Bad idea? More challengin, maybe, due to lingering cultural prejudices. People who think interracial marriage is a "bad idea" are becoming rarer and rarer, and that's a good thing.
If a man and a woman truly love each other, then their respective skin colors should be irrelevant, to them and ideally to any enlightened Christian...
So you know about the supposed "first" inter-racial kiss on network TV.
Kirk kissed Uhura.
Apparently the advertisers were terrified by what would happen in the South in particular.
One Southern gentleman wrote in and said: "I don't favor the mixing of races, but in the case of Lt. Uhura, I don't blame Kirk for wanting to kiss her. She's gorgeous!"
