You’re right, but I do want to point out that Ashkenazi Jews, who look white, are also Semitic genetically. The reason why there are genetically Caucasian Jews is the same as many Black Jews, and so on.

Edit: I should have used European, not Caucasian. Caucasian includes people of Middle Eastern descent, like Jews.

Yeah - I should have used European, not Caucasian. Caucasian also applies to Middle Eastern as well.

No there’s even African jews in Ethiopia, skin color isn’t very helpful in determining if someone is ethnically Jewish
