--- Quote from: Yacov Menashe Ben Rachamim on March 25, 2007, 02:50:01 PM ---Asian is not a race. I meant Asian as in the continent. I think it is racist and ethnocentric that Orientals have hijacked the term Asian to mean Oriental. West Asians are Caucasian. Asians belong to 3 different races: Caucasian, Oriental, and Australoid.

Ah! Thank you for the clarification. I did think that what was stated earlier in the forum was racist sounding. And I personally don't believe racism has any place in a Jew's heart.  (And no...I don't believe Zionism is in any way racist). But I've noticed in other areas on this forum where people call blacks the N word or use the gangsta rap spellings of it etc. and that just doesn't seem right to me.

There was something else up above someone was talking about having a half black and half white girlfriend or some such. I think, to me if she was Jewish and black and good looking...I'd probably date her in a heart beat. But on the other hand...typically I am drawn to Sephardi women in particular. (I saw this one woman from Sderot in a Honest Reporting.com video and Oh my gosh....I had stomach butterflies just looking at her. Such a beauty!)

I think it would be great for Jews of Ahskenazi, Sephardi, Mizrahi and the Ethiopian Jews to all intermarry with one another. I don't see what the problem would be. I also don't see the problem with marrying women who convert.

On one other topic as well. To me...I don't care if your mother is not Jewish. If Hitler would have killed you for being Jewish. If only your father is Jewish etc. You are a Jew. I consider you that and I don't personally care if the head Rabbi's of Israel or the USA don't. (I have a very poor opinion of Shlomo Amar anyways....)
