 pm on Nov. 13, 2008 Yes. Anyone can be a Jew. Judaism is a religion. QFT People tend to see it more as an ethnicity though, oddly. -- Posted by carracer at 7:57 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Quote: from liketowatch at 7:55 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 I thought Jews were Middle Easterners, but apparently there's no such thing as Middle Easterners. Idk. middle easterners = semite there is a word for people of that region.... -- Posted by stl man at 7:57 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 jews are white, because they practice judaism which anyone can be, but the original jews are the hebrews -- Posted by prettyinpurple at 7:58 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 they are the blood of jesus, so they can be whatever they want. -- Posted by MixedDelight at 7:59 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Jews can be any colour on earth. Judaism is a religion. -- Posted by RossTheHoss69 at 8:00 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Since Judaism is a religion, while being caucasian or african-american is a race, the obvious answer is yes. -- Posted by carracer at 8:03 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Well there are asian and ethiopian jews.... -- Posted by Shaknbake at 8:45 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 I believe the majority of Jews presently are white. Jews can, theoretically, be any race as converts are not denied Jewish identity based on race, and the Jews have historically gotten around.... -- Posted by Bud2400 at 10:57 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Of course there are Jews that are white.  A "Jew" is not a race, but rather, a religion / culture, which thanks to the nationalist idea that each language and culture is its own race, people have been led to believe that Jews are a separate race. The funny thing is that a German Jew, an Ethiopian Jew, a Palestinian Jew, a Persian Jew, and a Chinese Jew look nothing like each other.  Racially, they are far more similar to the people of the place they come from. -- Posted by carracer at 5:04 am on Nov. 13, 2008 Quote: from Bud2400 at 10:57 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Of course there are Jews that are white.

The funny thing is that a German Jew, an Ethiopian Jew, a Palestinian Jew, a Persian Jew, and a Chinese Jew look nothing like each other. Racially, they are far more similar to the people of the place they come from. Sometimes there are subtle visual differences between the native people of the land and the jews who live there. Take ethiopian jews  for example. They have a kind of mixd color skin rather than a darker color skin common for the region of the world. But you are fairly right. I mean by no means are they completely white, and they certainly don't look like jews from places halfway across the world. Iranian jews look like they are from the middle east, chinese jews look asian, and european jews look european. After such a long time, many jewish groups have taken the appearance which is common in the places which they dwell, rather than where their genes may have been originally derived. It is not unlikely that people both converted into the religion and married out of it. -- Posted by kidd rune at 4:34 pm on Nov. 13, 2008 The question "Who is a Jew" is still going on.
