I'm one of those Jews who gets the "What? You're Jewish?" response a lot. My very solid British surname doesn't help. But I am... in fact, my mother's birth certificate says "Jewish" for race, because in 1926 in Springfield, Missouri, the white people didn't want Jews called white.

And I had a room-mate named Caitlin McLoughlin; her father is a Scottish Jew.
