In my mixed marriage...
My wife is efficiently logical, I am a ping-pong ball when it comes to things.

Your initial confusion is understandable...
...because "mixed" can be applied in many different contexts.

"Mixed Marriage" is in the eye of the beholder. What is "mixed" to one is normal to another. I grew up believing that a Baptist and a Catholic made a mixed marriage.

I took the quote as meaning that yes even between family traditions of the
same society there are differences. My daughter-in-laws follow their Mum's traditions for Christmas etc and they are different to mine.

I understand your explanation. Along with Ash's on Straightforward's comment page, you seem to have a reasonable interpretation of what the author intended.

I think truly it is true for the most part.
At least here, people are from all different types of backgrounds...
French, English, German, Italian, etc..
Even if it's not first or second generation...I think many people have at least some of these in their ancestry.
I know my grandmother was German, my grandfather met her in Germany.
My last name is French, so somewhere down the line, some of my ancestors had to be of French origin...and I'm sure there are many others also that I am not fully aware of.
So to marry someone, it's like you're truly getting a mixed variety.

Let me rewrite this. I do not know the context in which this quote was made. Yet probably, the auditor has achieved what he intended. He has all of us guessing.
