    I mean, race is a human construct anyway. We’re all human. We can all fuck and reproduce viable offspring. We’re all the same species, and the difference in our looks was historically driven by geographic separation which resulted in different “looks” based on locality. We don’t have that geographic separation anymore and its only a few more hundred years before we all generally look alike, worldwide.

    I think it has more to do with that tricky thing about the Jewish faith where it doesn’t matter if you believe in Judaism or not, if your mother was Jewish, you’re considered “Jewish” no matter your rejection of the faith. I remember a David Cross bit about it.
