The whole concept of “race” when it comes to racism is a human construct.

There are many different black ethnicities and many different white ethnicities (and many in the shades between), but to racists there’s just black and white, and the fact that they are conflating many different people into one category doesn’t make them any less racist.

Antisemitism is not about religion because antisemites also hate Jews who are not religious, or who changed their religion.

They especially hate secular Jews, far more than religious ones, even if the most crazies start with attacking synagogues. Finding the others isn't as easy I suppose.

Religion didn't save you from prosecution in Europe and for some your ethnicity is the determining factor. There is a religious component as well, but it is unimportant in the grand scheme of things.
