There's a similar set of LGBT articles, and both they and the Jewish articles have been bouncing across CfD of late, along with a huge laundry list of "X-ish Ys" categories. There seems to be a tug-of-war between one group which wants to claim people out of some sort of ethnic/religious/sexuality pride, and another groups which is nervous about such lists.
I'm coming to the opinion that the category hierarchy scheme isn't working, and that we would be better served by some sort of dynamic facility which would produce the intersection of two (or more) categories on the fly. That leaves open, of course, the issue of whether we should identify people as Jews or homosexuals or what-have-you in the first place. My inclination would be "not", but someone else will have to fight that battle.
