I also want to mention that up until only the last couple of decades, it was socially unacceptable for whites to marry outside of their heritage. Italians married Italians, Irish married Irish, etc. Jews are still encouraged to marry other Jews, especially young men, since the heritage passes down from the mother. If a Jewish man marries a non-Jewish woman, the children are not Jewish. That's very bad in the grandparents' opinions.

I remember hearing that. My best friend growing up had a jewish father and non jewish mom. There were some wanna be skinheads that were totally cool with her. So being the nosey bia that I am asked why since her dad was jewish. They said that since her mother wasn't she was ok. They held the same belief for mixed race kids as well. As long as the mother was a white christian the offspring were fine. I don't get it but some things just aren't for me to understand.

I am married to a Jewish man, strict Jewish grandparents, and they were thrilled with our family and very proud of my kids. I still miss them.

Nothing is universal. But your kids would convert to the Jewish faith, rather than be born into it.

Decent women are very hard to find, therefor I see no need limiting opportunities based on race.

Depends on what you consider Decent care to give us your definition?

I do? I can't imagine why you would say that :confused:

Masey, how is me asking a question antagonistic? I don't even know Pete, I think I have said one word to his face and that was "hi".
It was pointed out that you seem to stalk a few of his posts specifically. Several people noticed. I just asked why.
No need for bunched panties. :bigwhoop:

I'd whip out my Ginsu and offer to "fix" him myself.
