Is it really the only race that is also a religion (?!) and what a curse it seems to have been tagged a choosen One.
If I personally were a "jew" I think I would instead make a point to say my heritage is from Israel (or wherever it really is from) in order to un-include the religious aspect as much as possible, unless I really liked the jewish religious aspect, then I would find a word for that and be those two things. I don't say I'm a protestant Dutch. I mean wtf, LOL. Because it's old stuff!
My parents were in the Netherlands during the occupation, so (they/I) can relate to the degree of what it might feel like to be hungary, scared and I guess to also yearn and be excited for the savior when it finally showed up (today I think is their Liberation day).
