Sometimes the word 'race' is used with different connotation, as in f.e. ''the Human race" meaning rather civilization-community-culture. It refers not to any specific physical pattern. Jews certainly do have some overwhelming anthropological face nontheless, yet they are very mixed since the days of the pharaohs and probably well before that.
