There's nothing that the left likes more than to champion minority rights, and churches have never been forced to perform interracial marriages against their teachings.

And which church forbids interracial marriages? Where does it say so in the Bible? Where does it say so in any of the church teachings??

Oh, come on now. It's becoming less common, but there are still very conservative churches and pastors that won't perform interracial marriage -- and they aren't forced to by law. Matter of fact, it was only in 2000 that Bob Jones University finally started to allow interracial DATING. Some churches stretch things and base it on the concept that couples should not be unequally yoked. Some just don't like minorities and don't require scriptural bases for it. When BJU was asked to defend their position, they had to admit, "Although there is no verse in the Bible that dogmatically says that races should not intermarry, the whole plan of God as He has dealt with the races down through the ages indicates that interracial marriage is not best for man. We do believe we see principles, not specific verses, to give us direction for the avoidance of it."

Incidentally, if you want to see someone make a really tortured case against interracial marriage from a Biblical, Christian perspective, you might check out the following:
