I just read the line "I am not against multiethnic families in principle" from a nominally leftist account before they went on to expound on how only a few people are qualified to form one and you know what, fuck Americans and all their works. Full offence.
There is absolutely no qualifying statement you can make to your idea that multiethnic families are inherently abusive that makes it less insane, and in no world will it be an interesting point, because people falling in love and having babies is an intrinsic good.
Now I have to wonder if they would consider my parents to be from different ethnicities or if I am in a multiethnic marriage. I guess it depends on whether they think Jews are white and not an ethnicity.
The only good answer I've come up with to that question is "the white ones are". I asked Dad about it once and he said he got some bigotry when he married Mom but aside from stressing it wasn't from family or other folks I knew he didn't want to talk about it and I had no reason to pry.
That would've been in the 70s, for the record. The quippy summary I go with about the weirdness of Jews and ethnicity is "I was born white, my mother wasn't but is white, and my grandpa was never white." But that's just my family.
