Here in Finland (I'm a native Finn, so a caucasian) we don't have many mixed couples basically because our population is pretty homogenius.
However, as a generalization I think that a lot of people don't really approve of mixed marriages. Especially if it's a Finnish man and a southern Asian woman (for example Philippino or Malaysian) because a lot of people associate them as those "souvenier wives".. (I hope you know what I mean so I don't have to explain) I don't mind that myself, but I think a lot of people think us Finns should stick with Finns. Attitudes are changing though as the older people are moving aside.
In a parental stand-point, I think that the biggest concern is just the practical issues. I know my parents would first worry if they can even speak with their son's wife. They don't speak good english, let alone chinese or sth. So, it's communication. And also, I think parents feel safer to let their offspring go wit someone they can associate themselves to - same nationality or at least same appearance.
On an individual level, I think it's just a matter of whether there's a "spark" between the two. I doesn't take many similarities to make a couple work and if there's a will there's a way.
Me, personally, I'm ok with anything. As long as the people don't look suspicious and seem ok, why not? My little sister used to date a philippino guy whom I didn't really much approve of - not because what he was but because I had heard some unpleasant stories of him.
Whoops, this is a long post. Sorry. rolleyes
