Yes! My husband is Indian!
Mormons can do basically whatever they want, just like any other human can. As a Mormon we follow the commandments and Jesus' teachings as well as other things the prophets advise us to do/not to do.
For example we do not drink coffee or caffeinated tea, if you do however you are not going to be excommunicated, that is for more serious sins like murder, abortion, sexual assault, ect. The only things we are "not allowed" to do which is different from some Christianity teachings, is not drinking coffee, tea, alcohol, not smoking, taking drugs (though I am sure many churches teach this) on Sunday we do not buy anything as a way to keep the Sabbath day holy, we obey the law, ect. So yes interracial dating/marriage is "allowed".

There are no restrictions to interracial relationships. It is important to remember that with such personal relationships additional problems may surface above the routine marriage dilemmas people face. Usually, the people in interracial relationships are well aware of the problems they face.
I'm married to a Methodist; does that count?

Yes it is allowed. We are not racist in anyway as a church, if any members are racist, that is their own mistake, not anything our church promotes. Everyone of every race is a child of God and equal in his eyes, and in the eyes of anyone taking the religions true teachings to heart.

Absolutely! We can date outside of our religion too.. but, marriages outside of the Church have a hard time because many times non-LDS people get jealous or dissatisfied with all the time we spend at Church functions.

Of course, why wouldn't it be? There are many interracial marriages in our church.

Yes, it is (I have both Caucasian and Native American ancestry, and have a cousin who's married to someone who's half-Caucasian, half-Japanese).

Yes, they just changed that a few years ago. Like EVERYTHING Mormon..it changes with times, just like the book of Mormon...4000 changes and still counting in the secret little pinhead group that decides everything.
