[quote=spdrun]Looks like this interesting thread got re-opened by a spammer. I wonder about Oregon — weren’t they historically racist to the point of having a law prohibiting Blacks from settling or buying land? This went on till the 20s or 30s.[/quote]
Actually it was a bit worse than that. Until 1967 laws against interracial marriage existed – as well as co-mingling of races (damn those miscegenated people https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3eTSbC3neA;t=1m20s). 1967 US Supreme Court ruled Loving v Virginia – anti-miscegenation laws are unconstitutional.
Supreme Court of California ruled against bans on interracial marriages in 1948.
