Loving v. Virginia was the civil rights case that deemed interracial marriage bans unconstitutional. Thomas, a Black man, is married to Ginni Thomas, who is White.
"Uncle Clarence" is likely a derogatory reference to the literary character "Uncle Tom," a slave character often associated with submission to a White ruling class.
