If your father is jewish and your mom is french

What are you? You can't be nothing can you? Lots of people identify with ethnic backgrounds, and for someone in this situation or anyone who has a father matrilineal society and a mother from a patrilineal, how do they form their identity?

Does it really matter at this point? As far as tribal identity goes, your a member of any group that accepts you as a member.

Neither of them would accept you...Quote:

No.
Matrilineality is a system in which lineage is traced through the mother and maternal ancestors Patrlineality is a system in which lineage is traced through the father and paternal ancestors.
If you have a jewish father, you're not a jew (jews = matrilineal) if you have a french mother, you're not french (french = patrilineal)
So what are you?

You'd be a human with dna that assigns meaningless words to everything.
edit - Or a bastard child that no one wants. You're half Jewish and French aren't you? And in the situation you described I bet. It's time to remove your fucked up organism of a body from this planet. Not even the Shroomery wants you.

Nah, this is 2010, none of that shit matters anymore to most people. Some jewish communities would accept you and others wouldn't without going through a bunch of bullshit.
Part of my family is catholic an d part is jewish, but when it comes to the hardcore believers of each group, neither of them accept me because I wasn't raised in either community properly.

French isn't a religion so what does it matter? You can't identify both with your mother's religion and your father's nationality? Is it a french custom to take your father's religion? It all seems inconsequential since you'd end up taking your mother's religion anyways; I don't think her being french would supersede jewish custom. In the end, I doubt the child will give a shit.

Thank you for your eye-opening contribution.
Okay maybe I should clarify... i am not asking specifically about french/jew, i am asking if you have a mother from a patrilineal society and a father from a matrilineal society.

with the jewish community you are a full jewish , in the eyes of the temple, if your mother is jewish.....ideally both of your parents would be jewish but temples are very strict and some will not even let you be consserded apart of the temple. But some temples are less strict....because they are now three brances of judiasm. orthodox, reformed, and conservative.
i consider myself an old school reformed.....my father is jewish.

Jews customarily take the religion of their mother. I don't see how your mother being French matters. Or how your father being jewish affects the french identity from your mothers side.
Ok, so lineage is tracked differently. But as someone else pointed out, it's 2010 and nobody cares anymore. Saying you're not french, but you're not jewish doesn't make sense. Nor does it matter since they're not mutually inclusive. If this were "old times" you'd probably just be a mutt and shunned regardless.
Also you could be raised jewish anyways. Maybe not considered a part of jewish lineage, but would anyone really care?

If you're referring to it as an ethnicity it doesn't matter if it was your mother or father who was Jewish. At least not in my mind. Also I kinda hate it when people say I'm half Jewish. I'm not half anything. My mother was Jewish, my father is Lutheran. Am I half Jewish half Lutheran? Obviously not. If you're dad is Catholic and your mom is African are you half black half Catholic? Nope.
Edit: Alright, I don't hate it, but I prefer people don't refer to me as half Jewish.

Ethnicity has a lot to do with self-identity, at least in my mind it does. The religious laws don't necessarily dictate your ethnicity (though religion is a common factor in ethnic identity) so I really don't see why it matters if it's your mother or father who is Jewish or French.

its not that you are nothing.. its that your NOT jewish or french.. why cant you just consider yourself lucky to be born in the country that you were born in and worship (or not) whatever god you do and be happy with that? why label yourself.. it makes it that much easier for people to judge you.. and why argue the point that your not jewish or french then argue how you can be nothing when you're clearly by orthodox definition not either of those things? its circular logic and its like a monkey trying to fuck a football..

Jewish isn't really an accurate ethnicity, its more of a cultural identity. Look at Jews from around the world, they look nothing alike. Not to say they don't share a similar ancestry, but they were obviously fucking the locals.

absolutely not, I believe the term you're looking for may be 'hebrew', while it's a language group it's also used to define the cultural ethnicity if one group of semitic people. semites cover north africa and the middle east an includes ethiopians and arabs
so if an arab is claimed to be anti-semitic he must be a self loathing bastard
