I'm sorry, but I don't consider Judaism to be a race. It is a religion, culture, and ethnicity, but not a race. It's similar to the Hispanic label. It is not a race either (look at the etymology of the word; Hispania is a geograhic term relating to the Iberian peninsula). They are both connatations for culture and ethnicity, but not race. There are Hispanics who are white, black, mulatto, and mestizo. Likewise, there are white/blonde Jews and other darker complexioned Jews (who could pass for their Arab bretheren anyday). Labeling a culture as a race is an impropriety that Americans love to do, since they love categorizing and differentiating among their own populace. Making 'Hispanic' a race is equivalent to making 'American' a race; It just doesn't make sense. My last little tidbit is this; When you get a speeding ticket and have to go to court, if you are 'Hispanic' (non black) or 'Middle Eastern', in the eyes of the law you are considered a Caucasian. The same applies to people of Jewish lineage.
