An interesting question: how much Jewish DNA must you have in order to be considered “too genetically tainted to be considered White”? If you have 1/4 Jewish DNA? If you have 1/8 Jewish DNA? Patrilineal vs. matrilineal is also important, because “Jewishness” is much more important on the female side of things. Orthodox Jewish religious law defines a Jew as: “a person born of a Jewish mother.”

“My wife’s father was an ashkenazi jew. He died when she was young but was by all accounts a loving, intelligent, and productive man who was not involved in stereotypically jewish politics or activism. My wife was not raised as a jew, though she is of course genetically 1/2 ashkenazi, and thus our children are, on average, genetically 1/4 ashkenazi.”
