there are plenty of Latinos who are Jewish, it's a religion/culture, not a race/ethnicity.
Yes, this is important point to remember: there are Jews all over the world. But I'm pretty sure this is a matter of vague, short-cut ethnic descriptions. I think the assumption here is that the label "Jewish girl" is being attached to girls of European stock, raised in America (hence the thread title). With "Hispanic" or "Latino," I'm pretty sure we're talking about the ethnically mixed (Mestizo/White/Afro-Latino) types with origins in the countries of Latin America.
There are "Hispanics" that are "Jewish" and brown, and there are "Hispanics" that aren't "Jewish" and are white. When we start getting into exception territory, it starts getting confusing.
