Hmmm. I differ on this one, Avira. People choose others similar to them not because there is supremacism, but because different groups value different things. Some people run after money and smartphones, others go for learning and higher levels of erlichkeit.
A rebbish family taking a modern boy for a rebbish girl just makes no sense. They wouldn’t be on the same page, wouldn’t understand each other, wouldn’t want the same things.
It would be introducing conflict where there should be none.
I get the divisions in shidduchim, even though I didn’t when I was in shidduchim. I wanted rebbish… And now, I realize that I’m pashut not on that level. That’s fine. I wasn’t created to be the same.
