I would say the answer is 'any of the above' with race in and of itself not being the highest on the list. I think its quite the jump to say that just because race is different, so is religion. In today's world we have every race practising every religion. I wouldn't advise interfaith marriages; in fact I've seen several not work. But using examples isn't any valid proof of anything.
I think a really strong religious Hindu of Indian descent would be wiser to bless a daughter's marriage to a white Hindu than an Indian Christian. This is mostly because race is superficial whereas religion is much deeper.
