[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The other thing that is somewhat irksome (but not totally) is the assumption that because the law partner is Jewish and the woman in question is Jewish they should be set up.  That's such a flimsy basis for matchmaking.[/quote]

Really? Every Jewish friend I have had told me on a weekly basis how they needed to marry someone Jewish. I dated a Jewish guy for four years and he and his parents told me on a weekly basis how we could only get married if I would convert. I did not.[/quote]

Well, your Jewish friends are atypical because a very large percentage of us do marry outside the faith.

They are not atypical. My ex also told me how important it was for their family to always give their business to other Jews. They would only go to Jewish doctors, dentists, colleges with high % of Jews, etc. As a Catholic I was shocked. I would never have picked a dentist because they were Catholic.[/quote]

Blacks do that all the time, as do other groups.

It's simple human nature, I don't see it as bad frankly.[/quote]

I promise you it would be highly problematic if a woman said, "He doesn't date dark skinned women, but you're light enough that he may go for you", which is our version of this Jewish scenario. Same if she went the other way and said, "He only dates white women or light skinned women or Latinas" or whatever. The implication is that you're less-than but will do. And that's mighty inappropriate.
