I am not so good at telling Sefardic Jews apart from other similar looking people (a good rule of thumb though is if you are not sure whether thia is a Jew or an Arab, look in their eyes: Jews' eyes look intelligent :) ), but Ashkenazi Jews are easier for me to recognze.

Jews are not a race, they come in every shape and form.
fat, skinny, tall, short, blue eyed, brown eyed, green eyed, blonde haired, brown haired, white skin, olive skin, green skin

Jews sure are a race. They are as much of a race (or ethnicity, if you will) as the English, the French, the Danes, the Poles, etc., etc... There have been NUMEROUS DNA studies proving this. In fact, Jews are even more homogeneous than other ethnicities. They come from the same stock of male genes, just as the Bible tells us, with a somewhat wider variety of the female genes. Please google this if you don't believe me. For example, the Oppenheim studies. Jewish common genetic ancestry is today proven to be a scientific fact. Blue eyes and fair hair are a part of the original Jewish phenotype as much as the much more common brown hair and eyes. The reason that there are more fair Jews in some regions than others, also the reason Sephardic Jews look somewhat different (darker) than the Ashkenazi Jews is the natural selection phenomenon called "genetic drift." Google it as well.

Jews may have common ancestery by ethnic background, but Jews are not a race, perhaps you could see the Hebrews or Israelites are a ethnic group which consist of a majority of Jews. Judaism is a religion. That's like someone saying "I'm from the catholic race".
Ulli:
Jews are imo really special. They are neither race, but they are nor only a religion. They sit between all chairs. If you would replace the word "race" by "nation" I would fully agree. Because a race nobody is able to join.

Just because Catholicism is a religion and Judaism is a religion doesn't mean that one could use this comparison as a valid analogy. Go argue with genetic scientists that Jews are not an ethnicity. Don't forget though to show them your own scientific data, because the discussion might quickly get very technical. Read up on different Y-chromosome haplotypes, it'll be useful.
