  Well, considering that Jews put emphasis on a "Jewish mother" that
makes sense. Of course, nothing is stopping the mother from becoming
Jewish if she wants to.

  Well, I think the difference is that you refer to "the Jews" en masse,
but seperate the Neo-Nazi groups out as fringe on the other side. We
ought to likewise separate Neo-whatever groups out. Jews in general
aren't racist any more than any other group (I suppose you could argue
virtually everyone has somewhat of a racist view on something somewhere,
but you know what I mean).
