I don't have a problem with it. It should be neither encouraged nor discouraged.

If you're from the New World, especially the US, the chances are you're a Euromutt anyway. Even a lot of Aussies are Euromutts, it wasn't just the British and Irish who colonised Australia, and it wasn't just people from Britain who were invited in under White Australia policy. There were a fair few Italians, Portuguese, Dutch, etc.

I don't think inter-European mixing has harmed these countries at all.

In Europe itself, it's more complicated. I wouldn't want the Nordics to be swamped by Iberians, or the UK to be swamped by too many Slavs, or whatever, and to heavily intermix... but on a smaller level, I don't give a shit. It doesn't bother me if a British or Irish man marries a Russian woman, or a British woman marries an Italian man. It's not remotely the same thing as full on race-mixing, like a white woman with a black man, or a white man with an East Asian woman. One of the reasons being, is that their children will indistinguishable from the native population.

On a more shallow level, I also think that mixed European people tend to be quite beautiful/handsome, although it depends on the mix.
