This is something I think about a lot too. There's a book called "How Jews Became White Folks" (I've only read selections) that does what it says on the tin (for white european jews, at least). There's a lot of overlap in experiences with the process for Eastern and Southern European immigrants in the US, though a little earlier in time because peak immigration was earlier. And it might be starting to happen for some East Asian immigrant communities in the US.
I have lots of scattered thoughts on this. Obvi I engage with (european) Jewish culture a lot, but I do notice that it has an effect on my social circle, and I also find myself fighting a lot with conservative members of my ethnic group about the way they talk about and use our shared history of oppression.
