What is a true Jew, the descendant of Hebrew slaves who escaped Egypt 3500 years ago, that is a myth. or is it the descendant of Hebrews cast away from the land of Israel 2500 years ago, that's is doubtful.
Most Jews descend from the Jewish population of Israel, that were evicted by the Romans 2000 years ago, and moved to many locations in Asia and Europe, like Persia and Babylon, Spain, south Germany, Yemen, and many other places.
above that they all are followers of the Jewish faith.

What we call the Jews of today are the decendents of 2 of the 12 tribes of Isreal. 10 were lost centuries ago after Israel was conqured. the last two remaining tribes, Judah ( thus the term Jews) and Benjamin have come down to today as the members of the Jewish Traditional Faith. The other 10 tribes were scattered and lost their identity, even they do not know who they are. It is widly held that the Africans brought to America as slaves were indeed the members of one of the 10 tribes. There is also a theory that all the decendents of the 10 tribes are here in America today, that is why so many various people came here they were called out of the "old world" and into the new so that the lost 10 tribes would be reassembled, even if they did not know that was who they were.

Are we talking genetically, or theologically? Genetically, yes, the Jews in Europe and America are the true Jews, the decendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and Jacob's twelve sons. Theologically, that's a complicated question that a lot of people disagree on, but Christians are the true followers of God, Jews are the keepers of the Law of God. Take our pick.

The name Jew, comes from the southern kingdom of Judah, which was made up of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and some of the Levitical priests. This occurred after the reign of Solomon.
A TRUE Jew is someone descended from Abraham, Issac, Jacob and the twelve tribes of Israel. The Jews are Semitic people, they are not Black, Asian, or European.
