Default Europeans with jewish ancestry: still europeans?

There's a question I always ask myself: Europeans with jewish ancestry still 'qualify' as europeans? Does it depend on how much jewish blood runs through their veins? What are your thoughts about europeans with jewish ancestors, like the great explorer Sven Hendin or SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich? Is it more a question of wich values and wich culture they embrace? How would you feel if, investigating about your ancestors, you would find that one or some of them are non-europeans? Would it make a difference to you?

Personally, I've got a friend who is half spanish and half hungarian. On his spanish side, his grandmother is descendant of marranos (shephardic jews converted to catholicism in s. XVI)). Would you consider him european? Can someone who is not fully european fully embrace and comprehend european values, culture, history, thought, taste?

In other words: is being european a physical matter, or metaphysical?

I know this sounds so naive, but I'd like to know your opinion. I want to know if I have to beat my friend up for being jewish or if I can welcome him into my WN skin head group for having an 'european soul'

Ps- I don't know if I'm misusing some terms here ('european'); If that's the case, just let me know, please.
