How did only 4% of Americans in 1958 approve of interracial marriage? This isn't even a white person thing because certainly more than 4% of America was black at the time.
>>18484614People of all races were mostly segregated, even in states without segregation. Interracial marriage didn't even become federally legal for another decade.
>>18484624So perhaps the true reason why it was opposed was because they feared the societal repercussions of it and not because they were intrinsically opposed to it?
>>18484614>>18484624>>18484633People by and large view legality as synonymous with morality.
>>18484660>People by and large view legality as synonymous with morality.**within the context of a Democratic-Republic because laws are ostensibly chosen by a populace somewhat based on their personal morals
>>18484662I mean, not really.Jaywalking is considered a "bad" thing to do, why? What possible morality is being violated? The law was created due to lobbying from the auto-industry to make it so pedestrians were the ones to be blamed when a car ran them down. There is no possible argument you can make that jaywalking is an "immoral" act, yet many people feel guilt about it.
>>18484667Anon, I think jaywalking might be considered a bad thing to do because it makes it more likely to be struck and killed by a motor vehicle. Just saying my guy
>>18484681In 190 countries it's a perfectly normal thing to do.
>>18484688???
>>18484690This map is wrong as shit.
>>18484692Or maybe you're just a retard
>>18484688>in 190 countries it's a perfectly normal thing to walk into oncoming traffic God I wish
>>18484690Something can be both illegal and unenforced or simply ignored. Jaywalking was illegal in NYC until like two years ago. It didn't stop most of the population from jaywalking on a daily basis.
>less than 13% of Americans oppose interracial marriage>all of them are here
>>18484733A lot of the "Americans" here are just Indians playing pretend.
