    I was told that only white people can be racist.

        Race is a categorization of humans based on shared physical or social qualities into groups generally viewed as distinct within a given society.

          I would say that, strictly speaking, race, religion, and culture are different things, but with a lot over overlap. “Jewish” is a perfect example of this. “Jewish” can refer to religion, race, nationality, and/or culture - in any combination, all at the same time.

            Well that is because almost no one is part of the religion if they aren’t from the ethnic groups and people who are part of the ethnic groups generally follow the religion and culture. It is a near perfect circle venn diagram. Unlike religions like Islam and Christianity and to a lesser extent Buddhism.
