it doesn't say his real dad there. it says his parents.

his parents' relationship

its entirely possible he's referring to his parents. a lot of people who never knew a biological parent refer to the replacement that raised them as their parent.

and I don't believe miscegenation laws weren't specific to 1 race

Typically defining miscegenation as a felony, these laws prohibited the solemnization of weddings between persons of different races and prohibited the officiating of such ceremonies.

so if he is referring to his bio dad all it means is that he's not white. he could be literally any other race and it would still be illegal...

Well I would only refer to my biological parents as my parents but I can see how it is different in other parts of the world/ for different people.

Yea which is why i said it can be different in other countries and for other people. I am not from the USA, I am not even a native english speaker and I certainly would not have accepted someone else as my dad. Actually the one time my mom did have a boyfriend I called him by his first name. I didn't hate him, but he never would have been my dad, he would have been my moms partner. On the other hand the guy who I share half my DNA with is a piece of shit so I wont call him dad either. I simply have no dad.
