I mostly agree with number. I really dont know if marrying a Nepali girl/guy will make our parents happy or not but I do know that cultural compatibility between a guy and a girl in a relationship is very important. Yeah..of course we can fall in love with anyone of any race or culture..but hey...different cultures do not see same things in similar ways..and it is the reason why frictions arise. And many of these frictions for a long period of time wil ultimately lead to unhappy marriage unless both of you are willing to reconcile the differences. If both of you are willing to make big adjustments and if you both have great flexibility (which of course comes at a price) then go for interracial-intercultural marriage. If you DO NOT want to pay the price of big adjustments in the first place...go for more compatiable partner.
