Music: Intermarriage Rap Song - Why Jew Should Marry Jewish by Younghee Rhee

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctWJ1zKy0lA

Unlike Borat's song, this song focuses on disparaging Jewish culture specifically marriage ceremony. Most people respect other country's cultures but Jewish culture gets bashed in a lot of ways. Some people mock Hannukah for being similar to Christmas and isolate Jewish from Christmas saying that they have their own holiday when everybody deserves to enjoy Christmas. Jews marry Jews because it is their culture to do so. Like many countries try to preserve their Jews are doing the same thing. It may seem anachronistic but it is their way to carry out their traditions. Therefore, rather than mocking other cultures for being strange, we should respect other cultures as we respect our own.
