IUseBrains: So while you admit it is okay to not want to marry a Satmer Chosid, MO or Bukharian Jew, you say that’s only because “there is not much of a difference between the mentality of a mainstream american”. Yet you do not complain that a totally Americanized MO/YU wouldn’t marry a totally Americanized Litvish/Lakewooder. Both are totally American. Ahhh. There is a difference of hashkafah and minhagim! Yes, there is even a bigger difference in minhagim between Sefardim and Ashkenazim, then between an MO and Litvak. You are okay with not wanting to marry someone because of “a difference in mentality” regarding nationality etc., but you are not okay with not wanting to marry someone because of “a differene in mentality” regarding minhagim or hashkafa? That is a much more important that nationality/mentalities.
