Before the 1950s, the vast majority of non-observant Jews were of German descent, and the observant were of overwhelmingly Eastern European descent.

 JEWSWEEK - Are observant Jews racists?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The question was raised during the national political campaign in 2000, in the context of Senator Joseph Lieberman's vice presidential candidacy.
As an observant Jew, the senator was assumed to embrace Jewish religious tradition's view on intermarriage, a view unarguably and unambiguously negative.

Still, he said, many parents feel that a child who becomes very religious is critiquing his or her elders' way of life more than a child who shows little interest in Judaism.
In other cases the child comes to realize that he or she may have been a little self-righteous in the first blush of newfound passion.

In the end, apparently with the approval of Colet, he abandoned the hope of becoming a priest or religious, his decision being due to a mistrust of his powers of perseverance.
