All the jewish people I know are white, so I am not sure these categories make sense. It may make more sense to refer to caucasians (albeit a broad category).

If the goal is diversity then I'm not sure "white" makes sense. If the goal is to be culturally diverse, then yes jewish people tend to have different experiences and culture than other "whites".
Most of the time people use the word “caucasian” because it seems somehow more “technical” or “scientific” than saying “white people”. It’s an unfortunate word, for sure.
