koolkarl Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Chinese, time and time again, have proven to be the most disrespectful, obnoxious, filthy race. And a number of comments regarding this post are not far behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread isn't about what makes a Jew a Jew so I won't bother getting into that here in detail. It is a complicated and often controversial topic but yes as a very rough generalization Jewish identity like so many ethnicities in the world is based on a matrilineal (from the mother) organization. What confuses people is that Jewish is BOTH a religion and ethnicities. That is unusual. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrilineality Quote Matrilineal identification within Judaism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There you go who was it said all religion is divisive .. As for saluting Chinese tourists it could have been alot worse if they'd been goosestepping as well , which if you've seen any of their military parades they are quite good at ..

Yann55 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 3 hours ago, Briggsy said: I understand why you say that. I beg to differ though. For a Chinese person, what happened to other Chinese people in China during the Japanese occupation is unforgivable. For a Chinese person, what Hitler did in Europe to non-German people was a defence of his race. (This is NOT ME thinking) I have heard many times in Thailand from Thais that Hitler was "good", "a good leader", etc. We all empathise more with people similar to us. Some Asian countries seem to have almost no empathy with other races. I don't think this is an issue of pure ignorance, rather Asians know what happened but it is of no relevance to them because they are Chinese/Thai, etc. and the victims were of another race. When countries push a homologous race syllabus through schools from the first year of primary education, it is hardly a surprising outcome. An extremely accurate and pertinent analysis. Thank you Briggsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike the Catholic Church, Judaism doesn't have a pope or any universally recognized arbiter of religious questions. Try to remember that all this religion stuff isn't like math or science.

So gentiles that convert to Judaism for marriage or simply because they think it's the faith that serves them better, they are still outsiders? Can the progeny of a female gentile who converted to Judaism and married into the faith be similarly excluded from the big buffet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Converting to Judaism is very difficult. It's not done on a whim. There is a lot of study involved. Once done, then yes the the matrilineal structure applies as well to children of the converted Jew.

I don't know how to break this to you but a very significant percentage of people that identify as Jews do not keep Kosher. Especially in the U.S. But don't let reality deprive you of your stereotypes. Of course pork eating Jews is definitely a thing, and that doesn't mean they are "good" observant Jews, but there won't be any stonings about it.
