Yeah. This must be it.
Somehow you've uncovered my fiendish plan. Nearly half the population or more that believes in traditional marriage is secretly longing for the good old days where you could have slaves and own people. See, this is what I'm talking about. Someone trying to take another' view and making an attempt at turning it into something that has noting to do with the topic. This is why a lot of people don't speak up these days.
And the remark about how a good portion of people being against inter-marriage is not as nuts as it seems. People want their culture to remain as intact as possible but inter-marriage changes this.
Not saying it's a bad thing but people fear this and societies will always clash and try and protect their own. One of my close friends who is a black woman whose family is from Barbados, has told me that as a black woman, she gets treated differently in our society and since her skin colour is different she will never completely assimilate into the population because she can't.
She's not white. She will always stand out especially in a white dominated society. Her commentary on how fashion and entertainment for example, that always caters to white, blonde women was a eye opener to me.
Her brother married a white woman and she's commented that her nephew who is mixed will also be treated differently by society and it's based on her lifelong experience. Her entire family has experienced this and continues to experience this. People will always treat others differently expecially if they can't fit in.
So inter-marriage between races, ethnic groups and religions isn't without merit in exploring what the consequences will be because there will be conseqeunces.
