Thankfully, it seems like ancient history since such words were part of normal discourse. I think the Loving decision was a great decision. It's hard to believe that as recently as 1967, certain states prohibited interracial marriage. I understand it intellectually, but it's still hard to grasp the mindset behind it. While most people continue to marry within their race, interracial relationships have become pretty unremarkable. That's a good thing.
