The point is that same culture marriages have a 50-50 chance ( and that doesn't mean that 50% who don't divorce are necssarily happy) and intercultural marriage in VN (and elsewhere perhaps) has a much higher rate of dissolution. So I guess you have some difficulty with reading comprehension.
I don't think you quite understand what YOU wrote.
50% of marriages end in divorce - THE SAME PERCENTAGE as those who marry those from another culture. If ANYTHING, this means that "marrying within your own culture" should be BETTER and have a LESS percentage of divorce. The fact that there is ONLY 50% divorce rate marrying outside your culture is FAR BETTER than that of within your culture.
So yeah... your point IS moot.
