Thinking its racist is where you went racist.
Had this debate with a coworker the other day. The difference between being racist and working to hide it, or just being inappropriately incorrect by normal happenstance.
Of course with the whole Obama birth certificate fiasco my coworker tried to claim that if you make everyone comply the same its no longer racism. To which I replied, or is taking the time to ensure that everyone is treated the same in fact spending more time recognizing the difference?
Anyhow, I would use the word "descent". "Individuals of jewish descent" or perhaps, heritage.
But I would also not shy away from Jew as a noun for someone of the jewish faith. They are both correct.
Or if you want to be vague perhaps you could have a paper about jewlocks and jerrycurls?
