Who says they started with very different assumptions? Order of preference: 1. White non-jew 2. White jew 3. Black He changed his name so he could get by more easily as the top-ranked preference. For her, a non-jew white name would be hard to distinguish from black. She chose the name that more affirmatively promoted her above the lowest ranked spot. I doubt either of them would disagree with the above ranking order, though.
