Iran, Turkey, Cypress, and Iraq all contain populations of white Europeans. But most people in these countries have interbred over thousands of years with non-Europeans including Turkic, Mongoloid, and North African tribesmen. Therefore, the majority are mixed race, containing no overwhelmingly European gene pool, but one of mixed racial ancestry.

Most Europans, like native Germans, French or English, are much more genetically homogeneous, having never interbred with Africans or Southern Asians.

I can't believe some of the responses I am reading here....... I think it basically proves that it isn't dead (except of course the part about white people.... clearly minorities are anti semitic as well).

Pathetic.

If no, I say they are not white. But this has nothing to do with this thread anyway.
Yea...it would be racist.

Its like that here in Los Angeles. Being that its a "minority majority" city, some of the most anti-semitic people I've ever met are not white.

Most Arabs do not consider themselves white. Neither do most Mizrahi Jews.

White is obviously an artificial classification especially when you define it along the lines of the guidelines set forth by the U.S. Census.

For the purposes of this discussion, White seems to mean 'European' which is a diverse gene-pool, but distinct from the Semetic gene-pool on a phenotypic basis. That is, in general, one can usually visually distinguish someone from a European country whether Italy or Norway (to express the variation in European phenotypes) to a Semetic person. This is regardless of skin color.

Since most Ashkenazim have roots in Europe going back to the Middle-ages, the inevitable intermarriage has given rise to a gene-pool that combines European (White for the purpose of this discussion) and Semitic features.

Ultimately,, while I don't find the acknowledgement of the differences in the physical features of different populations to be objectionable, discussions like this make me very frustrated with the misleading and weak basis for the 'color races', White, Black, Brown. An utterly useless way to describe a person.

They dislike Muslims and non-Christian faith believers more but they consider Judaism to be an inferior faith and incomplete. You probably won't encounter discrimination until you decide to seriously date one of them. Then you will witness this form of discrimination. They will try to convert you or they will say they can't engage into a long term relationship with you because of your faith and their family won't approve. Yes, it's there. Don't think they have forgotten about you just because they are infatuated with Muslims right now.
Have you ever lived in the Bible belt? Can you give us some specific examples? I honestly think most Christians think God ordained the death of Christ--using both the Jewish leaders and the Romans...but we don't hold modern-day Jews accountable.

Bible belt is the area with majority of black people. From my personal observation some prejudiced Blacks don't give a clue if a white person is Jewish or Christian, they call all whites (in Chicago) "crackers" regardless of religion. If there is antisemitism in USA, it's certainly not very popular within Black people. It's white Christians who is antisemite nowadays. This is just my opinion.
