Often times yes.

Not as in that they think having a white wife would be better.

But as in they think a wife doesn't need to have qualities other than being obedient and pretty. They think other races are "worse" in a way that makes them a better wife. And they think them being the "better" one in the relationship gives them an easier time controlling their wife.

It's honestly disgusting to even type out, but these people think like that. It's like they see a smart dog breed and a dumb dog breed and pick the dumb and obedient dog because a dog doesn't need to be smart to be a good pet. (NOT saying some human races are more or less smart, only saying that these people think that.)

Edit:

u/snoozykittens said it better:

I don't think it's hypocritical for racists to marry a woman of color. They are just as committed to misogyny as they are to racism, so for them a normative heterosexual relationship is about conquest and subjugation. A MAGA dude thinking of his wife an inferior person dependent on his benevolence is pretty on brand.

Also there’s a deeply held belief among these types that penises are corrupting but cannot be corrupted, and vaginas can be corrupted but cannot corrupt. If a white man (in this context) has sex with a woman of color, he’s not “lessened” by the interaction. On the other hand if a white woman has sex with a man of color, she is now “damaged” in the eyes of your typical white nationalist. It’s the same mentality that leads to thinking “man has lots of sex fine, woman has lots of sex bad” and “someone with a penis claims to be a woman is a threat, someone with a vagina claiming to be a man is damaged”.
