This is not just black and white. Any race has it's cultures and beliefs. When you fall in love, you don't consider what effect these differences will have on you and your marriage. I feel when the bible speaks of not being unequally yoked, it meant more than just religion. They also have to deal with the way society treats both them and their children.

Mosby, biblical prohibition of marriage outside the Jewish tribes was really a religious condition. NOT an interatial one.
Moses' wife was not Hebrew. He was the leader of the people.
Jesus was decended from Rahab and Ruth, neither were Hebrew. Both embraced the Jewish faith.
20 years ago one might very well have offered social stigama as a reason to council against interacial marriage. That argument fails today.
I do think one should not marry the french!
