Within that history, couched in the pseudoscientific language of eugenics, was the feared concept of miscegenation--literally, 'race mixing' ... Racists feared that the 'tainted' blood of what were then called 'colored people' (i.e., anyone not white) was a threat to the racial purity of the 'white race,' which, unchecked, would lead to social denigration and a weakening of civilization. The theory was that white people had superior genes and were thus biologically responsible for creating and preserving 'Western' culture, which was considered superior to all others"; "There are many court cases concerning anti miscegenation laws from this period, and they all frame the laws as enlightened public policy to protect the 'purity' and 'morals' of 'white civilization'"; in the Loving decision, the Supreme Court "unanimously ruled, with appropriately harsh language, that miscegenation laws served no function except for reinforcing 'white supremacy'")
