Real talk until Ashkenazim get questioned about their Jewishness every time they enter a Jewish space y’all can’t claim the JOC label. Sorry not sorry. Let me tell you about experiences I had in America.
Legit once I went to a reform synagogue for a bar mitzvah with a white goyish friend and they told my friend to guide me and asked me if it was my first time to a synagogue??? I was like b*tch I’m fresh out of orthodoxy don’t @ me.
Then when I was still religious I went to a Jewish fundraiser and some dude called me over because he thought I was catering staff!!!! Then at a friends of IDF event thing I was talking to the soldiers in Hebrew and this older guy asked me if we were speaking Spanish
Bec my racially ambiguous face couldn’t have been speaking hebrew!! I’m so glad I’m in Israel and I never once got questioned like this.

So y’all can leave the JOC label alone and for us only. Y’all can stop pretending you don’t know what JOC refers to.
