Typically, it's supposed to be a smuggie gotcha, referring to the belief that Jesus was not a Jew religiously, even if he was racially (which is debatable in itself.)
However, they rarely elaborate this point to people who express your understandable confusion, instead laughing you off in scorn for not knowing their little inside joke.
This is why I always point out the very specific tidbit of Jesus being an *ethnic* Jew, which he was.
Didn't watch the links but I'm very familiar with the argument.
Recommend listening to the Stone Choir: Hebrews, Israelites, and Jews series. It's made for a Christian audience upfront, but still a digestible deep dive on the topic which is where I learned the most about it.
Notably, even they don't deny Jesus being a racial Jew, but still reconcile that with their case.
Which is the only thing I'm advocating for here, because trying to say Jesus wasn't a racial Jew is utter nonsense.
