BBC debate on whether Jews are an ethnic minority group sparks outrage

I’ve just been on the BBC’s Politics Live where the BBC literally just asked four non-Jews if they agreed with me that Jews are an ethnic minority. Imagine if I was Black and four white people were asked to judge if I was a member of an ethnic minority. It would be as offensive. pic.twitter.com/2jPCJa1MJG— Benjamin Cohen (@benjamincohen) March 1, 2021
2) The discussion was about that tweet and moved onto the fact that according to the Government – not Politics Live! – Jews aren’t an ethnic group in the UK. So, if you believe they should be, please tell Government as it’s their policy. https://t.co/ppoLWb8UsJ— Rob Burley (@RobBurl) March 1, 2021
Burley cited a government document that lists, for census purposes, several ethnic groups, but not Jews. However, the document does not say Jews are not an ethnic minority. It also features five categories classified as “other” and a disclaimer saying that the list does not represent “how all people identify,” encouraging residents to write in their own ethnicity on official government documents.
