Well, there disadvantages.Because, you don't belong to any one group-race. Say you're half Chinese and half Indian (India Indian not North American). Suppose these countries get into a war over some silly thing. Where does that leave you when it's time to join the army ? I guess that makes you IndoChinese. People like that already exist anyway. The advantage of inter racial marriage is that the risk for getting a disease based on racial or ethnic determined diseases like scikle cell annemia,tay sachs,hemophilia, etc is eliminated. Because both parents come from different genetic groups. The Immune systems of the offspring are generally improved due to the recombining of new genes that code for everything including cell structures. If a person is half Euripean and half Amazonian. He can have genetic immunological protection from new world and old world diseases(malaria). The people of places where there are alot of scorpions or venomous ants have a higher tollerance to the toxins. For example the Native north & South American and Mexican indigenous people. Europeans are not so lucky. But, Europeans have much better protection against small pox,influenza,Bubonic Plaggue and other common diseses in Euriope. So, a person born to mixed parents fom a European and a Native American couple can hope to have protection from alot of different stuff.

From experience and from my psych/soc background, I'm going for logic rahter than political correctness:
Marriage between two people of varying racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and religious backgrounds can be very rewarding, though often frought with many more issues than usual, which may or may not ever be resolved. Each of these factors is likely to contribute to a partner's viewpoints; emotional make-up, style of communicating, personal habits, perception of gender roles, parenting styles, and a host of other important considerations. Many of the concerns involved will not manifest themselves until after the marriage has occurred. Like other marriages, the surprises create great need for adjustment. Unlike other marriages, the resulting issues have the potential to become overwhelming and destroy the relationship.
Perhaps the most important element in addressing the question of any particular interracial marriage is the nature of each partner. Two people with average communication, comprise, and empathy skills may be adequately able to handle a "regular" marriage, but not a mixed one. Two people who excel in interpersonal skills may be best fit for interracial marriage, whether they choose it or not. And two people with limited skills will likely not even handle the most homogenous of marriages well at all!
Another aspect of interracial marriage to be considered is the belnding of the families brought together ny the union. While each partner may be similar enough to the other, and capable of reaching agreements where differences exist, it can often be a confusing and conflictual situation once in-laws enter the picture. The couple may be able to commit to each other enough to ward off such turmoil, but may do so only at the expense of rejecting/losing one or both families. The stress this can cause may end in a break-up, or a constant strain.
Ultimately, the most important concern in an interracial marriage is the same as in any: How similar are the partners, and how alike are they willing to become, in terms of the values governing their lives? It is true that the situation calls for an in-depth look at many more potential stressors. However, it is more likely that their interpersonal abilities are going to determine their success and happiness than any other single factor.

Love in return. But if you want a superficial answer--because color doesn't matter anyway, it's how you're treated; but you must not care about that if you're asking this question, but I digress...--80% of the time halfie babies are just better looking period, and age better. When the kid grows up, college scholarship offers are exponentially greater....why am I focusing on the kids? BECAUSE MARRIAGE IS AN INSTITUTION FOUNDED ON PROCREATION. IT DOES NOT F*UCKING MATTER THE RACE AS LONG AS THE OFFSPRING CAN BETTER THE WORLD. INTER-RACIAL, GAY--really--DOESN'T MATTER IN AS MUCH AS THE CHILDREN(!!!!!!!!) COME OUT AS DECENT HUMAN BEINGS. The only thing non-inter-racial marriages have, is the comfort factor for those involved. That being said, there are no direct advantages of inter-racial marriage due ONLY to the comfort/reception of family and the outside world (maybe). But if you fall in love for comfort, then honey, you got more problems than wondering about an inter-racial marriage.

At this time I do not if there are "advantages" unless you are dealing with people who want to hear exotic stories. There can be troubles no matter who the person is. This is 2006 each race is now very much apart of the dating and marriage pool.

All relationships have advantages. What's the advantage of a non-interacial marriage? Isn't it the same? It doesn't matter who/what race they are-- each relationship is different in it's own way but similar as a whole.

I don't see any advantages.
The advantages are not in marrying another race but in how you manage the marriage. You and yours make of it what you will either good or bad.

Nothing wrong with it but I would live in a part of the country that is tolerant. IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT people are like this, but why should you and your husband have to put up with an intrusive form of questioning your relationship?

The same as non interracial marriage
A companion
A helper
A lover
A friend
extra income
a roommate
someone to have children with (by the way I think interracial children are beautiful because they usually have a very exotic look and have great features and skin tone)

Your children get the opportunity to develop character strength from being exposed to constant racial prejudice.
