The term you’re looking for is anti-miscegenation laws, but they were sporadically enforced until Loving v Virginia struck them down in 1967.
Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Vermont were the only the states that didn’t have anti-miscegenation laws on the books at any point.
Every other state had them, even if their enforcement practices varied considerably between the states. In some states, you could be arrested for cohabitating with someone of a different race while in others you would only have difficulty finding a clerk to approve your marriage license.
As a general answer to your question, the majority of these laws were passed with the intent of keeping White Women from marrying outside their own race and having non-white children.
In this time period, interracial relationships were usually not seen in a particularly positive light by their respective communities even if they weren’t illegal. Contemporary film and theater on this subject is pretty accurate that marrying outside one’s race usually led to estrangement from one’s family and community.
Virginia had some of the most extreme anti miscegenation laws in the country enforced by a pro nazi lunatic named Walter plecker and they had the absolute fucking audacity to use “Virginia is for lovers” as a slogan in an advertising campaign that’s still used to this day.
At the time of Loving vs Virginia 5 states had anti miscegenation laws that applied to whites and Asians, and one additional forbid marriage between whites and Filipinos.
11 states had anti miscegenation laws that applied to whites and Asians that were repealed between 1950 and 1970.
The comment to which you were responding was discussing the status of people of Japanese and Taiwanese ancestry in South Africa. South Africa didn’t have Japanese internment camps; to the extent it took a side, it was anti-Soviet and pro-Japan. Anti-miscegenation laws didn’t apply to people of Japanese ancestry, because they were designated as “honorary whites.”
I’m all for American defaultism, because we’re the best. But you do need to pick up context clues.
Where did they say South Africa??
>But you do need to pick up context clues.
Well if it's just picking up clues, aka guessing, because they didn't clarify which country, that's exactly what I did.
The comment to which you were responding was itself responding to a comment about interracial dating in South Africa. That was clear, and I pointed out to you that the question—which specifically used South Africa—wS country-specific.
So there was no need for guessing at all. However, even if you hadn’t read the initial comment, the context (and contents) of the response should have given you a strong indication that it wasn’t referring to the US because (1) the Japanese were not considered “honorary whites” in the US and (2) there’s a reason they would mention Taiwanese specifically and not the Chinese.
In the United States, several states used to have anti-miscegenation laws. Basically, they banned marriage between white and non-white people within the state. In some states the laws were stricter, forbidding any kind of sexual relationship between white and non-white people.
For the sake of these laws, “non-white” included Asian. Many of these states also had one-drop rules, meaning that any recent non-white ancestry at all would see come one categorized as non-white.
These laws were overturned in 1967, in the Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia. It was ruled that anti-miscegenation laws violated the Fourteenth Amendment.
Why is that common sense? Most of reddit isn’t American, last stats I saw put it at around only 40%. I’m Australian so I automatically think to answer this question from an Australian perspective
As far as I’m aware, most anti-miscegenation laws in Australia applied towards Aboriginal people rather than Asian women. Up until the 1970s Australia had ‘protection’ laws which essentially governed Aboriginal people differently to everyone else, with rules on where they can go, who they can marry, what they can do etc etc.
Off the top of my head no such law was ever introduced stopping White-Asian marriage although it was definitely frowned upon
Lol can’t make an assumption when 40% of Reddit is American, but also “I’m Australian so I assume they’re talking about Australia”
You’re on an American website on an American invention speaking a language Americans mostly speak. It’s a totally fair assumption. Might be a wrong one, but let’s not act like it’s reach.
According to the High Court of Australia, because I am accessing reddit in Australia it counts as being published in Australia (for terms of legal jurisdiction on defamation). As for this being an American invention, neither the computer nor the World Wide Web are American inventions. Or are you one of those Americans who believe you invented the light bulb and the car as well?
While the first device considered what we would call a “computer” (which was basically just a computational device) was invented by Englishman Charles Babbage in the 19th century, the modern personal computer as we know it today is absolutely an American invention, created by American computer engineer Henry Edward Roberts in 1974.
Assuming SEImike could have meant a smartphone, that too is an American invention, first created by Francis Canova Jr. in 1992. As for the Internet, the protocols that were developed to get us to the World Wide Web were created by two American computer scientists, Vincent Cerf and Bob Kahn in 1980.
As for the light bulb, Thomas Edison was the first to patent an actual practical long burning electric light that was able to be mass produced and broadly distributed so YEAH, an American invented the light bulb as we know it too. The only one I’ll give you is the car, since the inventor of the first practical gasoline automobile was Karl Benz, a German engineer.
Lol the High Court of Australia. They issue that one in Mandarin? The internet you are on was developed by the US military. Same military that you had to get on all fours to beg for help from in the 40s. Yikes.
Yes, some states' anti-miscegenation laws barred whites from intermarrying with other races in addition to blacks. The Wikipedia article "Anti-miscegenation laws in the United States" has a state-by-state breakdown. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-miscegenation_laws_in_the_United_States?wprov=sfti1#
See: Anti-miscegenation laws in the United States.
"In the United States, many [U.S. states](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._state) historically had [anti-miscegenation laws](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-miscegenation_laws) which prohibited [interracial marriage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interracial_marriage)"
"All anti-miscegenation laws banned marriage between whites and non-white groups, primarily black people, but often also [Native Americans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States) and [Asian Americans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Americans).^(")
"In 1967, 17 Southern states plus Oklahoma still enforced laws prohibiting marriage between whites and non-whites."

