>The Supreme Court's landmark ruling in Loving v. Virginia (1967) overturned state laws against interracial marriage as a violation of the equal protection clause of the Constitution. It involved a mixed race couple who had married in Washington D.C., which had legalized interracial unions in 1873, and found that their marriage was not recognized in Virginia, which had a statute dating to colonial times forbidding unions between whites, blacks, and Native Americans. The date the ruling was handed down (June 12) has been often recognized as Loving Day.

They got away with this because it was a white guy with a black (well actually black-Native American mix) woman. if their genders were reversed it would be way less easy to sell people on.

this is the same guy who is shocked that that they used Rosa Parks a respectable looking middle aged lady to make case against segregated busing instead of the pregnant teenager they were originally going to use. in any legal case you always want to use most presentable clients, that's just Law 101. that's why they will take MS-13 member and put them in suit and tie and eyeglasses in courtroom so they look like they work at H&R Block. yes a black guy with a white wife would have been harder to sell people on especially back then we know. sheesh.

The problem with these kinds of laws is the Southern states functionally didn't recognize any racial categories except white and black, and "white" in practice meant everyone who was not black so after WW2 servicemen were bringing home their Japanese brides and found that they were considered legally white. that was one thing that basically rendered Jim Crow laws untenable since they could be argued to specifically be designed to discriminate against blacks instead of "each race has its own separate public accomodations"
