I think this all boils down to people tend to be more comfortable with those with a similar background. When my mom died, I had to find household help for my father who was suffering from Parkinsons disease. One of the first questions that the agency asked me is "what religion is your father?"
I don't know if this is right or wrong but it sure is the way life is. My parents always insisted that I date "ONLY JEWISH BOYS" and they encouraged me to have Jewish friends. Their reasoning was "you're most comfortable with one of your own".
