Ashkenazi Jews are Caucasian. We have many pale-skinned blonds, redheads, people with blue, green and gray eyes. Ashkenazi come mainly from Western and Central Europe.
The stereotype swarthy Jew descends either from the southern or Eastern areas of Russia and/or are really Sephardi Jews from Turkey, Iran or other Middle Eastern areas.
And, BTW, the Sephardi Jews, just like their Persian neighbors, are not only white, they are Aryans.
My red-haired, green-eyed father, a Litvak (Lithuanian Jew), was condescendingly called a ‘white Jew’ by his Christian American coworkers. Many Litvaks could pass for Irish and, within the older, immigrant Jewish culture, were commonly characterized in manner similar to the characterizations of the Irish by, say, the English.
Having experienced the Shabbos dinner table discussions while growing up, I can clarify why it produces excellent thinkers: one is expected to have all the facts before speaking and admonished if we are simply facile or worse, argue from error.
