Pretty sure you can't convert to being African-American.

Rachel Dolezal converted to black.

I wonder if this site could get more legit advertisers and not need to resort to scummy pop-ups/redirects if they kept threads like this off the boards...

Ethnicity is based on genetic differences, and thus some Jews do have distinct ethnic traits. This is why Ashkenazi, of whom I am one, have a higher predisposition to quite a few different diseases. Examples include a higher frequency of BRCA mutations and other cancer syndromes, Gaucher Disease, Tay-Sachs, and many others.

A thread about Jewish runners a couple of years ago stated that Levins was not Jewish.

The "Levins" surname is actually of English origin.

some people think hes jewish,but he isnt,and he's said he isnt.levins is an irish surname,although the name levin without the s,is jewish.apparently he has some native american in him,and some african,way back,but hes mostly white.

Rachel Dolezal converted to black.

Mass. Senator Elizabeth Warren converted to Native American. I believe its the Fugarewe Tribe.

Pretty sure he is mixed, he look like a lighter skinned version of Vegan Gains. At first I thought he was Jewish. I'm not sure though.

His race/ethnicity is JEWISH.

Jewish is an ethnic group.

You know how I know this? Some can be biologically Jewish and still be atheist or Muslim. If he has jew blood then he is a jew. Plain and simple.

Don't care about his religious beliefs. But levins is biologically a jew, as are his parents who share his jew blood.

There are sephardic ethiopian jews who are african american and polish ashkenazi jews who are caucasian. Different ethnicities.

Calling a system of beliefs an ethnicity allows you to call anyone who disagrees with your belief system a racist. A person who criticises jewish beliefs can be called an anti-semiite, but a person who criticizes chritian beliefs is never called an anti-caucasian. There are christians who aren't caucasian, and there are jews who aren't semiites.

1. Ethnicity is based on genetics. In Medicine, Ashkenazi Jews are treated as a distinct ethnic group based on genetic studies of disease predisposition.

2. Unprejudiced criticism of beliefs does not equate to anti-anything.

3. Ethiopian Jews - as in, Jews living in Ethiopia - are not African AMERICAN.

If you have curly hair and do NOT have an afro then you suck and have no style.

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE CAM

What's up with this guy? Does he just like the 70s mike Brady hair style, or is he really a person of color? Is he part brother?

This guy may be Jewish but he has some African blood from past generation. Guys like this are either unaware or too embarrassed to accept it. So what man just be who you are, but dude definitely has to have some black in him from his past ancestors

People. Many of us are Jewish on this board. We are not an ethnicity. We are a religion. Thankfully I've never had to fill out on my SAT or GMAT or Census - White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, JEWISH... that would be awkward.

Fellow Jew here and I don't know a single ashkenazi who does not think it is an ethnicity. Did you convert or something?

Newsflash: everyone has African blood in them if you go back far enough.

also jewish, we're an ethnicity, a culture, and a religion, but not a race.

thats why on DNA testing sights like Ancestry.com, our DNA comes up as JEWISH. That doesnt happen for Christians and Muslims as far as I know.

Pertaining to Cam Levins, I dont think hes jewish, but none the less that fro of his is dope.

The blatant Zionism in this thread is disturbing.

Nobody in this thread has discussed the Jewish homeland. Look up words before using them. Ok, boo boo?

His ethnicity- Jewish

His race- marathon

His nationality- Canadian

Ethnicity is NOT based on genetics. Ethnicity is based on social or cultural traditions. You are confusing RACE with ethnicity.

On another note, why are people puzzled by a white dude with an afro. Have you never met an Italian or Portuguese or even a Japanese person with curly hair?

Thank go I live in Canada....
