oh this is gonna be fun
so firstly, one's views on interracial marriage aren't actually representative of people "not seeing race as a deciding factor in what people did", for reasons that should be...well, obvious
you can be racist in other ways and still support interracial marriage on several different philosophical frameworks
but that doesn't stop race from being a highly meaningful part of how you evaluate others
there's a reason a majority of american whites' score on the racial resentment scale is 0.6, and it's not because people became ultra tolerant
rather, the way we conceived of and expressed prejudice changed, as did what our boundaries were for what was acceptable

I didn't mean people stopped seeing race I'm saying people stopped seeing race as the sole deciding quality of a person. To look beyond the one dimensional thinking of race.
Which apparently was too complicated for the idiots of today because it looks like people are going back to thinking that way.
i mean, if you want to go down the cause route...Obama being black seems to have made race a more salient issue-by increasing the prejudice of white people
seriously, the "color-blind nation" thing is just really not the case
