I could be very "misinformed" in this issue, and I am definitely open for the final answer based on the Scripture.
Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Colossians 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
The point being that "nationality" or "race" is not a factor at all in Christ. Why make it a factor in marriage?

There are all sorts of things that make people good matches for each other; things about a man that will make him a good husband and things about a woman that will make her a good wife. But bringing race or nationality into it and saying it's either "wrong or right" because of an outward thing like that is the wrong thing to do.
