I've always wondered, where did the term "Jew" start being used? I noticed that in the Old Testament the word "Israelites" were used to describe the race. But then the word "Jew" didn't appeared til the New Testament.
Was the word "Jew" or "Jewish" just to mean all those who followed that particular religion (Judaism)?
As for interracial marriages, the only "negative" thing I have to say that is that sometimes the marriage could be more difficult if the two people are from very different cultures. I don't mean that it is a bad thing, just that it may require more time & effort for the two parties to adjust to each other.
I am a little surpised that in this generation / culture that people may still see interracial marriages in a negative light. I'm from a pretty traditional asian family but I don't see why I can't marry someone who isn't asian.
