That is racist.

As I said, Jews are an ethnic group.  Members of an ethnic group have genetic 
similarities, but this is not what some would call a race.  An ethnic group is like Swedes 
or Italians.  And if you would do genetic tests on these two groups you would find that 
they are different.

There is a double standard here.  Those that hate Jews consider them a race and apply 
racist ideas to them.  Obviously, people that are not "anti-Semitic" consider them to be a 
n ethnic or religious group.  To me, considering Jews to be a race is almost equivalent to 
being "anti-Semitic".

I should also note that it has been established that there is no scientific basis for the 
concept of race.  We enlightened conservatives know this and now refer to ethnic groups 
rather than trying to divide the human race up into 4 groups.  But, even if you cling to 
the dubious concept of 'race', Semites are not a race.  Arabs are not a race.  They are 
ethnic groups which are part of the Caucasian race.
