During History of Sexuality, I did a lot of research on miscegenation—I did my final paper and presentation on it. What struck me about so many of the sources I used wasn't the bigotry (given), but the fact that almost all of the language matched the language used today and a lot of that language rang true about women's rights, as well.
The language used to discriminate is exactly the same and that disturbs me that as a country, we're pulling out the same arguments, over and over, and the majority doesn't realize because they're not taught about history of these movements properly. That's a rant on how history is taught in public schools, though, and is a rant for another day. ;)
