Mostly correct, but genetic studies have shown that virtually all of the Ashkenazi (non-Semitic) Jews are related at the level of 7th cousin. The race thing is fluid, but the reality is that, historically, wherever Jews have lived in any numbers, they have self segregated. It is only in the last 150 years that people, regardless of their origin were NOT born, raised, married and died within 20 miles of their birthplace. That meant most people were related at some level.
