As a Jewish person I feel weird seeing "whites" being broken into Jewish and non-Jewish. What about other religions? Why include religion at all?
In particular with respect to Harvard and Boston I'd think Catholicism might deserve a mention if we're going to bring religion into this.
In the end I think religious diversity is important but it doesn't belong in the same conversation. You can choose your religion and also turn it on/off at different phases of your life. You also can't see religion from the outside (with some exceptions for example a Sikh turban).

That's not true for race.
