This age group. I hope I'm not alone in believing that a good portion of that age group are responsible for most of this country's problems.

What is the argument against it anyway?

Like, I can at least see some faith-based arguments against gay marriage, even if they fly in the face of secular logic, but do religions somewhere forbid interracial marriage as well?

This is the thing. There literally is no argument in any way against it except "I don't like that race"

It's astounding that there are around 45 MILLION Americans who are against this... wtf.

Yeah, I've found that race relations are better in areas where there is actual integration than they are even in highly liberal white communities where people are tolerant IN THEORY, but will still clutch their purse a little tighter if they pass a black man on the street.

I'm sure there are plenty. I also don't doubt that even among the same two races, approval levels differ depending which is the man and which is the woman.

I would completely disagree. It's probably more common than white man/black woman, but to the sort of people that disapprove of interracial marriage, a black man marrying a white woman represents a black person being dominant over a white person, since these are the same sort of people that believe the woman's role is to be subservient.

maybe in a symbolic sense but in reality women possess all of the leverage in a modern american marriage, but you're right that the same people that would disapprove of interracial marriage are also those that wouldn't acknowledge this fact.
