My immediate family are all white, but of the seven people who are my generation (me, my brothers and four cousins), only the eldest is married - ask me again in 10 years!

Going back another generation from my grandparents and we're ethnically mixed (white British and Gypsy/Roma), if not racially.

I have a few cousins who have married people of different races/ethnic backgrounds (in fact, 3 out of my 4 married cousins). My immediately family is pretty white, though.

My parents were generally speaking of the European white. My dad was German, English, and Irish, My mother was German, English, Cherokee. All my children have married within their race. All my family have married within our race, with the exception of one cousin, who married a Mexican woman.

My (white) brother married an Asian (Chinese) woman and they had 2 girls. Otherwise, all white, though.

Come to think of it, "race" is perhaps not defined so well here. I would tend to group all "white" people in the same category. But, I can see from some of the comments that people do make distinctions within that. It's certainly common in the US to distinguish someone's European background.

Our sons deviated from the pure Caucasian ancestry. One married someone from Ecuador and the other married someone of white/Mexican mix.

My son's maternal grandfather is a black man. My brother is married to a black woman. But, what are you considering as "race"? I am of Jewish descent, my former wife (with whom I am currently living) is not. My father's family is not Jewish, my mother's is.

You would, in a technical sense, have a hard time today finding anyone who really is all of one race to begin with. The Roman Empire pretty much occupied all of Europe at one time. There were many Roman citizens hailing from Africa who were as they used to say, "Black as the ace of spades." So there was quite a bit of intermarriage taking place then. Anyone of European descent today most likely has that admixture in their ancestry from the get-go. And again, if you're considering the Jews as a different "race", consider that there are Jewish cemeteries in Germany and other parts of Europe dating back before the time of Christ. So there were actually Jews in Europe before there were any Christians anywhere...

Anyone of Eastern European descent probably has some Mongol blood in their ancestry as well.

I have a huge family but would say it is a reasonably safe guess that we are all one race.

My family is all of one race. Ste went out with a half-Iranian girl last year, that's about as diverse as we get. I can assure you it's entirely unintentional.

My immediate family is all white. But I have a distant cousin (of no blood relation) who married a half-Japanese woman.
