<p>In 1982, the Shaare Tefila synagogue in White Oak, Maryland was vandalized by a group of neo-Nazis. The congregants filed a civil lawsuit which argued that, while the plaintiffs themselves were not claiming the status of “race,” they had clearly been discriminated by the vandalizers as a racial group and were therefore entitled to federal protection as such. They made this claim based on post-Civil War laws guaranteeing “all persons” [i.e. blacks] the same legal protections as “white persons.”</p><p>In other words, without explicitly saying so, the Jews, as historian <a href="http://www.jstor.org/pss/20101060">Naomi W. Cohen</a> put it, “were now claiming rights as an ethnic group,” not just as a religion.</p>
