Please Justify This Police Action For Me

[Rev. Rye]

What percentage of Jews identify as white? I thought most of them don't consider themselves white, and I'm not going to put a label on them that they don't want. I'm part Irish and yes, I consider Irish to be white. Italians, sure. Armenians? Not really. When I see the Kardashians called white I don't really see it.

Race and Ethnicity
More than nine-in-ten U.S. Jews surveyed describe themselves as non-Hispanic whites, while 2% are black, 3% are Hispanic, and 2% are of other racial and ethnic backgrounds. Racial and ethnic minorities make up a far larger share of the U.S. general population than of the Jewish population.

Note: When the survey says more than nine-in-ten, the actual number is 94% for the net Jewish population, 95% for religious Jews. When Jewish people who aren't religious were polled, the number went down to 88%, and most of the increase comes with those who identify as black or Hispanic, and I'm going to go out on a limb and say you don't think Jewish people consider themselves black or Latino. The survey lists a net total of 2% of Jewish people who identify as something other than white, black, or Hispanic (3% for the irreligious Jews.)
