Being a Jew isn’t about genetics. It’s a fucking religion first and foremost. Do you think Hitler really cared about lineage when he was clearing out Jewish homes?
Yes, and no.
Obviously, someone with no Jewish lineage could convert and they won’t start developing the generic traits of a Jew, but from what I understand, even they themselves consider themselves a different lineage than gentiles.
Not unlike how people say they are Italian or Irish, even if they’ve never been to Europe.
Do you think Nazis practice that level of nuance when they’re rounding up people for death camps?
What a bizarre response.
Your willful disengagement with the obvious truth is beyond pathetic. Sad you fucking goons do not understand the most basic things about bigotry.

Oh, well in that case, Hitler still wasn’t Jewish. He was raised Catholic. Later described himself as “not a Catholic and not a Protestant, but a German Christian.”
So how do you interpret someone saying “Kind of how Hitler was Jewish”? Seeing as how he wasn’t part of the religion, and given how “Jewish” is both a religion and an ethnicity? Because I interpret that as someone saying he’s part of the ethnicity, which was long rumored, and which was very recently shown not to be the case.
Yes? Eugenics was a big part of Nazi ideology.

Simple: They’d be misinformed on Hitler’s religion.
Though again, if you think someone not being genetically of Jewish decent would spare them while they were living in a practicing household, then you’d be similarly misinformed on how bigotry functions. Especially when it reaches the point of actually herding up people under a fascist leader.

Where did I say that, or anything like it?

It’s explicitly implied by the entire conversation? If you well-aktually someone when you’re not even going to disagree with the point, then you’re just being a dickhole muddying the waters.
