Exactly - there are a lot of distinct groups within larger groups. The Finns, the Welsh, and the Basque, for instance, are all "white" Europeans yet are, on the whole, genetically distinct from much of the rest of the European population, although I confess, terming Jews a "race" (given that there are very, very "white" Jews along with some pretty "black" Jews, and a whole lot of "in between" Jews) has always seemed a bit of a stretch to me.
