Where are miscegenation laws still on the books?
- I have no idea - and even if they are still on the books they are clearly unenforcable since the 14th amendment (in the United States at least). -- Cock
- A cursory search revealed that Alabama (at least) still has miscegenation laws "on the books". See specifically sections 102 and 182 of their constitution. -- Cock

Suicides?
"Many interfaith and intermarried couples committed suicide when these laws came into effect." Are they're any sources to support this? -- Jevin 23:09, 2004 Sep 8 (UTC)
Derogatory
As I see by the text, miscegenation is usually derogatory. What's the 'polite' term to this concept? I guess it would be useful, specially for non-English speaking people. - Ihsuss 01:13, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- "Mixed marriage" is another term that is used for inter-racial marriages, but that can also be applied to the marriage of two people from different religions, such as a Jew and a Catholic, or even a Catholic and a Protestant. A mixed marriage my even be jokingly applied to the marriage of a Northerner and a Southerner in the United States or any couple with broadly differing backgrounds. gK ¿? 02:59, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
or a westerner and an easterner in the united states. Gringo300 05:54, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
