Post #8: Inter-racial, and inter-ethnicity marriage

I come from what would be considered an inter-ethnicity marriage. My father is Jewish and my mother is Christian. Even though most wouldn't expect it, my parents faced a lot of stigma from our own family. That stuck around for alm ost twenty years, but there is a brighter side to all of this. My parent's courage to marry outside of their ethnicity lead to a good amount of my relatives to inter-ethnically marry. Though this may not seem to mean much, it is something that needs to be learned to be accepted more often in soiety.
