Interracial marriage

Marriage between individuals of different racial/ethnic backgrounds

Interracial marriage is a marriage involving spouses who belong to different races or racialized ethnicities. In the past, such marriages were forbidden by law in Nazi Germany, certain U.S. states, and apartheid-era South Africa as miscegenation (Latin: 'mixing types') — a term which first appeared in Miscegenation: The Theory of the Blending of the Races, Applied to the American White Man and Negro, a hoax anti-abolitionist pamphlet published in 1864. By 1960, interracial marriage was outlawed in 31 U.S. states.
