I agree with ittybitty kitty. Historians and theologians have traditionally viewed the jewish peoples as both a distinct race AND a distinct religion.
And I personally would consider someone who dislikes a jewish person based on the fact that they are jewish a racist.


Originally posted by IttyBittyKitty: Back to the point of the use of the word "Racism"versus "Bigotry" or "Prejudice." I would, myself, have no qualms in using the word "Racism" in describing anti-semitism as Jewish people were, as Semetic peoples, racially distinct from other Caucasians before the Holocaust. This ancestry has been diluted somewhat since, but it still remains and many Jews bear the unique phsyical characteristics associated with that race.

Being Jewish is a religion and not a race: Check your

The first Christians were Jewish.
