During the colonial times each ethnicity lived in their own settlements and they did not comingle.
Tell me you know nothing about colonial times without saying you know nothing about colonial times.
Interracial marriage was banned in the state of Virginia in 1691, a full 84 years -- that's four generations -- after it was established. You don't have to ban something that isn't happening. Many of the early "founding fathers" took brides from the local Algonquian tribe too.
How is it that Americans are so fucking ignorant about their own history? If you Yanks were any more ignorant, you'd think men can turn into women by putting on lipstick and a dress. Oh wait.

Yep. On the frontier, people tended to marry within the community, not within the ethnicity, since there was a smaller pool to choose from. This was especially true in the poorer population.

You don't have to ban something that isn't happening.
The exception does not disprove the rule. There are also laws against theft and murder, even in all the places that have no theft or murder. Your logic is stupid as fuck.

Which places are those? Big Rock Candy Mountain?

Japan has no theft or murder 😂 😂 😂
Imagine thinking that Japan, home of the yakuza, has no theft.
Imagine thinking that Japan, where the Aum Shinrikyo cult made at least two mass attacks using the nerve gas sarin, has no murders.
By the way, Japanese police and culture prize fast convictions and high conviction rates, with the wrongful-conviction rate (innocent people jailed for crimes they did not commit), with possibly as many as 1500 false convictions every year, which would be higher than even the USA.
