| Opening Mom's Eyes To New Era |

Dear Jellybean,
I’m Jewish and grew u in a pretty Jewish home and I go to a Jewish high school and everything but here’s the problem...
It’s not the situation now since I do have a crush on this boy who goes to my school (different story) but when I’m older and exploring the world I may find someone who isn’t Jewish who I like very much. My mom is the traditional Jewish mother, she wants me to marry a nice white, Jewish man. I’m not like that! I believe in equality and as long as the guy is nice to me and respects me (and is cute) I would be happy!
How can I get my mom to open her eyes that once I’m out of high school It will be a little bit harder to find HER dream guy for me?
My sister is now dating a non-Jew and its going great and no one minds it because he’s a nice guy but when I had a discussion with my mom and she told me this it bothered me. We live in new era and people intermarriage. I am very into keeping my family’s religion alive but it annoys me so much that she’s so set on this!
Any advice?
