Just culture and religion.

@eMortal then why does ancestory.com and 24&me have a section that says ashkenazi jewish? o_O

@Scarlett that's exactly why. Ashkenazi jews are caucasians, hebrews are middle easterners. So it is not race that they have in common. It's religion and all the culture around it.

@eMortal I thought middle eastern and south asian people are mostly caucasians also. just not white.

@Scarlett nope.

@eMortal x_x my bio teacher lied then ;-; she told me caucasian refers to the skull structure T_T while white, black, brown..etc refers to colour of skin.

@Scarlett it's easy, just google "Caucasians" now.

@eMortal ok, the scientific system is flawed cuz apparently the first people who labeled race was wrong or something XDDDDD and apparently Nordic is the best race.

@eMortal wait how tf did they determine what race is good and bad? by what standards? x_x

@Scarlett it doesn't matter now. We're forking away from the main question. I was just trying say there are jews of all colors. Black, Brown, White etc

@eMortal lol I was just saying what i found interesting. only religiously/culturely. in terms of DNA biologically unless if they're mixed most likely not.
