[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you are married and have children, you share the same culture and ways of doing things regardless of your own ethnic background. She probably means that she is part of the community.[/quote]

No she literally said “I am a minority now.” Not “I am part of this community now.”

Also, her husband is not religious and the don’t really observe the high holy days beyond saying “chag sameach” or similar in an email— I know because I’ve asked about getting together for holidays and they don’t do anything. Maybe they observe Hanukkah at home, I’m not sure. But she is definitely not part of the Jewish community.

I know many Jews married to non-Jews and have NEVER encountered this before.[/quote]

If that's what she said then yeah that's weird! I think some white people here feel like they are not special enough. I am white too but from another continent and it struck me that lots of people would refer to  themselves as "just plain" "just a regular American". So at the same time they consider themselves to be the norm but they also feel inferior about not being special enough. Complicated![/quote]
