There is no "opposites" involved in race and marriage.
Race doesn't always = society issues. My husband is from England and we struggled for a while when we first met to communicate and had a TON of misunderstandings despite the fact we're both white and speak english due to American understandings vs English. I also know a beautiful black lady married to a white man and they have no issues when it comes to mixing their families or in their own marriage.

Off-topic sidebar: What US media calls anti-immigration in the US is mostly anti-illegal immigration. Lumping the two together helps the media spin it better. I’m only mentioning it here because that point may not be known to observers overseas.
When interracial marriages fail in the US today, it's from the same essential factors that other marriages fail, financial pressures being at the top and unresolved personal expectations being the second factor.An Arizona pastor has taken to social media to question the wisdom of interracial marriage, characterizing his own marriage to a Latina woman as less than “ideal.”
Partridge is an author and pastor of King’s Way Reformed Church in Prescott, Arizona. He is known for posting provocative content regarding a variety of issues. In October, Partridge was at the center of online controversy after criticizing the “crack-sucking leggings” worn by a waitress where his family ate a meal.

Of course. Thats why I mentioned internal/ cultural issues. Add the cultural on top of the regular internal issues such as one spouse that was raised in a culture to also financially support their parents, etc., its a hard hurdle to jump.
I mentioned both. Some in society also making things difficult for the family.
That made a difference 50 years ago.
Still a problem adding to the difficulties. And it’s a fact that a lot of different races have different cultures. I have Latino friends that run a business here. As much as I enjoy their company there is no denying we have different cultures and ways of doing things. And as much as I enjoy those differences, there is no denying if it was a marital union there would be many issues that would come up that would be foreign to one another that would take a lot of adjustment and compromise not just within the marriage but the whole family dynamic.
Do you think that doesn't happen between Latinos of different cultures?
Did I say that? I think I’ve made myself clear enough. Not sure what you are trying to debate here.
