I asked because every time I say something to a Jewish person, which they think is offensive, they call me racist... So... Jewish ISN'T a race...

"is jewish a race"
thats not proper english...
jews/hebrews/israelis are the decendants of abraham. they are considered a race.

Saying that judaism as a whole is a race is like saying christians as a whole are a race.
There are black jews, just like there are black christians.

There are jews and there are jews.
Jews from Judaea; and Jews, followers of Judaeism.
Tis both a race and a religion. A lot of the time, it crosses over.

I wouldnt say thats its really a "Race" but people say thats its racist because saying that your "Religionous" doesnt sound right to mean that you said something that offended someone about there religion

Here's an easy way I define race. Race is something you have no control of, like being black/white/hispanic. You can choose to be Jewish if you want. It is just a string of beliefs, not a race all by itself. I see Christians turn Jewish, and Jewish people turn into Christians all the time.

but we arnt talking about the religion judaism.... we are talking about an ethnicity. keep in mind that not all people in israel are jewish... some of them are pakistani(another race that has no country of thier own)

I'd have to say that they're not, they have sort of almost turned themselves into a race though, but someone can change from being Jewish, so it's not really a race. Unless you're talking about like someone from Israel, but that's not really what I would consider a proper name for somebody from Israel. I think he means it's more like
Him: I don't believe in Judaism.
Jewish Person: You're racist!
Him: I don't believe in Judaism.
Jewish Person: You're racist!

we arnt talking about religion!!!!!! religion has nothing to do with ethnicity!!! hitler murdered jews because of thier ethnicity. jews did not become israelis untill the country israel was made. you cannot become a jew and if you are a jew you cannot become something else. its your race not your religion.

Judaism is not a race, it's not an ethnic backround, it's a system of beliefs. You know how Hitler didn't believe they were a full "race"? He wouldn't count someone as Jewish if their Grandparents were not. Meaning, he knew it was not a race. Just a group of people he could pick on, and blame Germany's problems on.
