How Jewishly ethnic was Sammy Davis jr.?

I don't think even his mother was Jewish, but he converted.

Conversion is allowed, but it's not easy. The convert will still be viewed warily in many communities to see if she really looks at the world and behaves in a Jewish way.

Just because conversion is permitted, says nothing against Judaism being an ethnically based religion, which it is.
