"What Jews have in common is being Jewish, not being Caucasian."
I never said they were Caucasian. I said they were Jewish!
"Or do you have the notion that living among Egyptians, Sumerians, Babylonians etc. the early Jews had no intermarriage or rape (I mention this because one is accounted Jewish by way of the mother, so a woman raped by, say an Egyptian overlord, would have a Jewish child."
Intermarriage is precisely what makes the "race" word more difficult. If the mother is not Jewish, the children are not Jewish either. It is because they used to inter marry that they were a race.
As for rape that is in the Bible and so are the consequences for it.
In the future you'll be debating with yourself. This has already gotten ridiculous with your penchant to debate nothing. Just trying to save you from further embarrassment. yes, I know, it is critically important to have the last word accompanying some flame words - so go for it!

Thanks for playing.
I like your new description of race; "It is because they used to inter marry that they were a race."
...and furhter note your lack of a response to 230.
