How do I tell him I'm not Jewish?

[maxmax]

actually an ethnic jew is called an Israeli not a jew.. Jewish is a religion no an ethnicity.

Wrong, wrong, wrong ...

Jews are an ethnoreligious group and include those born Jewish and converts to Judaism .An ethnoreligious group (or ethno-religious group) is an ethnic group of people whose members are also unified by a common religious background. Ethnoreligious communities define their ethnic identity neither exclusively by ancestral heritage nor simply by religious affiliation, but often through a combination of both (a long shared history; a cultural tradition of its own; either a common geographical origin, or descent from a small number of common ancestors; a common language, not necessarily peculiar to the group; a common literature peculiar to the group; a common religion different from that of neighbouring groups; being a minority or being an oppressed or a dominant group within a larger community).
Examples of ethnic groups defined by ancestral religions are the Jews, the Druze of the Levant, the Copts of Egypt, the Yazidi of northern Iraq, and the Zoroastrians of Iran and India. The Sikhs in India, although a proselytizing religion, are usually considered an ethnic group, with the state of Haryana created in 1966 so Sikhs could be a majority in their own state of Punjab.

LOL, you just corrected (contradicted?) yourself. It doesn't say anything in there about jew being interchangeable with israeli. There are plenty of ethnic jews in Canada, a interesting genetic subset in Quebec, actually.

Ethnicity is related to genetics. Read (and understand) the link I posted to OMIM.

where did i say all jews were from israel.. learn how to read

[DarkHelmet82]

ethnic-

An ethnic group (or ethnicity) is a group of people whose members identify with each other, through a common heritage, often consisting of a common language, a common culture (often including a shared religion) and an ideology that stresses common ancestry or endogamy.

HENCE an ethnic jew is an israeli.. obviously there are other countries, but an ethnic jew CAN be considered an israeli. What i was stating above is called an example......

Example:

a parallel or closely similar case especially when serving as a precedent or model

If you are going to wikipedia can you at least understand what you read? Particularly a page written by anthropologists.

Understand how ethnicity is defined. See that section on primordialism? Next the section on kinship?

Kinship is a relationship between any entities that share a genealogical origin, through either biological, cultural, or historical descent. And descent groups, lineages, etc. are treated in their own subsections. That means genetics, boy.

Your conclusion about israel is just wrong. Vash has told you so flat out. Are you stupid?

[DarkHelmet82]

its an example... I can guarantee you I have a higher education and a higher IQ than you. So if I happen to be stupid, you are on the bottom of the totem pole.

Furthermore, it was an EXAMPLE. I never said ALL jews are Israelis or all Israelis are Jews. An israeli would be an EXAMPLE of an ethnic jew, you human turd.

Judge Judy is Jewish.

I always thought it would've been cool if she were called Judge Jewdy.

I just don't like people with middle school educations arguing about semantics.

Considering the topic it would've been wittier to say 'semitics' ... not semantics :-D

i can guarantee you that you are still in your diapers compared to Indi. but don't worry, I went through the same ordeal before i discovered it.

In age and maturity maybe.

Vash, you may know quite a lot about the religion aspect but I spent years on the genetic disorders of Ashkenazi Jews.

Tell me more about this. I'm curious.

I know there are a lot of hepatitis cases with the Jews because they only sleep with their family members.

I'm also not arguing you aren't Jewish as Nick is.

I'm not Jewish; I don't have genetic disorders.