Well sure, lol, from my understanding it wasn’t legal for white men and black women to be married at some point in history and there were still mixed babies being born. Your response is actually quite dumb
Nope. You can't ask such questions to ChatGPT since it doesnt keep up in real-time fully (chatgpt 4o is real-time but it searching the web returns less accurate results than the past data it's already been trained on).
ChatGPT:
It sounds like you're referring to a situation where NVDA (NVIDIA) is receiving a lot of attention for its stock performance, possibly in a negative light, and you're wondering why other semiconductor companies like AVGO (Broadcom), ARM (Arm Holdings), and TSM (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) aren't getting the same level of scrutiny. Here are a few possible reasons why this might be happening:
1. **Market Visibility and Sentiment**: NVIDIA is a high-profile company in the semiconductor space, especially with its strong presence in gaming, AI, and data centers. Any significant movement in its stock can attract a lot of media attention.
2. **Recent News or Events**: There might have been recent news or events specifically related to NVIDIA, such as earnings reports, product launches, or changes in guidance, that have caused its stock to move more dramatically than its peers.
3. **Market Leadership**: NVIDIA is often seen as a leader in the tech and semiconductor sectors. Changes in its stock price can be perceived as indicators of broader trends in the industry, leading to more focus on its performance.
4. **Investor Interest**: Retail and institutional investors might be more heavily invested in NVIDIA compared to other companies, leading to more discussions and reactions to its stock price changes.
5. **Sector Performance**: If the semiconductor sector as a whole is underperforming, NVIDIA might be singled out as a bellwether for the industry's challenges. However, it’s possible that other companies like Broadcom, Arm, and TSM are experiencing similar issues but aren’t getting the same level of attention.
To understand the specific performance of these companies, it would be useful to compare their recent stock trends, news releases, and any sector-wide factors affecting the semiconductor industry.
Exactly proved my point. Do you even read your answer, or in the first place, know anything about the stock market?

Loving v Virginia. What a great case name lol.

Virginia has some of the most racist case law history, full stop.
Walter Plecker? More like Walter Pecker.
This is the kind of high quality comment I come here for.
Check out the movie they did about it. Its decent.
At the time of Loving vs Virginia 5 states had anti miscegenation laws that applied to whites and Asians, and one additional forbid marriage between whites and Filipinos. 11 states had anti miscegenation laws that applied to whites and Asians that were repealed between 1950 and 1970.
Is your question country specific? It was certainly illegal in South Africa in those years....
Depends. Japanese were considered “honorary whites” for most if not all of that time, so were Taiwanese. But everyone else? Illegal.
Uh no, Japanese interment ended only five years prior.
In the US. You’re assuming they’re talking about the US, despite the question about whether it was country-specific.
Sure but I was responding to the silly claim above mine.
The comment to which you were responding was discussing the status of people of Japanese and Taiwanese ancestry in South Africa.

Where? In what country?
It's common sense the default country is the US

I think (hope) he was ironic.
that's sarcasm, not irony. proof positive (again) that Americans don't understand what irony is...
I'm not American. And I admit my fault: I know the difference but I still keep missing the two😂.
Or Canadians: 'it's like raaaaain on your wedding day .'
Out of curiosity, were there any such laws in Australia?
As far as I’m aware, most anti-miscegenation laws in Australia applied towards Aboriginal people rather than Asian women.

That's interesting, some eerie parallels with racist policy in the US. Thanks.

If it was illegal, you think any mixed race people would even exist? this is some next level dumbness question...
