In practice a dude from New Guinea raised in America would be unlikely to present as few cultural issues as a potential spouse to a white American as another white American would. He'd be a visible minority with all of the issues involved in that and he might identify some with his country of origin. If one is looking at cultural compatibility of course two white Americans marrying each other would be likely to be preferable. Whites marrying interracially have higher rates of divorce, after all, particularly with white women marrying blacks, and a dude from New Guinea sort of is black as well as having origins outside the US.
It merits noting that the evidence on genetic diversity and stronger bodies, if one takes that to include health, etc., for example, is not uniform:
