I don't think the "insufficiently black" comparison quite holds, in part because Jews are, and have been under tremendous pressure to assimilate into Christian culture, whereas African Americans have, historically, been discouraged from "passing"--so much so that it's been, at times, a criminal offense.

...I'm actually well aware of that. Once again, my point is that for me, I don't feel comfortable saying to someone else--someone I happen to know is Jewish--"You're being ignorant of your own culture." It's not appropriate for me to lecture someone else, which is why I'm not going to attempt to argue about the mods' knowledge or lack thereof of Jewish culture.
