American Indians and Jews
An American Indian comes back to the Reservation to visit with his parents after spending some time in New York . He tells his father that he's fallen in love with a nice Jewish girl.
His father is mortified and says, "You're betraying your heritage and you'll break your mother's heart that you're not marrying a precious Indian girl....and you know how Jews are, they'll feel the same way and you'll be ostracized in both camps!"
The Indian son reassures his father, "Don't worry. The Jewish family has already accepted the situation because they've gone ahead and given their daughter an Indian name."
"Really?" asks the father. "What name?"
The son answers... "Sitting Shiva."
