    1. Probably would have been interesting to have information about *since when* interracial marriage has been legal in different states. This map is binary, and really only highlights basically the civil war states.

      Weird to think this was a thing during my parents‘ lifetime and now they’ve been together as a mixed couple for 36 years.

      Was it all interracial marriage or only white with minorities were illegal? Like could a hispanic person marry a black person?

    4. It was only between black and white people or between white people and any othe poc?, also is crazy to think that in places so multiracial like miami was illegal

    5. This just points out that the South was insufficiently punished after the Civil War.

    6. Side note — Loving v Virginia is one of the best Supreme Court case names ever — especially considering what the case is about.

      Living in South Louisiana it’s crazy to see that. Lots of Creoles with ancestry mixed up every which way down here. The history of suppressing that is ugly and completely nonsensical.

      I remember reading this in my Dad’s (Louisiana) law book when I was little and he said it had recently been repealed.
      I was shocked that the government would stick their nose into that kind of thing.

    9. reminder that justice thomas, who is in an interracial marriage, has suggested that the court should reexamine that decision

      we’re in the dumbest timeline

      Wait until you find out where Nazi Germany got its racial mixing laws from. Grim stuff.

      Washington State also tried (and failed) to add a law in the early 1900s by public referendum.

    12. And would ya look at that, almost all of them were former Confederate states.

      Letting the South back into the Union was, and this is true, a mistake.
