I'm on my phone typing from an airport so I dont really have the typing ability to flesh out my arguments here, but semetic duea I've never heard of a single orthodox rabbi who will accept someone as a Jew based on patrelinial descent. In fact the opposite, I heard of a girl who was asked to leave a seminary in israel when she mentioned her mother wasn't Jewish. Very sad IMO.

I've also never heard of converts being treated differently. In the eyes of Halacha they're as any born Jew and to treat them badly is a serious sin. Doesn't the Torah talk about being kind to the stranger and convert amongst you? Anyways if a convert gets treated differently that's just someone being an asshole, not emblematic of Jews at large. I know a few converts and they've never had any issues.
