That's both racist and untrue. Most white people in America have been here 4+ generations. How are they foreign?

How many generations does it take to go from being foreign to native?

You clear are since you said white people are foreigners.

And now you can't even back that up.

"I'm not racist, but..." isn't gonna prevent us from seeing through her wingnuttery. The question over interracial marriages has already been settled in Loving v. Virginia in 1967, and there is no objective reason for why law-abiding citizens should be barred from marrying the person of their heart on the basis of their melanin quantity.

It was "settled" by Jim Crow too. "Settle" in social issues means "temporarily accepted" and nothing else. Nothing social is ever going to be settled.

Interracial marriage is unlikely to be criminalized again. it is by and large settled law.

Unless the entire SCOTUS magically decides that interracial marriage is bad and decides to unilaterally invalidate its own court ruling, there is no realistic chance that Loving v. Virginia is ever going to be overturned, especially as there is no objective scientific reason for why interracial marriages should be banned. The state is there to govern the country and care for the welfare and security of its people, not to be a marriage counsellor.

If interracial marriage were to be outlawed, it'd be done via stacking the supreme court with judges that'll invalidate that ruling or via an actual amendment that can't be struck down so easily like regular legislation can. Would be like the Nuremberg Laws.

For while the US constitution guarantees a lot of rights and makes change glacial and difficult to implement by design, it can't protect against popular mandate. It used to be legal to forcibly sterilize certain people in the US for example, because during that time- Eugenics was very popular and commonplace. Scientific racism was in vogue and etc. Society isn't guaranteed to always be so tolerant and liberal as it is now.

Your not going to get a constitutional amendment passed to outlaw interracial marriage and that would be a Supreme Court completely out of step with popular opinion

About 87% of American citizens approve of interracial marriage today, so if anything, interracial marriage is even less likely to be struck down than same-sex marriage, which, while having unprecedented support today, sits at 67% in comparison as of 2018, so there is no risk of a "popular mandate" or "silent majority" giving the government a greenlight to recriminalize marriage between black and white Americans.

My point is that if that happened, that is how it could be done. However unlikely it is. The US constitution after all, allows itself to be amended. It isn't always about precedent.

Which led to a brutal civil war resulting in the victory of the abolitionists, completely abolishing slavery nationwide and at least de jure granting some basic civil rights to Black Americans, such as equal protection under the law and suffrage to black men.

It kinda depends upon how those terms are defined though.

If you're talking ethnically Briton and German, then yes.
Culturally, it depends upon whether or not being white is core to the culture or not. If not, then there could be a nonwhite Briton or German.
In terms of nationality (i.e what country/ies you're a citizen of), then there are nonwhite Brits and Germans.

Not to mention someone holding such fractally wrong views that I would be surprised if she even managed to win a sizeable amount of votes, let alone a outright victory. Only a member of the Ku Klux Klan could possibly vote for her after reading her speeches.
