While judaism can be considered an ethnicity, due to the cultural aspects..but just the way it was stated was like "my dad's family is <fill in blank of COUNTRY>, <fill in blank of COUNTRY> and jewish"..judaism is a religion and a culture, but not a place of origin to be from, or an ethnicity all its own..you can be from a country and be jewish, as in, i am from israel, and i am jewish..but you cannot be jewish as one of your lines of ancestory.
Sorry, this is kind of a sore subject for me, I am jewish, and have had to deal with people who just don't understand.
