It is clear in history, especially in Josephus, that the Judaeans despised the Samaritans, but that in spite of that, there were Samaritans who attempted to cling to the religion of Israel over many generations. They even built their own temple on Mount Gerrizzim, which the woman refers to when she says “our fathers have worshipped on this mountain”. Here these Samaritans are not despised by Christ, and Christ does not deny the woman's claim to Israelite heritage. The Judaeans of the return from Babylon were acting out of the need for a national survival mechanism, but that does not mean that many of those Samaritans were not Israel. The Judaeans, out of practical necessity, were reckoning Israel by recorded genealogy only, something that any Israelites left in Samaria had long ago lost. By the time that Judaea was corrupted and began absorbing other peoples, the Samaritans were already their enemies, and remained so, therefore the Judaeans looked down upon them and refused any communion with them. This Samaritan woman anticipated the coming of the Messiah, and by all measures, and in all her sin, she was nevertheless certainly an Israelite.

Moses's siblings took issue with the fact that she wasn't an Israelite. The problem wasn't her race.
From "Whom did Moses Marry" by Bertrand Comparet;
In Genesis 25:6 it says,
“But unto the Sons of the concubines which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward unto the east country.”
Logically, he would want them to move more than just a few miles, as the whole idea was to send
them far enough away that they would not be neighbours of Isaac, quarrelling with him over the inheritance. The next place of any importance to which they could go was this kingdom of Cush, in
the valleys of the Rivers Tigris and Euphrates, the same country which at other times was part of
the important Babylonian Empire. So Midian and his descendants became “Cushites”, people
living in the Kingdom of Cush; but remember that by race, they were descendants of Abraham,
closely related to Isaac and his descendants the Israelites, although they remained a separate
nation and never became part of Israel.

In the King James version the word Ethiopian is used; but many updated versions use Cushite or Midianite. Moses was raised amongst the royalty of Egypt. He would never consider a groid as a suitable wife. The idea is ludicrous.

I haven't seen that movie since I was a kid! But that's a good point.
