I like it when Jews who's families have been in this country for a hundred years try to pass themselves off as having some special ethnic identity. As if he knows any more Yiddish than your average Irish-American or anyone else who's seen a Woody Allen movie. You're just another shade of white. Sorry..
Good analogy between being Jewish and Irish-American. Except that being Jewish means being part of the Jewish faith. We don't call people from Israel Jewish, we call them Israeli. We call people of the Hebrew faith Jews; or Jewish. Your confusing ethnic identity with religious identity. The two are different.
The term "Jewish" is absolutely used to denote an ethnic group. If all my ancestors are from Israeli and I'm adopted by two American atheists and later become a scientologists I'm not called Jewish? Of cource I am. It's people who have genetic and physiological similarities and a shared history.
Wrong you're called an American then. People may call you a Jew because that's what your ancestor were, but I have a feeling you'd correct them and tell them you are not Jewish. Jewish is a term related to the religion you follow. Sammy Davis Jr. converted to the Hebrew faith and from that day forward was considered a Jew. If you are not part of the Jewish faith you are not a Jew. Again you're confusing religious identity with ethnic identity.
@RealisticMeg Sorry your wrong. Jews are people of the Jewish faith. Being part of a faith is not a race. You can be born into a Jewish family but that does not make you a Jew. The Holocaust causes people to look at Jews as a race of people, which they are not. It's like calling Catholics or Muslims a race when they are people of the faiths of Christianity and Islam.
@RealisticMeg Hey that's nice. You can read anywhere that race is a fabrication. It's was made up so that whites could feel superior to those they conquered, you know many years ago. Read any science text and a human is still a human no matter what. Race was created to denounce those of other skin types. So... I don't know what you're talking about with this race crap. John Stewart may be of the Hebrew faith, but that's not a race it's just a religious choice which he could renounce.
@RealisticMeg Let me continue to help you out with the definition of race.
Race denotes a grouping of people I.G. all of people of Asia fall under the Asian race, or more specifically, all the people of a yellowish hew of skin are under that "Race". The majority of the Jewish religion are white. That's why Hitler great plan was called racial purity. He was purifying the white "race" of what he termed a disease. Judaism=Religion - Religion does not=Race.
The term race is often used in biology taxonomically, as a synonym for subspecies. In this sense, human races are said not to exist, as all humans are classified as the subspecies Homo sapiens sapiens. Many scientists have pointed out that traditional definitions of race are imprecise, arbitrary, have many exceptions, and have many gradations, and that the numbers of races delineated vary according to the culture making the racial distinctions.
@redduey A quote I found. Also for those still wanting to call jews a race. Look up Commentary magazine. Go to the archives and search for an article called "Is There a Jewish Race" Set search parameters for Jan of 2008 to December of 2008. You will get one result. READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE. At the en Hillel Halkin replies to the letters to the editor. Hillel is prominent Hebrew scholar who has published many a number of books on the Hebrew faith.
@redduey HOW MANY COMMENTS ARE YOU GOING TO LEAVE! SEND ME A MESSAGE INSTEAD OF LITTERING THIS PAGE WITH YOUR LITTLE DIATRIBE! AND YES ALL CAPS ARE COMPLETE NECESSITY! I REFUSE TO READ THIS!
@RealisticMeg Why? Is this your video? Or are we just going by your arbitrary rules now? I was under the impression I could leave any message I wanted.
@redduey Mmm, no but YouTube has this spam policy, and I think you're in violation of it. If you want to have an intelligible conversation with me about philosophy over a private message you can. You really don't know who you are talking to. I have studied this for years, I am perfectly capable of reasoning with a person who is respectful. You however are not, send me a message or stop commenting, I'm not reading this shit anymore.
@RealisticMeg Why should I send you a message? Couldn't you have sent me a message instead of replying to me here? It seems you're living a double standard my friend. Also if you have studied this stuff for "years" you would have known to give some kind of proof or cite some kind of text instead of just replying to what I said with, "It is a race too. Sorry to break it to you." And I don't understand how I'm not respectful? You're the one tossing out insults.
@chawk111 I suppose they feel that way as an African American person would or an Italian. I look Caucasian, but according to my family history I am not. Yet I feel to have a racial identity even though I'm white-washed. It's not just Jewish people. Even though one is completely immersed in their history it can provide a sense of identity.
@RealisticMeg I have read your correspondence with #
redduey. I agree with you completely and think that he is an idiot who takes semantics personally for some reason. He tried to start a ridiculous debate with me a few months ago but I just ignored him. No offense, but the last sentence of your post to me dose not seem to make any sense whatsoever. I've read it 50 times. What were you trying to say?
@chawk111 Wow, thanks, people don't back each other up enough on the internet anymore. Sorry about that sentence. I had a lapse when I typed that, I meant to say the exact opposite; this is what I meant to say: Though someone may not immerse themselves in their ancestry, it can still provide a sense of identity for them. I hope that's better. That's what I get for staying up all night reading Jane Austen!
"WASP version of the Daily Show" vs "Jewish version of the Daily Show?" it's a cute way of putting it, but it's alos off the mark. Kilborne did the jock version; Stewart is doing the nerd/geek version.

To further illustrate my point -
If I'm born in Israel and when I turn 18 convert to Catholicism, am I still a Jew? No I'm an Israeli catholic.

And as you can see the nerd geek version was funnier. Craig Kilborn but he is a jock like the ones I also didn't like in high school.
