"I don’t actually see why communities shouldn’t prohibit inter-racial marriage if they want to. I’d prefer not to live in such a community — given my domestic circumstances, in fact, I wouldn’t be able to! — but this doesn’t strike me as an unreasonable or immoral restriction for a state or country to impose on its citizens."It strikes me as both unreasonable, immoral, and incompatible with the individualism of Charles Bradlaugh. I fear Mr. Derbyshire may need a new pseudonym; he's disgracing this one.—John Derbyshire, posting as "Bradlaugh" at Secular Right

Faith In Honest Doubt had a good takedown of his original post. He's just digging in deeper. I like Derbyshire, but saying that prohibiting interracial marriage isn't unreasonable or immoral is just ridiculous. His argument reminds me a bit of Old South defenses of slavery.
