Is racial Intermarriage in Sikhism allowed?

I was wondering if an "Indian" Sikh is allowed to marry a "white" Sikh if they both share the same values and the same Sikhi way of life? (Both Amritdharis). I asked my mom this question, and she said it was more preferable to marry someone from the same race. Although, I want to know if marrying someone of another race is against Sikhism. Are differences in skin color really that big of a deal?
