    Do you think we have gotten to the point where interracial marriage is non-taboo?

    I think it's more acceptable with the younger generation (my own). I personally see no issue with it; people are people, regardless out their skin pigmentation. Judgment of character is what should be relevant.

    Luckily that fight was won

    There is no stigma from this generation on that subject.

    1. Link.

    2. This is great to know.

    3. Why do we care? You can marry pretty much anyone of the opposite gender. (incest is illegal, if I'm correct)

    Following my father marrying my mother, his brother married her sister and they had a daughter, my first cousin.

    Would incest be legal in that instant?

    I am not sure about this instance.

    However it is legal for first cousins to marry.
