It seems to be human nature to attack anyone who doesn't conform to "social norms" and Jews have been steadfast in maintaining their beliefs in the face of enormous persecution.
There is a notion that if we let you be an exception we will have to let everyone follow their own beliefs then where would we be? Everyone thinking for themselves? Oh the horror!
Still it cuts both ways Rhisiart that she or her family could not tolerate you maintaining your own beliefs in the marriage. A friend of mine is married to a Jewish girl, with what I would call quite superstitious Jewish beliefs, but they seem perfectly happy.
I was aware of how much pressure can come from the spouse's family when I married across racial boundaries. But in the end they forgive you! Not necessarily the daughter though for having "let them down"!
Racism is always something white people do!
