Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

RE: Jew/Muslim are religions NOT A RACE
So what about you refute my wiki quote (which has references to sources so it's not like it's an invalid source)? Why should Jews be any less racial group than whites? Whites wouldn't be a racial group if they hadn't discovered blacks and needed to feel superior

I know Ashkenazi Jews who are atheists.

What does that make them?

'Race' is only a colloquial term to begin with and has little to no meaning scientifically

Ethnic group would be more accurate

In my native tongue, names for believers are spelled with a lower case letter and names for ethnicities with a capital letter, so Jew means a Jew ethnically and jew religiously

Brian, I am white according to the social concept of race, people in Germany are way blonder, whiter and taller than me - They're also white. Slavs are different than western Europeans, but they are white. Members of ethnic groups are diverse. I'm sure you can find maybe 100 (or 1000?) black/african ethnic groups. the fact some Jews are different is irrelevant.

NO damn it I am tired of this crap.

Our skin tones and facial features are genetic. Everything else are labels we hide behind. Trace all humans back far enough and WE ARE ALL RELATED.

"Jew" is a religion and "Islam" is a religion and "Buddhist" is ALSO a religion. 

Religion is what creates racism.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean

Are you disagreeing or agreeing that race is only colloquial? Or are you saying Jews aren't an ethnicity?

True, but that doesn't negate the fact that since then, humans have diversified into different "races" or "ethnic groups", whichever term you prefer. To deny that humans who have lived in entirely different habitats for thousands of years haven't evolved into distinct sub-groups is to deny some basic facts about evolution.

Race is not just about skin tones and facial features. It goes further, for example the fact that vastly more people in Asian / African countries are lactose intolerant when compared to European countries is explained by race.

You also seem to confuse the two meanings of the word "Jew". A "Jew" is either someone who is a descendant of the ancient Israelites, or a person who follows the religion of Judaism (and can be both).

You are correct concerning the term "Muslim" though. There is no "Muslim" race.
