First of all "Mennonite" is not a race or ethnicity, it is a religion. The Mennonite religion was started by Menno Simmons a dutch catholic priest. During theanabaptist movement in Europe during the 1500s Menno Simmons broke away from the catholic church and joined the anabaptist movement. His followers were called mennist's which was a slang term and that is where "mennonite" came from. Mennonites are people who follow the mennonite religion. They come from all different backgrounds and ethnicity's. There are asion, African, Mexican, English, russion, "mennonites"etc. Even when it first started the "mennonite" religion had followers from all different peoples not just one specific kind of people.
Menno Simons founded the Mennonite Church in Friesland, which is now part of Holland.
The Mennonites first settled in the state of Pennsylvania. The Mennonites who first migrated over to the United States were primarily of German ancestry.

No. The Mennonites do not embrace the idea of outsiders coming into marriage within the churches community. Marriage is a very serious step for a Mennonite. marriage to an outsider is highly prohibited and would not be accepted by any Mennonite order that I know of. If you swayed a Mennonite to marriage would not yourself be considered Mennonite nor would your ex-mennonite spouse.
