Answer :
The interracial union of Richard Loving (a white man) and Mildred Loving, (a black woman) was seen as a violation of the social norms because it was perceived as destroying racial identity enforced by Anti-miscegenation laws.
What is the case of Loving v. Virginia?
In the case of Loving v. Virginia (1967), the U.S. Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren declared that laws banning interracial marriages especially due to anti-miscegenation laws violate the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution.
This was as a result of the ban on interracial marriages by some states in the US.
An example of such was the case of Mildred and Richard Loving, a couple of distinct races who went outside of the state of Virginia to get married and were sentenced to jail and banned from entering the state on their return.
However, the decision by the Supreme Court facilitated the Lovings to return back to Virginia and also increased interracial marriages in the United States.
Thus, the interracial union of Richard Loving and Mildred Loving was seen as a violation of social norms because it was perceived as destroying racial identity.
