Generally, I'd say it's racist along the same lines as what dead0man said (and so many others also agreed with). Ethnoreligions are a tougher case; I'm generally inclined to give much more latitude, especially since I'm the living result of what happens when an ethnoreligious line of descent gets shunted off from one side of a family and spawns a bunch of confused, displaced, [Inks]ed-up descendants.

Yet ethnoreligion, at least amongst whites is pretty much a dead concept in the Upper Midwest and I don't see it causing us any problems.

And, as we all know, if it doesn't cause you any problems, then it couldn't possibly cause problems for or upset anyone. Also, I'm referring to Judaism, BRTD.

And as I've explained to DavidB are also incredibly assimilated here and outmarry with no controversy. Actually come to think of it every married Jew I know except one is married to a non-Jew,  and the one exception is not bothered at all by her son's engagement to a non-Jew.

Serious question though: What negative effects occur to people who come from mixed Jewish/non-Jewish marriages? Like I said, serious question, I've met such people in the past and never noticed any issues they had that could be related to that.
