"Israel brought in thousands of black Jews from Ethiopia. I have no doubt that they too endure some personal discrimination, human nature being what it is, but racists don't tend to give citizenship to people of other races."
And not just Ethiopian Jews. Did you hear that an Asian group, the Bnei Menashe from the India-Myanmar frontier, was declared Jewish last week? Some members of my church got to meet them in 2003, and I found the story of how they got to the Far East quite sensible. No doubt the rabbis waited this long to give them their seal of approval because they want to live in the land that belonged to their ancestors, the tribe of Manasseh. On a modern map of Israel, that would be the part of the West Bank around Jenin. Read all about the Bnei Menashe here:

Next, I expect recognition will be given to the Lemba, a small tribe from South Africa that passed a Jewish DNA test in 1999:
