OK.Here's a genetic PCA plot putting Jews as much closer genetically with the Moors (Maghrebian) rather than Northern Europeans.
So how is it that many Jewish people like the actor Kirk Douglas or Woody Allen can whiten there names and have no problem fitting into white society if they're not white ?
That DNA study puts Ashkenazi Jews as closer genetically to the Moors (Maghrebinian) rather than to Northern Europe?
Does that make the Moors White too, or Jews Black too?
My great grandparents on both my paternal and maternal side were from France, Germany, Italy and Romania. My Romania born paternal grandmother was Jewish.
23&Me reported that I am 99.1% European, but 26.5 % Ashkenazi Jew. I was raised Catholic as were all of my other ancestors with the exception of my dad's mother and have never been seen as or considered a minority.
If one believe in Science and History, all of us today can be traced back to Africa, and most of us also have a percentage of Neanderthal in our make up:

For those too chicken to find out their make up they should not take the DNA test. However 23&Me is much more comprehensive & more expensive than that offered by Ancestry.com.
23&me lets us know any defects in our DNA which can lead to or be passed on to our children, causing some serious illnesses, what percent we may be Neanderthal and contact information for those who agreed to be identified as our close and not so close relatives around the world.
