"All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action." - Prophet Muhammad (SAW)'s last sermon.
O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allah is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa [i.e. he is one of the Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2)]. Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware. (49:13)
Also, God made people of different shapes, colours and genetic makeup as a sign of his creativity, so none of this "I can only marry someone from my country" nonsense. I have yet to meet the offspring of two people who are really far apart, genetically, that isn't beautiful, which is what you'd expect; farther apart, means more DNA combinations since there are fewer duplicates!
Also, don't call people by hurtful or derogatory names.
O you who believe! Let not a group scoff at another group, it may be that the latter are better than the former. Nor let (some) women scoff at other women, it may be that the latter are better than the former. Nor defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. How bad is it to insult one's brother after having Faith [i.e. to call your Muslim brother (a faithful believer) as: "O sinner", or "O wicked"]. And whosoever does not repent, then such are indeed Zalimun (wrong-doers, etc.). (49:11)
I know, sometimes people call each other mean names in fun, but we probably shouldn't; you never know, although they may not show it, they may really be hurt!
