I was talking about this with Silverbullet awhile back:
A Life of Marital Bliss (Segregation Laws Aside)
I suppose it's tangentially related to our Trip and T'Pol stories.

Re: Loving couple ended laws against racial mixing
Which makes me wonder - is 'interspecial' a proper word?

Re: Loving couple ended laws against racial mixing
Are we in the Twilight Zone?
Reason I am asking is because I was reading a piece of fic yesterday that used the phrase "race traitor" as an epithet that Terra Primers had aimed at Trip. For some reason, the irony really hit me, given his extremely light skin/hair/eyes as contrasted with T'Pol's darker tones. (In fact, at one point I'd wondered if they really were interracial in terms of the actors' ethnicities.)
That set my mind off and running, so I did a little Google searching by way of looking for inspiration and came across this very link.
Just yesterday.
Cue the creepy music now.

Re: Loving couple ended laws against racial mixing
i SUPOSE THAT IN FUTURE MANY MIGHT LOOK AT INTERSPECIES ROMANCES, RELATIONS, MARRIAGE IN THE SAME WAY THAT INTER RACIAL WAS IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY.
iT TOOK BRAVE PEOPLE TO BECOME A COUPLE WHO WERE OF DIFFERENT RACES IN THOSE DAYS. mURDER WAS ONE OF THE MEANS OF OBJECTING TO THIS, ONCE.
tRIP AND t'pOL BEING OF TWO SPECIES PROBABLY WOULD BE SUBJECT TOTHE SAME HARRASEMENT THAT INTERACIAL COUPLE ENDURED BACK THEN.
pIONEERS ALWAS LIVE A DANGEROUS LIFE. THEY GO WHERE IT IS DANGEROUS.
tHOSE FIRST INTERACAL COUPLES WERE PIONEERS AND I SUPPOSE tnT ARE TOO.
yOU ALL PROBABLY KNOW THAT I LOVED A BLACk WOMAN BUT SHE REFUSED MARRIAGE TO ME AND THAT BROKE IT OFF.

I was thinking, if he can't see what he's writing, that pretty accurate typing.
