Would a Punjabi marrying a Gujarati be considered to be marrying "outside the group"? Likewise, what about, say, a Goan-East Indian marriage?

My view is that Goa has been, and will be, a melting pot of different cultures and people. FN

Dear Fred,
I have asked this question before.
How many Goans are married to Negroes/Blacks? As compared to Goans married to Caucasians or Mongoloids? (I hope I'm using the correct racial terms- but you know what I mean)
Does say something about our prejudices doesn't it?

Cecil, Don't you mean Mongolian?
Mongoloid is a person physically challenged at birth, who, among much suffering, is distinguished by an Mongol-like physionomy: Hence labelled 'mongoloid'.
