      That’s not my intention. My main issue with that comment is that Jewish can’t be both a religion and an ethnicity. Thats the same vibe as Muslims is a faith and an ethnicity. I cannot just look at someone random and say they are Muslim or Jewish.

      Honestly I maybe terribly wrong on this and I do appreciate everyone in this thread being chill. My main point is that I don’t believe in looking at someone and immediately telling where they are from.

          I don’t have an issue with it but I don’t want to generalise a type of person based on their religion. As you asked if someone is following Hinduism, I wouldn’t immediately think of someone from the Indian subcontinent same as someone who is Muslim or Christian or Jewish.

          I do recognise that some religions have more predominant ethnic followers and they are from specific regions of the world, but it’s not always the case I don’t think.

        Well you just shouldn’t do that anyway. But many Jewish people today are reformist and non-practicing. Meaning their ethnicity is what makes them Jewish. You don’t have to assume anyone’s ethnicity.

          I know and I don’t want to. I realise I didn’t put my opinion on this as clearly as I should have been at the start.

          Meaning their ethnicity is what makes them Jewish.

          Yes I understand your point and yes absolutely I don’t have to assume anyones ethnicity based on their religion. I don’t believe in that.
