Well, FWIW my mother is half Shanghai and half Cantonese. The two were (and I believe still are) different socio-economic classes within Chinese culture, and even speak different dialects. It might be akin to a rich Yankee liberal woman marrying a Southern poor white trash man. Not different ethnicities, but possibly different cultures or at least sub-cultures.
Not in response to your comment, but is there a specific word for people with a Jewish father but not-Jewish mother?
