White people who claim minority status bc their spouse is a minority?

She is white, raised Catholic, born in the US to white parents also born in the US. She did not convert to Judaism when they married and does not intend to (considers herself an atheist).

She says his minority status applies to her now because they are a “mixed-ethnicity” couple, and because their kids will be Jewish.

What am I missing here? This seems insane to me. If I were her spouse I’d find it personally offensive. Is this something other people do?? Have never heard of it before.


That’s insane. I married a black man. I’m still white
