Which of the following is considered a landmark ruling in interracial marriages?
Once a social taboo, love across the color line is becoming increasingly common. The number of interracial marriages in the U.S. has leaped almost 1,000% since 1967, when a landmark Supreme Court decision, Loving v. Virginia, voided state antimiscegenation laws that forbid unions between the races. Today there are more than 2 million interracial marriages, accounting for about 5% of all U.S. marriages, and almost half a million of them are between blacks and whites.
Yet even after the Loving decision, which required the state of Virginia to recognize the marriage between a white man and a black woman, Richard and Mildred Loving, the resistance to mixed nuptials in the South seemed to stay as firm as the reverence some there still have for the Confederate flag. It was only three years ago that Alabama became the last state to drop its unenforceable ban on mixed marriage, and it did so with just a 60%-to-40% vote by residents.
Of course, interracial intimacy has been a fact of life in the region since African slaves first arrived in the U.S. — and white slave owners like Thomas Jefferson began sneaking into the slave quarters at night. But what used to be branded clandestine lust has finally evolved into sanctioned love: black-white interracial marriages in Alabama have more than tripled, from 297 in 1990 to 1,000 in 2000, or about 2.5% of the married couples in the state. An additional 1% of Alabama marriages are unions also involving Asians, Latinos and Native Americans.
选项
A、The resistance to interracial marriages in the South still stays firm.
B、The number of interracial marriages involving Asians, Latinos and Native Americans is greater than that of black-white marriages.
C、There were no mixed marriages in Alabama until three years ago.
D、The rise of an educated black middle class has increased opportunities for blacks and whites to develop romantic relationships.
答案
A
解析
推理判断题。根据原文第二段第一句“the resistance to mixed nuptials in the South seemed tostay as firm as…”即“在南方人们对(黑人和白人间)通婚的行为依然坚决反对”,显然选项A的说法是正确的。因此,该项为正确答案。
