Find an actual religion that says interracial marriage is wrong.
I would think that Leon Bazile's statement would indicate that there is at least one sect of Christianity that believes that interracial marriage is wrong.
It might not be a tenet of what you believe is Christianity, but it is a tenet of what some others believe is Christianity. You can't say that it doesn't count just because you can point to variants of the religion that share the same name but don't have that particular belief unless I can point to people who call themselves Christians who don't object to same-sex marriage as "proof" that Christianity doesn't say that same-sex marriage is wrong.

Your reasoning is convoluted beyond following.
If you look at any religion, you can find some wingnuts who ascribe to weird, sick, deviant, or just plain wrong beliefs, that are not generally accepted as tenets of said religion.
You are wrong, Christianity nor any of the religions I noted, have as part of its set of beliefs or morals, a ban or disapproval of interracial marriage. I am sure that you could find a Christian, a Muslim, a Hindu, a Buddhist, (etc etc) if you dug deep enough who is against interracial marriage, and twists their respective scripture to make it support such.
But you would still be wrong.

"It might not be a tenet of what you believe is Christianity, but it is a tenet of what some others believe is Christianity."Yep, might be their tenet, but that tenet is not supported biblically. They made that tenet up out of whole cloth.
