He's ethnically Jewish, Judaism is an ethno-religion. You can convert to Judaism but you can't become ethnically Jewish, think of Jews in the sense that they are a people who are ethnically related but also created their own religion. Conversion to Judaism doesn't make you an ethnic Jew just like how converting to Catholicism doesn't make me Irish, it's just the Jewish people also created their own religion which people can convert too.There are different ethnic sects in Judaism with Ashkenazim being the most predominant ethnic sect. Ho-Sang is ethnically Jewish while obviously being a very mixed race individulal. Never thought I would have this discussion on CP lol. It's heavily debated weather Jewish claims by African communities are actually ethnically Jewish or have any genetic relation to the Levant region. Research done on Jewish genealogy is quite interesting considering how Jews were dispersed throughout the entire world in the diaspora. Very complex subject
