    Jew is a religion. Ashkenazi, Sefardi, Mizrahi are racial groups perhaps.

      Jews are also considered an ethnicity, not only a religion. There are nonreligious ethnic Jews and there are people who follow Judaism but who are not ethnic Jews.

        I wouldn’t consider “Jew” an ethnicity more than “Asian” – several different ethnicities under one label.
