A retraction would be better. Especially since what you’ve offered is a denial and not an actual explanation to any of[the many errors that were demonstrated in your previous claims.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13657573&postcount=134)

Again, your own words:  
-What behavior are you discussing?

> If I love you in every way but won’t marry you because you aren’t of the same religion

-What are you claiming that shows that a person is?

-What is your claim about the prevalence of this “elitist” and “racist” belief in the Jewish community?

> [@Stink Fish Pot](#):
>
> Many jews will only marry other jews.  
> […]  
> Apparently a LOT of jews do, not just my friends parent(s)

This is a very simple QED.

Yet again, your own words:
