I think the reason that many Jews don't describe themselves as white is this: when someone looks at me, they see me as white. But when someone sees "white," they think of someone who isn't me. Does that make sense? Same way a certain high school teacher I knew when I was in high school, who was Haitian, said "When people see me, they see me as African-American. But I'm not African, and the history that you associate with people who are African-American don't apply to me."
