If Anti-miscegenation laws still in effect at US?

You'd have to retard Civil Rights, or at least alter the Civil Rights movement somewhat. Anti-miscegenation doesn't necessarily require a lack of a Civil Rights movement; in fact, the adults and older people on both sides were willing to maybe go as far as saying both races should be equal but still treated mixed marriage as a taboo. It was perhaps the gay marriage of it's day.
 
The Progressive movement manages to pass an earlier civil rights bill in the US but they retain their eugenicist views (especially if there is no Nazi Germany to discredit eugenicism) and thus forbid mixed race marriages although otherwise equality exists (perhaps a serious effort to "be separate and equal"?)
 
the Anti-miscegenation laws were struck down by the Supreme Court in 1964 when they ruled Race as a insidious distention. This wiped all Race based laws off the books.
Given that the Civil rights groups had been pushing for this since the early 1900's, I don't see how you prevent the Supremes from this ruling sometime in the 60's - early 70's

Easiest way is no Nazis. The Nazis were so extreme in their racism that racism stopped being respectable. Get rid of them and racism might last quite a bit longer.

Strange thing, Hitler once said that the US anti-miscegenation laws, where an example for his own racial policy.
 
Some of my former students would be happy (I taught a fair number of engineering students quite some years ago, and more than you'd guess were black women who were very negative about the idea of black men marrying anything other than black women).
 
In the 1950s-1970s, some of the biggest tests of racial miscegenation laws came from California. Just consider that you have a large number of Japanese and Filipino "mail-order brides". You also had Filipino and Japanese farm workers throughout California's Central Valley. As for Chinese, you had the issue of refugees from Communist China...
