Referencing miscegenation laws; small wonder that the South held out til the bitter end, while New England either had no such laws or overturned them earlier than required. Those regional attitudes are still prevalent today. I, too, am glad that Hawaii is and was way beyond the curve on this one, however, with all the mixed race and miscegenated (my term) people here; this place would be hard pressed to be allow the bigotry exhibited elsewhere. Again, the diversity in people that I behold here makes me very happy. Thanks again for your post.
