re: #152 windsagio

I’m not sure mentioning Jews is entirely helpful, because they’re, well, kinda a special case.

It’s an extreme case, and SFZ and I did a little sub-thread on it just yesterday. My point remains, we are mentally wired for “stick with your own”, and it takes some conscious effort to grow out of that. Even now, I’m open minded about dating any possible ethnicity but it helps when they’re also middle class like me, educated about like me, shares certain values like me. The “stick with your own” thing is still kind of there, just not in the ethnic sense. Back to the original point, the Brazilian Confederados being totally ethnically mixed is remarkable and a good thing, which was my original point.
