Hold up, why is being Jewish about race, not ethnicity and/or religion? What informs that opinion? Race is a social category, made up by humans as a form of categorizing people based on the most easily observable physical traits. Technically, you have just as much Jewish "blood" as you do Portuguese "blood," right?... so why do you have a problem with the Jewish ethnicity, and not the Portuguese one?
And btw, I beg to differ that you have no culture. Live overseas for an extended period of time and see if you still think you have no culture. No human can completely escape the trappings of the environment in which they were raised.
