Seems to be the Jews that are Red that worry most about that phony question. But once one is Red, it's not too far of a step to here:
What is the secular basis of Judaism? Practical needs; egoism. What is the secular cult of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his secular god? Money. . . .
We therefore perceive in Judaism a general pervading anti-social element, which has been carried to its highest point by the historical development, in which Jews in this bad relation have zealously cooperated, a point at which it must necessarily dissolve itself. The emancipation of the Jews in its last significance is the emancipation of mankind from Judaism. . . .
Out of its own entrails, bourgeois society continually creates Jews.
What was the foundation of the Jewish religion? Practical needs; egoism. Consequently, the monotheism of the Jew is in reality the polytheism of many needs. Practical needs or egoism are the principle of bourgeois society, and they appear openly as such so soon as bourgeois society gives birth to the political state. The god of practical needs and egoism is money.
Money is the jealous god of Israel, by the side of which no other god may exist. Money degrades all the gods of man and converts them into commodities. Money is the general and self-constituted value of all things. Consequently it has robbed the whole world—the world of mankind as well as Nature—of its peculiar value. Money is the being of man's work and existence alienated from himself, and this alien being rules him, and he prays to it.
The god of the Jews has secularized himself and become the universal god. Exchange is the Jew's real god. . . .
Karl Marx wrote that garbage in 1844. He was not worried about whether Jews were white or not, but he wanted their religion and identity eradicated all the same, going so far as to equate Judaism in particular with his bogeyman of "bourgeoise-ism".
And by descent, it is not clear whether Marx came from the Ashkenazi or Sephardic line or both (thanks to the disinformation superhighway producing conflicting results), but his grandfather was a rabbi in Trier.
