Jews aren't White?

[Parallax]

A lot of people say that Jews are not White. What are your thoughts on this?

Yeah, they intermarry so much they're mutants

[Sniper]

Jews are white.

[Aphelion Corona]

Well my skin colour is white.

My race is somewhat Slavic I think.

Edit: And why does white have a capital in your post?

Edit 2: And PR, explain? Judaism has laws again intermarriage, very few people intermarry and keep practising Judaism so what exactly are you getting at?

During the Middle Ages the Jews and the Christians did not intermarry. The Jews were a significant minority back then, so the pool of people to choose from was quite limited. After about a thousand years of interbreeding, there are certain genetic traits that only Ethnic Jews have. There are certain diseases that are found only within the Jewish community. The only one I can think of right now is Sickle Cell, but that's a Black disease.

they sure look white to me. what is the definition of white?

they have white skin.

fuck it, jews are a dfferent religion, not a different breed. if i convert to judaism am i no longer white?

[KikoSanchez]

Well I am assuming by 'jew' he means the people, not the religious group. A hebrew; descendant of Shem.

Jews aren't a race, have you ever saw that as a choice on an application of any sort? Judaism is just a religion, and can be followed by anyone who wants to join it. I've known, seen black jews, and asian.

The original Jews weren't white males, they were mid eastern, Arab. That's why their land is the 'Holy Land'.

Metalligod,

Pipe down and listen to Kelko and Sanchez...

This doesn't really have anything to do with religion so I'm moving it Spurious.
