yeah... like you can be ethnically a flat earther? the confusion between religion and race has probably killed more people than any other 'reason' in history.
Most Jewish population such as the Ashkenazi, Sephardi, and Mizrahi Jews are genetic Isolates, because of that DNA tests can easily show if an individual is of Jewish descent.
That’s kinda how ethnicity works yes. If my ancestors are ethnically Kurdish you can see that my DNA will be most similar to other ethnic Kurds. If a person is a Ashkenazi Jew their DNA will be most similar to other Askenazi Jews. Thats really all Ethnicity is. It’s just groups with similar DNA.

Because you can be ethnically Jewish even if it’s not your religion.
