[MarkL]

Is "Jew" only a religion? If I am a German pagan and convert to Christianity, am I no longer a German?

I don't know that I agree that Jews are a "race." Judism is a religion, and you can convert to Judism. I was born in America. My parents were born in America. I am an American, who happens to be a Jew. In response to your answer, If I convert to another religion, I will still be an American. Will I still be a Jew? Well, according to Adolf Hitler, and many others of his ilk, I would still be an "unter mensch."

I guess we agree that "Jew" isn't a race any more than "Arab" is a race. Caucasoid is a race as is Negroid and Mongoloid.

I think the problem is comparing "Jew" and "German." I think you have to compare "German" with "Israelite."
