Deut. 23:2 has a companion verse in the NT, which I will look up for you if you like, but this is what it says, that two unlike people (man+ woman only) should not marry, this has nothing to do with race, nationality and ect. it's that a Christian and nonchristian should not marry, this is necessarily what is said in Deut. During the times of Deut. the Israelites were the only peoples to believe in the God of creation. Hope this makes sense, if not I'll try again.
I think you may mean 2 Corinthians 6:14 "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?"
This is a charming little verse that equates unbelief with wickedness and darkness. I don't see that it has anything to do with Deut 23:2 which deals with whether bastards should go to church.
Perhaps you mean some other verse.
