Nationality is of no importance to me. I need to be with someone compatible, thoughtful, kind, funny and intelligent , someone I can respect and trust. Beyond that I couldn't care less where they're from. I am French and have been with a Brit for over 19 years now , before that I had a serious relationship with an American and also dated other nationalities, and races.
People are people. Yes as human beings we do tend to congregate with other similar people but I also think that as individuals we can all transcend race and culture. It's just a question of giving people a chance and being open minded ( it needs to be on both sides though).
A friend of mine is married to a Moroccan Muslim and they have a wonderful marriage as he is moderate and educated.
I think you need to know exactly what you want in life and from your relationship and go into it with open eyes.
Cultural and ethnic barriers, are difficult to surmount but they should not be dismissed out of hand, otherwise you might miss out on the love of your life.
