What does the Bible say, if anything, about interracial relationships/marriages?

I don't even know if it's an issue, but i'm just curious. Because i know that it says some things about not mixing fabrics and species of animals...i'm just wondering if that applies to people as well. no offense intended at all.
 
The Israelites were forbidden to take Canaanites and other non-Israelites for wives

They did anyway
 
Nothing at all. Moses married a black woman and he knew Gods law better than anyone else.

Num 12:1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

Scripture DOES prohibit believers marrying unbelievers though

2Cr 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?


2Cr 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?


2Cr 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.


2Cr 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you,


2Cr 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
