Yes.
Amish accept converts from all races. It's very uncommon to have a dark-skinned Amish, because not a lot of converts are dark-skinned.
However in some communities there may be a little discrimination, particularly if the mixed-race couple decide to have a child. But, generally, most communities are accepting of this.
You should bear in mind that excluding someone because of their race or skin colour is a violation of your Human Rights. So if you are rejected by an Amish community because of skin colour, wave a copy of the Human Rights Act in their face and threaten to sue. Just because the Amish choose to live in the "past", it does not make them above the law.
The Amish-Mennonites and the Conservative Mennonites are said to be the most open groups of Amish and the communities with the most mixes of ethical races.
Your best bet is to visit the Amish and ask the elders.

Should blacks and whites marry?
With a few exceptions, our civilization has abandoned the idea of arranged marriages long ago. Nobody should force anyone to marry someone that he/she doesn't WANT to marry. So, to answer your question: A black person and a white person should not be required to marry. However, if a black person and a white person want to marry, that's entirely the decision of the two of them.
Are there black Amish people?
The Ammish may claim not to "hate" black people but that does not mean they ALLOW them to intermingle with them or their families or their gatherings and that also includes interracial unions being formed between those who black and those who are Ammish (white) Those who say the Ammish do not hate black people are only giving half a story. Hate does not have to be open or publicly done but it can be silently and privately practiced. 1. Several say the Ammish do not hate black people because they do not judge according to Matthew 7: 1. Certainly they do not judge with words but their lack of associations with those who are black as well as lack of interracial unions and lack of mixtures in their communities do show that some form of judging had to have taken place in order to keep their communities the way that it is presently is. 2. Several misquote scrptures such as Genesis 6:9, Genesis 24:2-4, and Lev. 21:14 stating that God wants all to stick to their own race. A ridiculous and absurd misquotation of scripture. God is NOT against interracial union in fact. He grafted in those who belong to the Gentile racial heritages (called the wild olive tree in the Bible) be they black, Asian or Hispanic into the Jewish racial heritage who are called the olive tree in the bible. God also does NOT see interracial unions as wrong because in Christ ALL are ONE and are ALL His Children (Romans 11: 17 and Galatians 3: 26-29).
Why are some Amish prayer caps white while others are black?
The color of Amish prayer caps varies among different Amish communities and affiliations, reflecting their distinct traditions and values. White caps are commonly worn by more progressive groups, while black caps are typically associated with more traditional or conservative Amish. These color choices can signify different levels of adherence to modesty or community standards, as well as differences in cultural identity within the broader Amish community. Ultimately, the color serves as a visual marker of one's specific beliefs and practices.
