    Steele The First , and more Jew Hating

    Steele The First there is no such thing as a "Jewish" race. Jews marry Jews, so it stays in the gene pool.

    That in itself is a race as much as anything. While one can make the case that there are no races genetically, we usually refer to a culture as a race. Culture being defined as a group history, religion and familiar relation.

    Jews have that, they are as much a race as Arabs or Japanese. It's also why Palestinians are now a race, they share a unique history.

    It occurs in non-Jews too, unless you define "Jew" as someone who is able to get Tay-Sachs, then the definition is circular.

    It occurs in non-Jews because they have Jewish blood. Not all Jews always marry inside their community.

    If anything, Tay-Sachs is a good example of how Jews are so insular (elitist and racist) and refuse to integrate into other cultures.

    Heart of the Jew hater. Arguing that that Jews are racist if they don't assimilate and lose their own unique identify, then go and deny that very same identity.

    So now we have your own admission that you find Jews elitist and racist, so we written proof of your Jew hatred.
