Ethnoreligion. Judaism doesn't try to convert people, and Judaism is based on matrilineal descent, so most Jews have a common ethnic background.

I’m Jewish but my kids aren’t (I married a gentile). Weird right?

Does it matter when it is used as a basis of discrimination? Do you think the university asked themselves that question when they refused to admit Jews?

It does, discriminating against a race feels wrong, but I'll talk mad shit about a religion all day long.

Its an ethno-religion. Ethnic group + religion. "race" is a social construct.
