It is weak reasoning to make a comparison between an ideological stance (Jews for or against Jesus) which can be altered at will and genetic traits (skin color, etc...) which cannot (except by the idiotic Michael Jackson method) be altered given current medical techonology.

True both in the former and latter. But I was referring to the former here. Messianic Jews take the hit as being "not authentically Jewish" for their ideological (religious) stance as conservative blacks take hits as being "not authentically black" for their ideological (political) stance.

Putrid nonsense, the both of them.

Ok, when you include the conservative ideological stance as the reason for the denial of your racial identity, I agree with you, it is an apt analogy.

I'll state, lamely, in my defense that I didn't see anything in your original post to determine the reason your racial identity was being questioned and I assumed it was due to physical characteristics, not ideology.
