*See bolded parts below for the main premise of this thread's discussion.*
As a disclaimer; this is an intended lead-on question. Nevertheless, this question may bring about personal cognitive dissonance to some users whom are grounded idealists in culture and in group preferences (such as preferences for their own ethnicity, nationality, race, etc.), but for others; a "no-brainer" per se whom don't feel as strongly as the former.
Nevertheless, hypothetically speaking, in this scenario, which of the two choices would you choose for your ideal spouse/partner?
A) A partner who is very culturally/racially similar to you in every sense of the word, but is the complete opposite of you personality-wise.
*As an aside; would you endure the relationship for the sake of your own firmly-held ideals of culture/nationality/personal identity? Or would break off the relationship/ being willing to break away from those ideals and pursue your own personal, individualistic preferences regardless of what is more socially accepted in your society? etc.
B) A very sexually attractive partner who satisfies you intellectually, sexually and emotionally that is like paradise on Earth, but is culturally and racially/ethnically foreign to you in every way.
* As an aside; would you still uphold/pursue the relationship even if it is culturally/societally stigmatized that is strongly looked down upon in your society. Would you risk being deemed an 'outcast'? Challenge the societal norms in order to defend your personal happiness? Pursuit/move away from the current society with like minded individuals? etc.
As you know, there is an obvious difference in each person's thinking/preferences. Merely a clash between globalist (New World) and traditionalist (Old World) mindsets in general; so between the two extremes; what would you choose personally?
These choices, in hindsight, merely tests one's resolve; to see which of the two extremes you orient towards; namely, hedonistic egoism (choice B) or resolute collectivism/idealism (choice A).
