She's into me, but she tries to suppress her feelings and refuses to give me a chance. Help!

23 y.o. male. Thought I finally found the missing piece in my life after all these years. She and I are really compatible, and I honestly can't get enough of her. I know she feels the same way about me. I know this because she told me so and she gives me all the signs of interest (the way she kissed me one night, the way she dances on me, the way she carries herself around me). However, she doesn't wanna give me a chance to be her man because of our different backgrounds. She's Jewish, I am a non-religious Asian. She first rejected me last weekend when I asked her out and let me know she can't be involved with me only because I am not Jewish. I was hurt deeply and avoided her for about a week. Then she texted me and asked me to go to this party with her. I grudgingly agreed to go to the party, but I could tell she really missed me when we interacted at the party. I walked her home and then kissed her just to see her response. She didn't let go of my lips. We had a long heart-to-heart talk about our feelings and the future of our relationship/friendship. We didn't really reach any conclusions, but I learned

1) She's strongly attracted to me. She told me I am a total package she should not miss out on.

2) However, she tries not to like me because she feels that our relationship is going to eventually fail due to our differences in backgrounds. She says we should just be friends no matter how long it takes for the intense attraction to die out.

She's looking too far ahead and is afraid to give it a try. We are failing to persuade each other, and I am only getting hurt and frustrated. Help!
