Talk:Ruth Dreifuss

"the first Jew"
Dreifuss is "of Jewish background/origins", but she isn't actively practicing Judaism as a religion (or if she has started to since her retirement, the article isn't aware of it). It is thus slightly misleading or needlessly racialist to call her "the first Jew" in the federal council. It's not like "Jew" is any kind of official demographic classification in Switzerland. dab (𒁳) 08:03, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
