WASP is a somewhat unflattering term for a white non-Jew (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant). If a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant converted to Judaism, he or she would be considered a Jew.
(FYI, the term "Hebrew", in reference to people, is outdated and should be avoided).

Was Jesus a Jew or a Hebrew?
All Jews are Hebrews. Jesus was both a Jew and a Hebrew. The term "Jew" referred to the people of Judea, of which Jesus was a member, and was used as early as the fourth century BCE (including in the book of Esther). All Jews were Hebrews (since a Hebrew is any descendant of Eber and Eber is an ancestor of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the ancestors of the Jews), but not all Hebrews were Jews. Jesus was also more strongly aligned with the Pharisees he rejected than any of the other contemporaneous Jewish movements. Although the Pharisees would not become the dominant form of Judaism until the Talmud was published, their views and methods of interpretation were certainly well-developed by Jesus' time.

It didn't actually happen that way. The letter ת had two pronunciations in Ancient Hebrew T and Th.

Israel uses Sefardic Hebrew today.
What is the difference between a dutch and a Jew?
You can be a Dutch and a Jew both. A Hebrew Jew is part of a RACE of humans. A Dutch is a person born in the Netherlands or has been naturalized a Dutch. Dutch is also the name of their language. Most of them are from the white race but there are some Hebrew race Dutch people in the Netherlands. The Hebrew Jews can speak in Hebrew and Yiddish. They can speak in the language of the nation they live or were born in. So a Hebrew Dutch could speak Dutch too.
