Is a religion/lifestyle not a race. My thoughts are that detractors call Jewish a race so they can lump them all together. Some Jews are European some are North African and from a lot of other areas of the world.
The Jewish people in Europe at the time were white European. Of course if there had been a large African population Hitler would have gone after them also, and probably did.
