I agree with your post, but not your thread title.

There *is* a Jewish Race. There was enough in-group breeding to solidify a set of ethnic characteristics unique from other human ethnic groups. You can be Jewish (religious) without being of the Jewish race.

DNA and the Origins of the Jewish Ethnic Groups

It wasn't just some "old french anti-semite." In the age of DNA, we can tell that there are very distinct racial characteristics of Jews-by-heritage, just like there are distinct racial characteristics of African Americans (black skin, perhaps?)
