He said that the first time he brought her home to meet his parents, his father "complimented" her by saying that she didn't look Jewish, then got out his collection of WWII books to share with her. My co-worker later told me what he thought was a funny Auschwitz joke. I guess my reaction showed on my face, because he hastened to remind me that his wife is Jewish, which I guess means he's got Rabbinic clearance to tell Auschwitz jokes. So maybe there's something to be said for at least trying to be p.c.? OTOH…I used to work with a guy, who’s not Jewish, who married a Jewish woman.

I'm with her on the in-laws and their over-compensating but she lost me when she stated there's no one alive today that had anything to do with slavery. Okay lady, whatever; I'll let that one slide but how about all those years of Jim Crow and rampant in-equality across the country until like, um, 30 or 40 years ago. That wasn't very pleasant.
