Every group thinks they're special, nothing unusual there. Chosen people however refers to bring chosen to receive the law, so it's a recognition of responsibility, not privilege. Many Christians believe that the chosen people designation passed from the Jews to them. I wonder who came up with that one.

@BohoBabe The Khazar theory was debunked.

@LeopoldBloom I wasn't referring to that. I mean that the ancient Israelis were absorbed into various local populations through mixing. Ashkenazi Jews are basically Germans who practiced Judaism instead of Christianity. Being German, I probably have just as much Ancient Israelite DNA as any Ashkenazi Jew. Same goes for the Spaniards and the Sephardi Jews.
