But I suspect that wrt people who really CARE about religion (communities other than Reform Jews, for example) she is probably right.

You can't have it both ways - one can either convert to Judaeism, or not. And if you can have converts, Jews are not an ethnic group.

Someone's subjective view of the appropriate behaviour of the converted person is really not an issue.

And someone who is 22 generations descended from a convert who was not well looked upon by her peer group is a Jew, or not?

As I understand it, modern day Judeaism says you can convert, so Nadine's racist opinions are just Nadine's racist opinions.
