I think intermarrying with other cultures is a strong sign of integration or assimilation. The cultures who stay culturally coherent when surrounded by other cultures largely marry inside their own cultural sphere.

This is especially true for e.g. Jewish and Roma cultures, but also as you say the Chinese. Though, I don't know if it's all Chinese cultures or e.g. mainly Hokkien people?

I have a feeling it's cultures where the communal will is stronger than the individual will. Danes are very individualistic in their approach to life - in the sense that we look for meaning and purpose as individuals, not in a fixed role within e.g. a family unit (like 'father' or 'mother'). If your point of origin for meaning is your own happiness and wellbeing over that of the family or your cultural group you're bound to be more likely to marry someone you happen to like and not e.g. a cousin from back home.
