You are wrong. Jews are described in modern sources as an ethno-religious group which also possesses a certain culture, expressed in cuisine, music, mannerisms etc., that are not necessarily part of the religion itself. So therefore, while Judaism itself is certainly a religion, the Jewish people are also an ethnic group because of shared ancestry, and also have a certain amount of shared culture beyond what Judaism itself mandates.

If you meant that Judaism is not only a culture but is mainly a religion, then you're correct (at least from the traditional standpoint).
