FWIW I agree with the comments here that suggest including American Jews in one big PoC category only confuses the issue. White supremacists might not be interested in granular differences in what they consider Other, but that doesn't mean we have to play along. And, as someone also pointed out, the history of opportunities available to Jewish-Americans in publishing is different than for African-Americans—and that's only one aspect of different ethnic experiences. For that matter I'd suppose you can break Jewish experiences in America into those of Ashkenazi background and those of Sephardic background.

In other words, you'd have to break non-white into different categories, and while that would be interesting I'd think it's too late to go back and do that now to your entire reviewing history.
