Currently, 23andMe's system of ancestry reports places Ashkenazi Jews under the umbrella header of "European". This categorization is highly problematic.
Various sources on your site (https://blog.23andme.com/ancestry/the-uniqueness-of-ashkenazi-jewish-ancestry-is-important-for-health/) and other sites that discuss the genetics of Ashkenazi Jews indicate that (despite some infusion of European DNA) Ashkenazi Jews are, on the whole, more closely related to other Jewish ethnic groups than we are to other groups that you label as "European".
Furthermore, by classifying Ashkenazi Jews as "European", 23andMe contributes to the problem of framing Ashkenazi Jews as a "white" people. This framing is very harmful to a highly persecuted people. Jews (including Ashkenazi Jews) are an indigenous population of the Middle East and do not enjoy white privilege - and attempts to frame Ashkenazi Jews as "white" (aka "European") have never succeeded in actually endowing Ashkenazi Jews with white privilege, and if anything, has interfered with effort to seek redress from the oppression that Jews (Ashkenazi Jews especially) face.

Including a page on the 23andMe website explaining the rationale for classifying Ashkenazi Jews as "European" might reflect that 23andMe is aware that Ashkenazi Jews are indigenous to the Middle East. However, inclusion of such a page would not do much to dispel the notion that Ashkenazi Jews are "white" people.
Therefore, we the undersigned (both Ashkenazi Jews, as well as our allies) ask that 23andMe revise its criteria for determining under which umbrellas they categorize ethnicities so as to allow Ashkenazi Jews to be properly classified alongside other Jewish populations in a manner that reflects our shared Middle Eastern origins.
