Is It Racist?

In this article Johann Levy made an Iphone app called " A Jew or Not A Jew" which allows users to search its database by entering a celebrity's name or to search by categories of celebrities. The creator of this database believes this is not racist in any way. He believes many people like himself are interested in knowing if certain celebrities are Jewish or not. I personally believe it is fine to inquire about if someone is Jewish but to have a database listing every celebrity that is Jewish can become a problem. People can start to use this app in an incorrect way. That would be like if someone came up with an app to find out every African American celebrity. I really do not think people would be too pleased about it. I believe it is one thing to be proud of who you are and your commonalities with other individuals but there is a fine line that really should not be crossed like with this particular app.
