I misunderstood the question, it says an ethnic group, would that be white or Jewish?
Jews are "white." Most people whose ancestors came from Europe are considered "white." However that kind of classification is useless. How can a person of mixed heritage be labeled with any color designation?

This is the question that I am supposed to answer about Jewish people. I am trying to research it online with nothing so far.
OK. Most Jews did not colonize the U.S., but immigrated here long after. Many experienced a combination of prejudice, segregation, and racism. Check these sites.
