    Because it should be a non-issue and not an impactful or driving feature of the film.

    That feature of the film moved the status quo in 1967. It seemed like that was the point.

    If a film were released in America today that pushed interracial marriage as an issue, most would find it racist because it is not a large issue in the greater culture (for the most part).

      But I thought the movie only has a similar plot to this 1967 movie, which only featured interracial marriage in a positive light. Does it actually focus on interracial marriage? Because so far nobody has mentioned anything objectable.
