That's a good idea for a movie script. Mind if I steal your idea?

Amish usually Mary Amish. And they are off European decent. But you can become Amish. Ichose open religion to join. Not a popular thing to do today for any race.

There are actually plenty of Amish groups, the most well known group is the Old Order Amish Church. Most Old Orders do not proselytize, or actively try to win others to their group, and therefore most are descendants of their founders, German, Swiss, etc, yet there are newer converts who are of other races. Other Amish churches that do missionary work, and are more serious about their relationship with God, have plenty members who are of other races. The New Order Amish would have more race diversity, and Amish are also very big on adoption, adopting babies from all over the world. The Beachy Amish Mennonite Church ( WNW.beachyam.org ) has plenty of African Amish members, I have seen them in Missouri, and Kansas, and they are in many other states, from Kansas to Virginia, New York, etc. Matter of fact, I know of an African Minister in their group, I believe from NY. This group has a ton of churches that are African in Kenya, Haiti, etc, which are mostly African. There are Asians, Mexicans, etc, in their different churches. Another site is WNW.missionresourcenetwork.com , also, WNW.charityministries.org , WNW.anabaptists.org
