Jews are a tribe as well as a religion. So you can be a Jew (tribal affiliation) and not a Jew (religious affiliation). You can also convert into the religion and be religiously Jewish but not ethnically Jewish.

Jewish Atheists are a pretty illustrious club that includes Richard Feynman, Karl Marx, Stephen Fry, Isaac Asimov, and me.

I have a good friend who's a Jewish Atheist. I know it's not a true ethnicity, but I occasionally consider myself a Mormon Atheist; since both sides of my family are Mormon at least three generations deep, predominately Utah natives, and one side includes the original pioneers.

Not that I agree with even the concept of what Mormons do or have done, but I cannot deny that they're my ancestors.

Hey, I doubt many of us are proud of all the things that those of our ancestors' tribes have done. Whether it's genociding the First Nations of America or the Jews of Europe, American and European enslavement of Africans, massacring the Cathars in France, killing and removing the foreskins of countless desert tribes in the fertile crescent, killing off the Ainu, marginalizing the Australian Aborigines, suicide bombing, raping and pillaging across Ireland and Scotland, causing famine by sending millions of smart or hard working peasants to forced labor camps, burning women at stakes, or even being Mormon.
The law in its majestic equality forbids the rich as well as the poor from stealing bread, begging and sleeping under bridges.

Some of us aren't white. You need to add things to the list.

What the fuck does Christianity have to do with a question about wishlists? Oh, yeah. I mentioned Christmas (My personal favorite holiday of the year and one of the greatest triumphs of secularism over religion).

My bad. Next time I'll rephrase it so instead of some mythological figure's birthday celebrations that's coming up in the next few weeks, it's about my birthday that came up four months ago. Because it doesn't fucking matter.

OMFG!!!!!!!! I'm human! Someone in my ancestry did something bad!!!!!!!!!

Eh. Fuck it. Anytime someone wants to remind me what a shitty person I am because someone somewhere sucks, I'll just point at a history book and say, "I know."

The list isn't supposed to be exhaustive, and it isn't exclusively White. But hey, I'll add eating all the pygmies and albinos too if you like.
