I think the question does not accurately encapture the decisions one would make to marry out of caste/race or tribe.  I am jatt and my husband is saini and it really wasn't an issue.  I guess because we live in Canada we're likely more lax and open with marrying across caste then perhaps if we lived in another part of the world. It only seemed to matter if you were still in undergraduate (university) when everyone's identity is more heightened.  After you graduate and are on your own in the working world and establishing yourself, I think your generally too busy to become fussed over such petty issues.  I don't think that caste will have any difference on how we practice our religion or raise a family as the religion is the same if you follow Sri Guru Granth Sahib.  However, although I married someone out of caste, I'm not sure if I would necessarily have married someone out of race.  The question appears to group everyone in the same category if you happened to marry out of caste.
