Are Jews a Race Under U.S. Law?

Here is the sub-headline:

How the United States has attempted to settle the question of whether antisemitism is racism or mere animus

From The Tablet, by Law Professor Eugene Volokh, 15 May 2022.

Here is the lede plus one:

Is being Jewish a race?  A national origin?  An ethnicity?  A religion?  All four?

The answer is:  It’s complicated.

Discrimination comes in all forms.  When I was young in the Air Force the F-105 Pilots discriminated against the F-4 Aircrews♠ and we all looked down on the trash haulers♥.

I had come to believe we had been making progress in the area of discrimination, but we seem to have been slipping backward over the last decade.  This article helps us understand, in a relatively few words, some of the law around the issue.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.

♠  I was in a Fighter Wing that transitioned from F-105s to F-4s, and the F-105 Pilots were resentful and, by and large, the F-4 Crew Dogs were glad when the last of the Thud Plots rotated out of theater.
♥   It is complicated.  Transport Pilots are graduates of the same Undergraduate Pilot Training program, or were, but were seen by fighter pilots as people who flew in straight lines from A to B.
