[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]- people who appropriate the ethnicity/culture of their spouse and preen around promoting every cliche of said culture.  FYI: your in-laws don’t like you.
- people who think their spouse’s profession somehow makes them the same profession.  “As the wife of a surgeon…”

I have three of these in my family (spouse's culture appropriators) and their in-laws seem to love them because they have completely "gone native."[/quote]

Btw, my crazy mother used to give people medical advice based on the fact that she was a dr’s wife and this is sorta mean but after I got my phd we made a point of referring to my husband as “a doctors husband” and every time she told us she was a doctors wife my husband went on about being a doctor’s husband. He offered a lot of opinions about Chinese politics since that was the subject of my dissertation [/quote]

That show is very broadly drawn and super stereotypical about Jews, but this is a real thing. I have known several women who married into Jewish families and became more outspoken/observant than their Jewish husband. In one case it was extra weird because she didn't covert, but was very into posting about Jewish holidays and culture on social media and would often interject "as a mother of Jewish children" into conversations and I found it very irritating. It borders on fetishism, like those men who marry much younger Asian women (not Asian-American, just they go to China or Thailand or Singapore and find a wife) and then go on and on about their interest in orientalism. It gives me an icky feeling.[/quote]
