I have always identified with Ashkenazi Jews, whether I loved them or hated them, as fellow Europeans, but have come to realise that many (most?) do not reciprocate my sense of shared racial identity.
Because the Nazis, in their criminally insane way, saw Jews as an alien race, which they persecuted & sought to exterminate, many Jews, it seems, in their collective subconscious, acquired a sense of racial self-denial & self-hatred, which #BigBrother & his minions weaponised.
When I use the term #Racial_Identity", I can almost hear people drawing in their breath, I think, because it is associated with the Nazi idea of #RacialPurity & the horrors it led to (ie the Holocaust). As a consequence, the very idea of race & racial identity are now taboo.
