A son I’d care less than a daughter.

But it wouldn’t have anything to do with being a democrat, just because I’d be playing the averages.

You said you were quite fast. You’re tall. If Ben has a taste for a schwartza, which it seems quite a few Jews do, and has your stature, you could be looking at a potential center fielder and not have to worry about stubhub.

In reality, no one much cares about who their kid marries unless the person is black. That’s more common than 6%, I agree. Especially our peers.


I feel like even most Hispanics are kind of where Italians were in the 60s and 70s and often almost thought of as white unless they just crossed the border.
Ben's mom has a Jewish grandma on her mom's side. That not only makes Ben 5/8 Jewish by blood, but 100% Jewish by "Jewish law".

As the US has become less religious over the years, most non-Jewish white families are not concerned if their kid marries a Jew. This concern really only takes place where they are religious, or at least religious enough to worry about the kids not being raised Christian. But that's getting into a whole different discussion.
LOL you’re mentioning what proportion Ben is “Jewish by blood”, when Ashkenazi Jews in modern time have so many non-Semitic European ancestors that less than 50% of their DNA on average is of Judean origin.

Which means that you, Druff, if both your parents are Ashkenazi, are likely less than 50% Jewish by actual blood!
