Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Despite the repeal of the prohibition, many judges in rural areas still refused to issue marriage licenses to mixed race couples. This demonstrates that racial prejudice was still present and that the law alone could not necessarily eliminate discriminatory practices. There is no evidence provided to suggest that people were actively hiding their mixed racial ancestry, so option C is not supported. Option A is clearly incorrect, as racial prejudice was still present in some areas. While racial prejudice may have decreased in some areas, many rural judges still held onto their discriminatory beliefs and refused to issue licenses to mixed race couples. This continued to perpetuate the secrecy surrounding mixed racial ancestry. Therefore, option B is the best choice.
