The Bible doesn't have your answers dear,

The Bible, depending on the translation, refers to slaves and also to servants. Then, as today, income or wealth, property ownership and other economic factors were considered. How a person dressed, might indicate his social status. The country or region a person came from and presumably his family's status might be mentioned. My point is, there were some distinguishing characteristics. People have historically been suspicious of anyone outside their own group. After so many generations, this is really an obsolete concept. But, it has persisted. We're all stuck on the same planet and we need to accept each other as having far more in common than we differ. If one looks for differences, they will stand out. Look for similarities and you'll find those as well.

While it is kind of loose, most cite the story of Phinehas. In that story, many of the Midianites and the Israelites have children together. Phinehas even speared an interracial couple while they were having sex. However, this passages as usually seen nowadays as banning apostasy as many Israelites stopped worshiping their god and their children would not have been taught about the Abrahamic god.

However, there was a specific prohibition between Canaanite and Israelite marriages in the Old Testament. Not much of an issue now as the Canaanite are long gone or absorbed into other ethnic groups.

Other passages cited as against interracial marriage or miscegenation can be found here: http://bibletools.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Topical.show/RTD/Nave/ID/3419/Miscegenation.htm

It should be noted that the passages in that link refer to specific events and are not meant to be broad commandments. Nowadays, few people interpret anything in the bible as prohibiting interracial dating or marriage.

When it comes to the bible, I only consider what Jesus said. There is a lot of stuff in the bible that people love to quote out of context like the bible is some magic 8 ball.For instance, when Paul wrote letters to the Romans, he was talking to the Romans, not necessarily me and you.
Jesus had nothing to say about inter race stuff. You should feel very confident following your heart.

in case you fairly like a guy or woman, colour or nationality shouldn't get interior the way. however the returned, interracial relationship may well be a topic because of the kin individuals. some kin individuals would criticize on your decision of relationship. My view: My view would not count, interracial relationship would desire to be seen by way of the persons interior the relationship, no longer the onseers.

John 15:12 Love one another as I have loved you.

That's all there is to it.

And to the person who mentioned the status between slaves and masters in the bible. Didn't God let Moses go to a different family (even though he wasn't necessarily biracial). And what about Esther?

What the hell ? Dating has nothing to do with the Bible. If you live by the Bible, you live in the fantasy world because it's unreal.

So if the Bible say eat fish and drink wine, is that all you eat and drink? c'mon. Seems to me that was all they had in those days, fish and wine. No fillet mignon, sushi or lasagna etc..

People who preach by the Bible are the most hypocrite people on the face of the earth. See how many priests who rapped children?
