When asked, I say that both my parents were Jewish and I have a great deal of pride in my heritage.
Period.
It used to irk me when someone would ask me if I was "Spanish" or "Jewish". I don't view it as a race, but it's obvious that depending where you sit, it's going to look different. If someone wants to know if I'm a practicing Jew, I'll tell them what they want to know. If they want to choose a label for me, there are plenty of others that fit me quite well.
