I don't see a problem with mixed marriages, would I want my daughter, if I had one, marrying a Black man? Probably not if I'm brutally honest, would I cut their heads off and stick them on pikes? Again, probably not.

I think most people have an instinctual aversion to interracial relationships, if only for practical reasons, a culture clash, difficulty for children i forming identities, being hated or looked down upon etc

In terms of inter-ethnic marriages between Whites, or Blacks, I don't see a problem, other than the language barrier, which can be rectified (see below). Most English people, certainly in areas which have been subjected to immigration, have some non-English ancestry; be it Irish, Jewish, Polish, Scottish, Welsh, and it doesn't seem to interfere with them forming an English identity.

In terms of religion I would be a little less flexible, I would want a child of mine to be Christened C of E, or Methodist at a push, if I had a non-C of E or non-Christian wife that would be a problem. Or I suppose the child could just be not Christened at all.

Language, I don't see why this is a problem, you just use the language of the country the child will grow up in. If you want them to learn a foreign language, from their other parent's country, then fair enough, that will probably help them later on in life. If I were living in a non-Anglophone country I wouldn't object to a child of mine not learning English if doing so were impracticable.
