Salaamu Alaikum:
<b>"All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves."</b>
Taken from the Farewell Speech of Rasoolullah.
I think if we live by this then our marriage to anyone will not suffer no matter what nationality they are from.
We have to start guiding our lives and mentality by what the Qur'an and Sunnah teach us and discard our ways of thinking culturally and in some cases, in a racist way.
