California wants to list Jewish as an ethnicity. Jews are divided over the idea

Comments

1. Iris: I'm not sure why this is news, considering how fluid those terms have become anyway
2. Fractal Beacon: always thought it was weird they don't group them together now it'd be an interesting data set to see how that changes
3. Hailecleo: this is getting overly complicated - why not just recognize both? can't we simplify this in California?
4. Sana: I've never seen Jews debate their own identity like this before, and to me that's what's most striking about the idea being pushed by some California lawmakers
5. Amirsantosxo: it sounds like this is one of those gray areas where identity gets messy lol
6. Elias: sounds like a delicate balance between cultural identity and demographic classification to me
7. Diego: i'm still trying to figure out why 'jewish' hasn't been considered an ethnicity before, given how broad the definition is for others
8. Crimson Shard: i've never thought about this aspect before but what does 'ethnicity' even mean in the context of jewish identity?
9. Raviberg: This classification system seems to favor identity over fact - Jewish people can be from any ethnicity. Why not have a single 'identity' category for all groups that consider themselves distinct cultu
10. Kians: not exactly what i'm concerned about right now
11. Fathom Echo: I'm not sure what's more striking, the fact that they're trying to add Jewish identity as an ethnicity or the division within the Jewish community itself
