Did I ever tell you about the time (two years, actually) I dated a Mennonite? And how her extended family, never having seen a Jew before, inspected me carefully, paying special attention to my feet?

Wait you guys got cloven feet? I could have dated a gal with cloven feet? Who wouldn’t want to do that? Why does nobody tell me these awesome things?
Did I almost forget this was the questions thread?

Weren’t they reasonably nice people who simply had been living in isolation for too long (where “too long”=centuries)? And weren’t they in any case infinitely more worldly than the distant cousins who had gone full-on Amish? Do you know, this was my first close encounter with a form of anti-otherness I thought had gone extinct in the middle ages, and made me permanently sensitive to the stereotypes society perpetrates about the physicality of other minority groups?
