For what it's worth, I do find the formulations "Jews", "American
Jews" etc rather awkward and find they have unfortunate connotations.
Is it preferable to have "Jewish people" inconsistent with
"Buddhists"? I don't know.
I do know that tags instead of categories (which is what these really
are) would make this easier: "Jewish", "American".
