I've taken many sociology classes and had many good teachers (even minority teachers) and the facts state that inter-racial marriages have a very low success rate. Thigns are too difficult to make a relationship work. There is almost always a difference in Religion, economic status, traditions cultures etc...

Where did you take these Sociology classes? As a Sociology major I have a hard time believing that the point of the lecture was that inter-racial marriages don't work. I think you missed the point of the course. No Sociology teacher would be dim enough to suggest that inter-racial marriages are too difficult to work.
As far as your factors for failure go, they would fail any marriage. Any 2 people of different religions would have a hard time holding together a marraige, but not all people are religous anyway and there are many people of different races in the same religions. For example,
there are as many Christians in India as people in Canada
What does economic status have to do with race? There are many rich and poor people from almost all races.
And if you had actually taken any Sociology classes they would have told you that traditions and cultures are factors of Sociolization, not race. Infact, most experts now believe that race is an invention of society anyway and the actual biological difference between any 2 races is so minor it can't even be considered.
Believe it or not, there are many people of different colour, that can grow up in the same culture, with the same traditions and religions and achieve the same economical status as each other.
