As a Jewish man just out of a long-term relationship with a black woman, I think there’s definitely a much higher rate of intermarriage between our groups. And at my university (admittedly fairly close to NY), I could pretty much guarantee to you that every biracial student was Jewish.

I suspect it must be related to the reasons that only blacks and Jews seem to make great comedians, though I can’t put my finger on it.

Also, I’m sure our socially liberal families have a big impact. When my girlfriend and I broke up, my parents tried to disown me and claim her. No joke. “You’re making a huge mistake, son… Is there any amount of humiliating groveling you could do that might be able to get her back?”
