Why is being Jewish considered an ethnicity?

Asked by yaujj48 (1176points) March 18th, 2021

I did some research on Jews and they are consider ethnoreligious group. While I accept the terms, I wonder why Jews are consider an ethnic? Is it something to do with the history of Israel before the exodus?

It confuses me since Judaism is religion and not all Jews practice Judaism. So what is the history behind Jews?
