Default Ringo Starr - Is he a jew or what?

I've always thought that he's a jew. I even found this:

Quote:
Born in Liverpool, England, Starr's parents split up when he was young; his mother, a person of Jewish descent, remarried Harry Graves. He was raised in the working class Dingle area of Liverpool.

But then in an interview in Montreal, Ringo Starr says that he's not Jewish.

Quote:
Ringo Starr. When the Fab Four arrived in Montreal on the morning of September 8, they learned from local papers that death threats were being made against Ringo. "Some people decided to make an example of me as an English Jew," recounted Ringo in The Beatles Anthology. "The one major fault is, I’m not Jewish."

So what is it? Jew or not?
