Jews are not white they are semetic , arabs and jews are related they are cousins .Jews who has blond hair and blue eyes are not pure jews they are mixed .I have a german friend from germany he has blond hair and blue eyes very fair skin and his grandmother is west african his mother is half german and his father is german is he white? no .I had met a pure jew he had olive skin , curly hair ,dark eyes and dark hair i thought he was arab.If jews were white 6 millions of jews would still be alive in germany hitler hated jews because they are not aryans , even though hitler was part jewish and african , yes google a dna proved hitler was part jewish and african.

Ana, yes he is white, with african ancestry. If a black person can have white ancestry, a white person can have black ancestry. Let´s be honest and fair. Thank you.
