My family is Jewish. My father preached to us the merits of judging a man or woman by thier spirit. My Grands were not quite so ... forward thinking. By the time I came of an age of dating I only had one Grand left and she was bound and determined that I would settle with a nice Jewish boy ... yeah right! Eventually, she kind of gave up on that idea.
Some holiday or event or other I took my oldest's father to a family "thing". When she thought I was out of earshot, she made a comment about his background. We politely left.
The next time we had a family event I showed up with a georgous blond haired, blue eyed, couldn't be more German if he wanted to be, stud. Yes, this was a willful and intentional act on my behalf. Things went great until Grand started grilling him about his family history, which I'd banked on. What I didn't know until then was my Grand could swear!
My parent's son is a little wanna be aryan or something ... I don't let him around my kids cause they simply don't need to be subjected to that. Racism aside he's a wretched fuck of a human being and wants the whole world to join him in his misery.
On the other side Pain has been subjected to and shielded me from crap from the women of his family. My mother in law is a very imposing woman and while we dated she was of the opinion that a black man should not try to rise above his station and mingle with ... yeah this part gave her pause cause I don't identify as white, I identify as human ... ( you want to drive the census department crazy write that in on your form! ) ... but she still didn't like it. His aunts shared the same view to some degree. Time has mellowed most of that crap.
Should something crop up ... we simply deal with it, let it go and move on.

My cousin Michael married a girl from South Jersey.....we love her anyway......

Owww! That's gotta hurt!

Hey...I'm a North Jersey Sicilian originally from Bayside, Queens. I have no idea what you're talking about, but a few of my cousins will be visiting you in a few days. 8)

Aileen, none of the guys on my brother's wife's side of the family work but they all live in nice houses and drive nice cars.
Oh wait, one of them is a real hustler, he's holding down two "no show" jobs for some Union!

Hey, wait a minute, that brother hasn't had a "job" in years now!

I hate to be the one to rain on the rainbow coalition, but in WV there aren't a whole lot of mixed families, but there are a whole lot of mixed babies with no daddies.
Do you know what I mean???

This is a beautiful story, BlueHnS.

My best friend all through high school and college was an Orthodox Jew, with Holocust survivors in her family. Her mother was one of the finest people I have ever know -- taught me the true meaning of charity, among other things.

Eventually my friend moved to California, married a Puerto Rican, and dealt with very similar bullsh*t.

I tip my hat to people who have 'made it work' in the racist world we live in.
