I think this is a good indicator of our progress on true racial integration. Things have changed and gotten better, when I was a kid
interracial marriage, miscegenation, was illegal. That only changed in 1967 when the Supreme Court found these laws unconstitutional. Although unenforceable many of these laws stayed on the books for a time, Alabama only changing in 2000.
Now I have a niece married to a black man, they have a child. I am sure people notice, but the husband has been well accepted into the family, no objections, no problems. That would not have happened just a few years back.
@carouselsilver you and your husband are brave people. When were you married? Pennsylvania was one of the first states to legalize, but it must still have been rare, and in some circles not well accepted. I am sure you had issues beyond sticking out. Don't suppose you vacationed to the deep south...
I doubt the issue will completely disappear in 20 years, but it has to keep getting better.
