your question is not specific enough . i dont know what you mean with the question . can you be more exact please
Are you against mixed unions between people of different ethnicities ? You have 3 daughters and each want to marry a foreigner one is moroccan, the other congolese and the last one is bolivian would it upset you ?

So you're telling me she'll become color blind when she'll see ethiopian jews ?
I don't know about ethiopian jews but she clearly doesn't care about the phenotypical differences that exist between herself, her people and ashkenazi or yemenite jews for example. To her a jew is a jew. Besides her, most jews are that way anyway, so nothing new.

@Nassbean Not to mention, if you ask even mixed race people such as my father, he'll tell you that half of his ancestry is entirely from modern day Israel because he is half Jewish..

no offense but this is extremely ridiculous and I don't see why someone like you avoid the genetic reality. Identity should be based on solid ground like your genes/blood/ancestors which is what define your history and phenotype. Culture or religion are ephemeral and change over time.

It may sound ridiculous but that's the way Jews operate. I can't say that they are right though.

no i'm not.

but even if my parents respected me marrying an arab, i think they wouldn't be very happy.
The same applies in my case but in an opposite way. My family wouldn't appreciate it if I married a gentile but I don't really care much. It's not in my plans to marry a jew anytime soon in the future.

That's ridiculous.
agree

a turk can feel closer to azeri (i also think like this azeris are most similar nation in the world to turks to me they're already sub-group of turkish) than the others even maybe + turkmen but the others are not close imo

Azeris are far from closest ethnicities to Turks.
