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、By a Supreme Court ruling.
B、By state legislation.
C、By a vote of the residents.
D、By the social trend that interracial marriages keep increasing.
答案
C
解析
特定信息的找寻和判断。通过对Alabama婚姻情况这一特定信息进行找寻,发现原文第二段最后一句提到Alabama是最后一个放弃混合婚姻禁令的州时说明这是“just a 60%-to-40%vote by residents”,即“当地居民60%对40%投票的结果”,这与选项C内容吻合。因此,该选项的说法是正确的。
