If this were true, physical stereotypes of Jews wouldn’t exist, and all the stereotypes would be cultural. Like “having a big nose” is a stereotype of Jews. That’s not something you get from a culture, it’s purely genetic. There is clearly a biological set of traits stereotypically associated with Jewish people.
It’s like saying “Irish people have red hair.” Yes I can move to Ireland and claim to be culturally Irish, but I’m not part of the genetic group that has these traits.

Irish people are also not a race. Even people that have red hair are not racially irish, they are white, of Irish ethnicity.
