Well 'Jewish' as far as I know, isn't a physical description.
My tall friend could work.
The way I look at it, if I have to describe someone, I will, but if I just want to say 'my friend Darryl said something funny' I'm not going to say 'my black friend Darryl said something funny'. If I had to explain who Darryl was I might qualify the color of his skin so as to differentiate him from someone else.
