If interracial marriages were wrong, why are they peppered throughout the Bible? Moses picked a beautiful black woman to be his wife. Solomon was a bi-racial child. Bathsheba (from the land of the blacks) was BLACK. Can anyone forget Solomon and the Shulamite maiden? Or the Queen of Sheba who also had a child for King Solomon, but went back to her land?
God created all of us as flowers in a garden. It is beautiful because it is so diverse. The more mixtures there are, just adds more beautiful color to life.
I believe that the only way interracial marriage could be considered not healthy is when you are dealing with people who have interfereing families who are prejudiced. The children will end up having complexes if you are not protective of them in this regards.
That's not to say that the marriage is wrong. But, it is to say that the children will suffer, if both parents aren't up to the Christian-like tasks of avoiding the mainstream racists propaganda and viewpoints of the world.
We are all one, the human race. Let's respect one anothers diversities, and just love one another. The less fear present, the better off the world will be.

I respectfully disagree with some of your points. Why would you feel that interracial marriage is wrong? It is one thing to express a personal preference, but a whole different thing to state dogmatically that it is wrong. Wrong to me equates to being sinful. Where in the Bible is this considered sinful, and/or forbidden by God? He created all people and races, and this comes across asa desire to keep the races "pure" by not having intermarriage. Personally, as I've gotten older I've come to find more women beautiful, including all races, and have no problem dating any race.
And where do we draw the line? Is this only a black and white issue, or is it ok for Asians and Caucasians to marry? Or Hispanics and Asians, or Hispanics and Caucasians? What defines race - just color, or other things as well? This can go on and on.

Just to clarify my next comment, I have multiracial friends and would consider marrying someone of a different race. But I wonder if there is a little deeper question here in the middle of your question. My grandmother was a small girl in the south after the Civil War. She saw her mother and older sister raped by a gang of ex-slaves (from a different plantation) out for revenge. Her own parents had grown up on the plantation with slaves, but treated them all kindly. None of them were ever naked, hungry or mistreated -- though the idea of slavery is considered cruel, they were never cruel and encouraged their slaves to learn to read and become educated. Because of what grandma saw as a young girl, she had always been slightly afraid of dark skinned people. She knew racism was wrong, that all people are intelligent and worth while, but that didn't stop her fear and distrust. That early experience created a water mark over her entire life. Yet she was also one of the most profoundly Christian people I have ever seen. At her memorial service, several cousins said her prayers were the reason they eventually straightened out their lives.
Her terror as a young child created what some might call racism. Yet she knew it was wrong and actively worked against it, though she never totally conquered it. Though I am very light complected, I am quite comfortable with darker skinned people because I grew up among Native Americans. Give me two men with equally good character, and I would probably pick the Native American because of how I grew up.
Preferences do not make racism. Parental influences do not necessarily create racism. Fear does.

I believe it's a matter of choice and personal opinion. Once you understand that God made all men equal and also made diversity in colours to make the world a beautiful place, I don't see a problem there with your personal decision. However if you try to dictate someone else's choice of an interracial relationship, you truly have a problem because that's not your choice to make. I will not touch on racialism at this point.
