True Sasson,
I just that the book is not racist and if I were Jon I would not refund
Ellen either as it would be an admission that the book was racist and
Ellen would win a silly game that should have been totally off-list
anyway ...

I was hoping Ellen would answer my question about Jews being an ethnic
group? It seems a wrong conclusion to me. What am I missing that might
be obvious to others? Maybe if you answer off-list that would be better
(but not necesssary) as the question seems outside of DNA and genealogy.
