Most are concerned about being equally yoked. This is most important and has very little (if anything) to do with race.

Will a mixed marriage send a person to hell. No, not from what I read.
Do we have any in our church. Not at this time. Have in the past.
Were they treated different. No.
Do all have souls and need to be saved no matter skin color. Yes.

2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
I think unequally yoke could come into play with there being diferent cultures involved. In a mixed marriage both need to understand the culture of the other and be willing to part of it as long as it does not go against the teaching of God. How will other family members feel toward them?
