Judaism is a religion.

"Hav you ever seen a photograph of a Cochin Jew? A Chinese Jew?"
This is one of the few rational points raised here on race. Yes, there are Chinese Jews and Black Jews - Ethiopia, I believe. In the broader definition, without these exceptions, Jews are considered a race even if they don't share the distinct characteristics. I'd doubt that Hitler would have stopped at "race". He would have continued to slaughter Jews regardless of how they looked - just as long as they were Jewish.
As Jews continue to intermarry with other religions, the idea of "race" is watered down further. It's odd how other Jews still consider themselves a "race" and take pride in that. I think they should have pride in who they are.
"Judaism is a religion."
On that we have no disagreement.
