<p>Note I said ethnicity, not race, because saying that is extremely offensive. </p>
<p>And I mentioned two specific groups, from two different geographic locations, which have nothing to do with the religion except that the culture is formed from it. They have their own creoles (Yiddish and Ladino), foods, and non-religious traditions. They are their own minority culture. Almost like a national identity for a group that didn’t have their own country.</p>
<p>You can change your religion, but not your race or ethnicity.</p>
<p>Ethnicity/Ethnic Group and race are not interchangable. ksanders was using the terms incorrectly.</p>
