Who Are The Jews? Are Jews White?

There are times when I say to myself "I'm not a Jew." I don't believe in any known variant of Judaism including Jewish Atheism, nor Jewish specialness, nor the Holocaust religion.

I have this accent, I think I "look Jewish" and having had a Jewish upbringing (not mainstream Jewish but a type of Jewish family life) I check myself. Wouldn't I be lying if I simply said "I'm not Jewish?"

Do I want racists to define me for me? No. In some eyes even if I became a devout Christian or Muslim I'd still be a Jew. But really, "fuck those people", right?

No longer a "Jewish atheist" (yes, that's a kind of Judaism) I believe in the fact that there is a Creator, a First Cause, right and wrong. If the universe and science have rules somehere down the line there is and was a Rule Maker, no?

And this "white" thing. I've met some people who are just about white- albinos. "White" as far as human races go is not a scientific term, it's socio- political. Though I don't live among whites, had worked for years in mainly "non white" occupations, when push comes to shove it's much less likely a cop will put a bullet in my back than in a Black person's even lying face down.
