Not such a specious comparison. Mixed race couples were not being
judged on their appearance, but rather, on =what= they were. It was
like a man marrying a dog. They were a different =race= goddamit!

Then, it's incumbent on you to explain how you could tell "what they
were". One certainly can't tell by looking, but one *can* make assumptions
based on how people look.

I won't even go into the lack of validity of the concept of different
"races" within the human species. In short, I agree with Jay on the nature
of your comparison.
