“several interracial couples said in interviews they still get nasty looks, insults and sometimes even violence “
Not so much anymore, and hasn’t happened to us in about 10 years.

Really? If you don't mind Kehoe, what is your story of you and your beautiful family? I hate the hear that such things were direct at you in the past. :(
Sometimes I get looks, but much of the time, I suspect it's just envy. 😊🙃
My family (Italian descent) adopted a little girl from China in the 1960’s on Long Island. We got blowback from some of our neighbors. I can’t imagine anyone batting an eye today.
We got some from the Chinese side of the family.
I recently attended the funeral of one of the matriarchs of a family which has been ‘mixed’ for three or four generations. Some people looked very White, some very Black; and a lot of them looked sort of in-between. In the Church, everyone was ONE.
This happens to have been an educated, professional family, but there are many other families like this, of all socio-economic classes. These families represent a very interesting ‘subculture’ in the US. I felt privileged to be there and to be able to experience their interaction, and what it says about America.
In my experience, these people tend to be very Christian, and very patriotic.
