Here's how we play the game. Below are two quotes, one is from a leading evangelical minister and the other was a Nazi Reich Minister , but which was which?
A. "Christ could not possibly have been a Jew. I don't have to prove that scientifically. It's a fact"
B. "But we can establish for you clearly apart from these phases of identity that Jesus Christ is not a Jew"
So lets all put on our thinking caps and see if you can;
Spot the Nazi!

Those who guessed A were correct.
A. was Joseph Goebbels quoted in The Nation, February 6,1935 B. was Dr. Wesley A. Swift, http://biblestudy.wckkkk.org/jesus.htm

Not knowing, I will guess A. But your point is well taken either way. The trouble with your 'game' is that Nazis were devout christians almost to a man. So are preachers. Same thing in the end.
Both deny Jesus was a Jew, but only one also slips in a bit of disrespect for science which is a trademark of evangelical Christians. 'A' must be the evangelical minister and 'B' must be the Nazi.
On the whole, most evangelicals and fundamentalists consider Jesus to have been a Jew. It's only when you start looking at the fringe cases that you find this sort of thinking. On the other hand, there are a lot of widely varying "fringe cases" in these groups - you've got YECers, KJVers, snake handlers, "dark skin is the mark of Ham"-ers, etc...
