When Mexicans convert to Judaism, do they stop being Latinos & Hispanics?

Question

I am not converso , but I am not sure if Judaism is a religion or an ethnicity.
Americans say that Mexicans who were born in U.S soil can't be Mexican Americans, just Americans.
So it is possigle for a Jewish people to be American or Israeli-American?

I know some Mexican-Jews who crossed ilegally to the USA. Are they Criminals?
Are they considerate equals in the USA than an Indigenous-Mexican for instance ?

When a Mexican-Jew is ilegally in Usa and don't speak English buy Yiddish... Is that person considerate illitarate and criminal?

but

In other words.... Why the U.S Media defame Mexicans?
Anti-Mexicanism is a hate crime.
People who hate mexicans or Immigrants are criminals.

Immigrants from all over the world come to the USA illegally becaise the Coast Guard and the Border Patrol are NOT doing their job... and because Big Corporations hire illegals.
Supply and demand... Immigration is economic. You Americans need comprehensive reforms and you need to impeach your republican-dictator too.

Answer 1

Judaism is a religion, Hispanics stay Hispanic and Americans stay American,
A Jewish American is not an Israeli American.
You can be Chinese and be Jewish. You can convert from or to Judaism. You are stuck with whatever your ethnicity is.
Interestingly, Mexicans are from America too. Our country is the United States of America, not just America.
There are North, South, and Central Americans.
Hebrew is a language, not a race.
Anyone no matter what their religion or race or whatever else you want to make up who enters this country without the proper procedures being followed is here illegally.
Illiterate is an inability to read, I'm sorry to see you simply wish to link Jews and Mexican in some sort of anti-Semitic, anti-Mexican enchilada.

Answer 2

I am an America, but I am also Jewish. There is no land other than Israel from which Jews have a country hosted by their own. Throughout history, Jews have acculturated yet still practice their way of life. Russian Jews, German Jews, English Jews, and American Jews are all Jews religiously and ethnically. Geographically, where you are a citizen of is your demographic.

All in all- Judaism = religion.

Answer 3

Any Dash-American means you used to be Dash, now you are American. That's why Mexican American, African American, etc. are inaccurate unless you came from Mexico, Africa, etc. Judaism is a religion, Hebrew is a race. So in your above example the person would be a Jewish Mexican.

Answer 4

Sometimes it is hard to know if Judaism is a religion or a nationality. It seems if you say someone is a Jew you are immediately saying that that is their religion and their ethnicity.

But I do think that if anyone converts to Judaism, they still are Mexican or Ethiopian or Scottish.

Answer 5

The US-Census definition of Hispanic is something along the lines of "Identifying primarily with a spanish-speaking culture" (not a direct quote). So, it's prettymuch your choice if you're 'Hispanic' or not. Catholicism is a pretty important part of some such cultures, but not, I'd suspect, all of them, and religion isn't explicitly part of the criteria.
So, probably not.

Answer 6

Could we see the facts on the number of Mexicans that have converted to Judaism? That would be interesting.

Answer 7

Those of us born here are Americans. Jewish Americans, not Israeli. I am American by nationality & Jewish by faith & I am proud to be both.

BTW, I have known several Jews from Mexico.

Answer 8

You are born with your ethnicity, you can't undo it.

Answer 9

That would be up to the individual.
