The Jewish encyclopedia? Would probably also say they are "God's chosen people" and would probably relay a cute story about oil lasting for eight days when there was only enough for one day.


Try some non-religious texts next time you want to have a discussion outside of the context of Seminary school.

It wasn't a religious text pal. No they are NOT God's chosen people. Like I said I could care less what some liberal thinks hell for that matter I don't care what anyone thinks I know they are a race so that is the end of it.

I live in NJ , all colors here . I have never known or seen a person "afraid of minorities" .
Are you people watching West side story ? Turn it off.
If whoever is collecting taxes would stop taking from the working class and giving to the welfare class we all could get along .

The United States will be like every other empire that conquered other races or allowed other races into their societies it will fall and collapse. The end of Western Civilization.

You people are utterly ridiculous. Jewish is a cultural and religious identity. A "race" of people only in the loosest use of the term, such as "the American race."

Ignorance knows no bounds on City Data!

What Is "Jewish?"

4.6% Asian
1% Native Alaska or Native American
1.7% 2 or more races
.2% Hawaiian or Pacific Islander

(Does not total 100% because hispanics can be more than one race for the figures I selected) (the rest of the ethnic groups are for people claiming one race) (Not pinpoint accurate but a good general idea

These figures are based on the estimated 307,006,550 people residing in the US.

I am not trying to start a debate. I am just wondering what people's take is on the accuracy of these estimates. Any surprises?
Is this not misleading if the percentages are presented as ethnic groups, but the categories are race?

Question 8 on the census ask if you are of Hispanic, Latin or spanish origin, while question 9 asks your race.

Some who speak Arabic as a language and have a distinct Arab culture are more black African or mulatto (Sudan, Egypt, Libya, Morocco), while there are those in Syria or Lebanon who are blond-haired and blue-eyed.
Many of those from the Arabian Peninsula (Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, etc) also seem straddle the line between white and non-white racially.

That's actually a fairly accurate description of the Roman empire, sad to say...
