#Did I write the following paragraph properly (I know it's weird)

No. Definitely not. "Mischehen" is already pretty bad.
In Germany, the word "race/Rasse" is exclusively used in animal breeding.
Because it was mainly used during Nazi times, for "mixed" marriages of Jewish and "Aryan" people.
I don't think so.
I mean, saying Germans and Turks belong to different races seems simply ludicrous to me.
I have a question, too: what were those genocides? @torn pulsar
Well... wasn't the objective to write something in German? That's what you did, so, all good, isn't it? ;)
Well, a non-offensive way of talking about this would probably be "interkulturelle Ehen"
I didn't make it up, if that's what you mean? https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interkulturelle_Ehe
Probably. I mean, it's not as if "interkulturell" were a rare word. 🤷
"vom Land" = from the country, i.e. a farmer, somebody who lives in a village -> this makes no sense whatsoever, I'm afraid. ;)
Yes. Except, of course, there are a great many people from Turkish families in Germany, many of them with a German passport. Which is why I kept avoiding this option. 🤷
You said "aus einem anderen Land" = from a different country. So, wouldn't somebody whose grandparents or great-grandparents left Turkey for Germany also be "somebody from a different country"? Without being "objectionable" to the Turkish community?
