There are Jews who did not and do not have Jewish parents.  They convert.  
And they are multi-ethnic, multi-national and multi-racial in origin.  No, they 
are not all Ashkenazi. 

Moreover, millions of people in over one hundred different countries all over 
the world attain citizenship in a country on the basis of who their parents 
are because they can answer yes to the following two questions:

1.  Were you born in this country?

No American official ever asked me about what I say or do as a basis of 
conferring American citizenship. I got it automatically because I was born in the 
U.S. and my parents were citizens.
