I don't believe that Jewish is an ethnicity. That's like saying Catholics are an ethnicity. Judaism is just a religion. Any ethnicity can practice it. Same with any other religion.

Ashkenazi Jews are in fact an example of an ethnic Jewish population, due in part to specific cultural traditions and language (yiddish)

[-] DanComrd@hexbear.net 6 points 9 months ago

Right but that's not the same. There isn't one Jewish ethnicity. The Ashkenazi, Beta Israel and Sephardic are all separate Jewish communities and ethnicities

Sephardim and Ashkenazim are related.

[-] DanComrd@hexbear.net 4 points 9 months ago

Yes, related. Not one ethnicity, but one of many because they each practice their religion slightly differently and have their own uniqueness on their cultures and their origins and their language.
