I am either being 'sneaky' or I am 'anti-Semitic"?
[btwThere are 13 Jewish US Senators and 30 Jewish members of the House of Representatives.]
[and in re Blacks: 1 Senator. 43 House of Representatives]

Various internet sites and links made it a point to underscore that members who are Jewish are white.

As a taxpayer and an American citizen you have a right to know the race and religion of every member of the House and Senate. Let people spew their BS. That's all it is - BS.

If you pay attention to the right people, somebody will think you're 'sneaky' or 'anti-black' for asking the first question as well. I don't think one should worry about looking sneaky or offending people; people are going to be offended if they want to, regardless of what you do.

I think it is fine. And to those who reply "why does it matter" are missing the point that it does.
Culturally rooted groups affect all factors of the constituency they represent.

What difference does it make if they're black, purple, Jewish, or worship their dog?
But I'd be willing to wager that you're getting jumped because there are a *lot* of antiSemitic posts on YA.

Black people can be Jewish too. Judaism is a religion not a ethnicity. I still don't understand why people don't get that.

Because race is not a private or secret thing. Religion can be if one chooses it to be.

More interesting are the religious breakdowns.
