This short post by Michael of Res Ipsa<\/a> is worth quoting in full:<\/p>\n

SOCIAL CONSERVATIVES & MISCEGINATION<\/b> Gallagher’s piece (see below<\/a>) has gotten me thinking about Miscegination. I think an interesting question to ask the pro-marriage movement is whether their social conservative allies would have been opposed to mixed-race marriages if they had been around 40 years ago. My guess is that we would have heard nuanced arguments opposed to mixed-race marriages from the likes of Concerned Women for America, Traditional Values Coalition, the Arlington Group, and Focus on the Family if they had been around during those times. White fundamentalists were never marching with Martin during the civil rights movement and the anti-mesceginationists had their roots in fundamentalist and evangelical Southern churches, just like the current social conservative movement.<\/p>\n

One also wonders if the “read the research” crowd would have been making anti-miscegination arguments if they knew that some research shows that children of interracial marriages have poorer outcomes then kids from same-race marriages? Would the research on “one mom and one dad” have been nuanced to mean “one mom and one dad of the same race” since there was undoubtedly no research on interracial couples included in those studies, just as no data on same-sex parents is included in the “one mom and one dad” research?<\/p><\/div>\n
