interracial relations

Between different ethnicities

Interracial relations refers to social interactions, connections, or romantic relationships between people of different racial backgrounds.

The term encompasses everything from friendships and professional associations to marriages and sexual partnerships.

Historically, the phrase often appeared in discussions of laws and social norms governing contact between races, particularly in the context of segregation and anti-miscegenation statutes.

The documentary explored interracial relations in the American South during the civil rights era.
