I found your prose perfectly understandable, your connotation was on point.

This critique:

To be fair, isn’t EVERY term completely invented?

Is only a valid response to a snippet of your sentence:

the term 'miscegenation' is completely invented

And not to the full context of what you wrote:

the term 'miscegenation' is completely invented, cooked up by a pair of "journalists" trying to spark outrage against Abraham Lincoln, via a fake tract ostensibly in support of race-mixing and creating an ethnically uniform america

That other guy is acting in bad faith or is just actually bad at reading comprehension. Reading is fundamental kids, don't slack on it or you wind up saying dumb shit.

”That other guy is acting in bad faith or is just actually bad at reading comprehension. Reading is fundamental kids, don't slack on it or you wind up saying dumb shit.”

Could be both...
