I'm not arguing Judaism is a race, its a culture/religion. But like I said race is often erroneously used as a catch all, which isn't unique to Jews. Try to tell a cuban/puerto/rican/mexican thats not a race. In the end I think these labels while intended as pride do more harm in separating us.

That was a joke, Karim, I don't take these distinctions at all seriously. That's why you'll see me jokingly use expressions like "intercultural bonking" rather than "interracional relationships": sure, if you say my girlfriend is "Japanese", you know what to expect due to the frequency of some minor genetic traits in Japan (i.e. the shape of their eyes), but I don't believe for a minute it's anything more significant than that.
Hence why I decided to, after giving a list of the nationality of all my ancestors, joke about it

You know, I'd totally convert to black if I could: Whatever I did would be cool by default. And that would include this post

You can "convert" to "black" if you want, since "race" is usually "measured" by "self-identification."

The phenomenon of genetic diseases within the Ashkenazi trait, for example, is a scientific fact.
