Christians eat pork despite it being prohibited in the Old Testament because they believe that the dietary laws in the Old Testament no longer apply to them. This belief is based on teachings in the New Testament that emphasize the importance of faith in Jesus Christ over following specific dietary restrictions.

What does god say about marrying different rases?

In the Old testament God forbade His people from marrying those outside of the household of faith. So it isn't necessarily forbidden to not marry outside of your race. Anytime that someone was prohibited from marrying someone else it was on the matter of them being faithful to God. In the New Testament, since the Gospel went out to the Gentiles as well as to the Jews (there is a bit of this in the OT too) there is much more intermarriage, as there are many more faithful Christians from different races! This is only in regard to the Christian Faith, I assume that is what you mean my God?
