This is like asking if there's such a thing as a "white Jew". I often wondered how Pharaoh's daughter was able to trick her dad and all of Egypt for all those years. Silly me, she had Moses lie in a tanning bed every morning and wear a wig all day. Let's not forget Joseph, he was much older when he started his tanning sessions and some how he fooled his brothers, who for crying out loud thought he was an Egyptian. Try thinking beyond Europe and North America. The world is a very big place. Beware of those trees you might miss that forest.

And there are Jews who look like "asians" because they lived in India at the border of China for a couple thousand years.
The problem is one more of semantics than actual facts.
The word Jew is used for both the ethnicity and the religion. I've suggested that there should be two words: Jew for the ethnicity and Hebrew for the religion (my Army dog tags said Hebrew).
