Herbert Armstrong preached British-Israelism, the idea that the people of Britain were the ten lost tribes of Israel. Because the British and Americans were special and had a racial-spiritual destiny, Armstrong discouraged interracial marriage. Even so, he was accepted by many world leaders (here).
Interracial marriage was also discouraged as Armstrong emphasized requirements for Ancient Israelites (who, according to British Israelism, became Western Europeans) to remain racially and religiously separate from other nations.[107]
