Today, my dad spent a full half hour trying to convince me that Judaism is a race. FML

Well atcually Judiasim took it's name from the tribes of Judea or the area. After the people were kicked out of there try we called themselves Jews. a people without a country. Then in 1946 Isreal. Now before people decieded to point out minor faults I major in Westren History. please look at the map and see where Isreal is and facepalm yourself for bickering over little faults.

If racial classes are based on what area you're from, can someone show me where Caucasia is? Cause I'd love to back and discover my roots.

how else do we define racial blood? from the area country your from. If your Italian that means your ancestors came from Italy. Not some part of South America. if your born in North America doe that make you north American? idiot

I'm Australian because I was born there, but my Ancestry is German and English. but none of those things define 'race', they define ethnicity, which is completely different. Racially, I'm Caucasian.

The word "Caucasian" comes from the Caucasus Mountains near the Caspian Sea. I guess this is supposed to be where white people came from.

Actually, there is a region in northern Europe/Asia (I'm pretty sure...) that is sometimes referred to as Caucasia.

what??????? I didn't get any of that. well cacausia is a term for an area. Now since white people are called cacuasian that's why u said look for this area. The Jews lived in a place they called Judea. they were kicked out so they kept the name Jew and Judiasim. the name of the area. it's like we lived in area caleed Chritos. the religion is christiany. and the people are called Christians. and I don't feel like typing more I think u get the point. if you don't go read a book.

u guys r all retarded. Judaism is a religion, ethnicity, and race. I say "I'm not white I'm Jewish" all the time cuz I'm Jewish, not white. I'm also Jewish as. religion. and my parents and everyone else in my family r Jewish so judaism I my ethnicity too.

minax your more less an Arabic. due to the area Jews did and do live in. so you classify as a middle eastrean. but there might be some European blood in after the Jews left judea. Just saying.

but you can be Jewish by race but not follow Judaism, and vice versa. If a white person decided to follow Judaism, that doesn't change what race they belong to - they'd still be Caucasian!
