This is not just black and white. Any race has it's cultures and beliefs. When you fall in love, you don't consider what effect these differences will have on you and your marriage. I feel when the bible speaks of not being unequally yoked, it meant more than just religion. They also have to deal with the way society treats both them and their children.

Number one, the warning against marrying from other nations was because the other nations in the Bible were heathen nations. Number two, whether black, white, Latino, Asian, or whatever other ethnic group found in the USA, we are all still Americans and have much more in common than we don't. Lastly, to suggest being unequally yoked has anything whatsoever to do with marrying someone of another color is absurd, preposterous, and racist.
