Technically, a person who has a Jewish mother is considered Jewish unless they are converted by a Rabbi. There are 13,500,000 Jews in the world. I believe the USA still has the largest Jewish population, but Israel is closing in on them. Canada has 360,000 Jews, the UK has about 300,000 France has about 650,000 and Russia has about 500,000.
Interestingly enough, Germany has the fastest growing Jewish population. I believe there are close to 200,000 Jews now in Germany. North Africa used to be home to almost a million Jews, but almost all of them immigrated to Israel in the 50's.

But how do you know if someone is Jewish? You can't tell just by looking at them, unless they happen to be wearing a yarmulke (one of those little caps), or unless they are an Orthodox Jew with the beards and black hats. So if you meet someone, and you think they are okay, and then you find out they are Jewish, does that mean you won't like them anymore?
I think Jewish history and their religious rituals are interesting. And anyway my very first boyfriend, way back in kindergarten, was Jewish

.Yeah you're right. If i'm friends with someone & then find out later that they're Jewish, i will see them in a different light. I won't trust them or even like them because they have some sort of built in mechanism that make's them screw people outta money.
Look at the Enron scandal, apart from Kenneth Lay, all the other CEO's were Jewish. & then you have Martha Stewart who is a convicted Theif as well as all the Music Producers who stole millions from Black talented artists all them years ago.

You guys generalise way too much.

This post has achieved its goal, I suppose. It is completely offensive! I can't believe in this day and age, when we are all sooo sensitized to being "politically correct", someone would post such a topic! And that people would actually respond to the post with anything other than disgust/dismissal is absolutely mind- boggling! Generalizing and stereotyping about whole races, religions, and what not is a very limited and sad way to live in this wonderfully diverse world we all inhabit!
I think embracing people for their differences and learning a new perspective is a far better way to live!
I have had the opportunity to study and learn about prejudice beliefs and- let me say- they are real. They are sad. They are destructive and they are cruel. When the tables are turned and you are in the minority, rather than the majority, you're perspective on things will undoubtedly change.
Seeing someone with dwarfism teased and mocked when they go to the grocery store or go about other daily activities most of us take for granted, is absurd at best! Watching someone who is overweight made fun of, pointed at by adults and children alike, for no reason other than their weight, is ridiculous! Witnessing a Native American pulled over simply because he is driving in an almost all Caucasian neighborhood is heartbreaking, to say the least.
There is nothing gainful in having such a dreadfully limited viewpoint and tolerance level. I would think on a sight dedicated to those with an often disabling ailment, there would be more compassion, understanding and above all, acceptance.
Ugh!

Quit being a cliche bleeding heart. It's not just minorities. Several colleges have been found guilty of discriminating against whites during the admission process. You see, every group experiences it, what is so profound??? :roll:
deal with life.

Exactly, SiocialRetahd! (btw, I know a few people that might be offended by your user name... just FYI!) You are correct, discrimination does not only take place with minorities. Unfortunately, it is only when it begins to affect us (ie. the majority) that we really start to take notice.
I never said it was profound but now that you brought it up, it is profoundly sad!SocialRetahd said:
Call me a bleeding heart if you must- I care!
