I'm a white Jew from Africa:) So race wise I'm either Jewish, White, African or maybe African American now that I live in America. Joking aside, I agree with

  > So race wise I'm either Jewish What did I just say? ;) Which part of Africa? As I understand it, Middle Eastern (including Egypt). people are considered "white" by the US Census (for those unaware). If natively from Morocco/Egypt/Perhaps more, would you not be considered Mizrahi or are you talking like European ancestory? Not like any of this matters in the absolute slightest at the end of the day. I, myself, have 0% < x < 25% Sephardi with another 0% < x < 25% Ashkenazi heritage. My other half is pure Wonderbread levels of European whiteness. Apparently, I'm a mutt because my ancestors liked to travel and liked to bang whatever population was there when they arrived (I am kidding, this goes for most people).

    My great grandparents fled Russia to South Africa during the pogroms. Ancestry wise I'm 99% Ashkenazi Jew (not a lot of mixing going on in my background I guess) and 1% (I can't remember what the test said, it's been years since I looked but it was a couple different ones). I kind of ended that by marrying into an Irish family and having kids that look like leprechauns :)
