What is a "Woke" Game

I mean we all share a common ancestry if you want to go back far enough.  My point is there are different jewish ethics groups.  Ashkenazi = European Jew and while there common dna with Arabs there is also DNA that unique to Ashkenazi that allow them to be identified as Ashkenazi. When I submitted my DNA it did not come back as some middle eastern country even through clearly some of my DNA link me there but it came back as European jew because there are distinct markers for that also.  For example from your article "Richards et al. published work suggesting that an overwhelming majority of Ashkenazi Jewish maternal ancestry, estimated at "80 percent of Ashkenazi maternal ancestry comes from women indigenous to Europe, and [only] 8 percent from the Near East, with the rest uncertain"".  My point is there been enough time from the initial migration form the middle east for multiple ethics groups among jews to form. 

Regardless, I feel like you are pushing farther from the original point.

That it's a ethnoreligious group, anyone can thus become Jewish in the religious sense.

Here my point.  I wish people would only view judaism as a religion but history have shown me I don't get to think that way.

I have called myself Atheist since I was 13 years old.  Last time I went to a religious service was 25 years ago after that I was old enough that my parents could not make me anymore.  None of that matters through if there another Hitler.  They want me dead because my parents was jewish.  I have no doubt they would use DNA to target people if another Hitler ever had power in a country.  The person that just converted could pretend to not be jewish.  I who not practice the religion in over 25 years would be killed through.

When you say because it a choice it should not be considered a minority group but have you consider the person who may not hire me because they found out my parents jewish.  Who see my jewish last name and decide not to hire me.  Let me be clear I not asking for any special treatment or benefit but if it found someone don't hire someone for the sole and only reason that they are jewish or have a jewish ancestors I do think that should be included in anti discrimination laws.

Idearly Judaism is only a religion but history have shown there to many people in this world that would have me killed for a religion I have never followed so I don't get to think that way as matter of survival.
