Why don't Jews think they are white?

There are enough occasions when Jews are made to feel uncomfortable by our majority culture that Jews have difficulty identifying with that culture, and many in that majority culture identify themselves as white. Legal discrimination against Jews in the United States only really ended with the passage of the Civil Rights act of 1964. There were universities with anti-Jewish admissions quotas, real-estate covenants that forbade selling or renting to Jews, and employers who refused to hire Jews. To this day, there are racists in the far right who consider Jews to be non-white and act on their convictions by doing things like shooting up synagogues.
