Gentiles don't care about this, despite "RW" Jews' best insistence that they do.
White Americans are just White Americans, and the vast majority are already mixed, and wouldn't think twice about marrying another White (or even non-White, in many cases) person.
Westerners as people have much loser, egalitarian, and meritocratic social structures, and it's pointless (and increasingly transparently foolish) to claim similarities.
He does belong to a liberal not-really-Jewish denomination.
Also I don't undestand what double standard, does he (or any Jews for that matter) advocates that the gentiles should intermarry across ethnic groups?

Nobody cares who the Jews are allowed to marry or not marry, or how converts are treated. People have freedom of religion, and if the Jewish religion has certain rules or attitudes, that's fine.
What people don't like is Jewish organizations insisting they're liberal, universal, egalitarian, accepting, and that they're basically just like other religions and ethnic groups that are lauded and exemplary in the west. They do this because much of Jewish political advocacy depends on such equivocation.
Doesn't matter. Palestinians are a more broadly defined category, much like other nationalities. It's the Israeli nationality which places odd constraints, in addition to adding the "religious" dimension, which is oddly defined.

This is no longer possible in an era where Jews have political freedom, and remaining Jewish is a matter of choice and personal conviction. There is a point, a very easy point, at which one arrives where there is no meaningful distinction between him and his non-Jewish neighbor.
If they eat the same foods, share the same names, have more or less the same appearance, listen to the same music, consume the same media, then at some point you end up grasping at straws in order to find distinctions, and those straws end up being not what is special, unique, and worthwhile preserving in your own culture, but what is deficient and lacking in the broader world.
That is to say, the justification to remain Jewish doesn't rest with a positive value, but with a negative force -- that of antisemitism, oppression, and so on, that is magnified and maximized in order to justify the political separation on behalf of a barely extant Judaism.
If you take identity seriously, you build your home around it.
A committed ethical vegan doesn’t just avoid meat. They structure their entire life around that conviction: what they eat, what they wear (not just food, but clothing too), what they teach their children. That commitment often extends into adjacent issues such as animal testing, pharmaceutical ethics, and even stances on vaccines.
It also shapes who they associate with, which communities they feel at home in, which businesses they support, and what kind of world they want to help build.
It is not a diet. It is a worldview.
So when that person marries someone who eats meat daily, the conflict is not just at the dinner table. It shows up in parenting decisions, in grocery lists, in holiday traditions, in friendships and social settings, and in the architecture of shared life.
I remembered this one expression in Yiddish, and couldn't find it in text anywhere
א שאקל א ריר
a shokl, a rihr
I wonder if it's something familial, or more widely used?
