One of the main reasons why Im gonna support this flick as much as I can is despite most of hollywood's & societies denial of it, america's youth aren't as closed minded about interracial relationships as once before. Im glad we finally have a movie like this that has the balls to show that!
shareI hope that was a lame attepmt at a joke. There have been several movies like this already.
I tried doing that once, making every minute count. It gave me a headache- Adrian Monk
One of the most recent would be Hairspray
shareSomething New (the movie) and some other shows like Lincoln Height have interracial relationships. But to be honest not too many hollywood movies focus on interracial relationships. I think our generation wil be the ones to finally show it doesn't matter about a person's skin color or their ethnic background. It's more so about who they are. Although I know my parents say they don't care who I date or chose to marry when I'm way older, if brought home a white guy all hell would break loose.
You got me singing...ooooh, oh, oh, oh yeah...

I don't understand what you mean by "it went there but didn't"
I wouldn't consider Hairspray a kiddie musical. It does appeal to the mass audience.
[deleted]
A KIDS MUSICAL????
Have you seen Hairspray or are you just talking?
I will admit, its not exactly heavy the whole time, but its isnt STRICTLY for kids by an means.
I'm glad I wont have to worry about that since I am the result of my parents interracial relationship. :-)
shareWow only seven attempts huh!! In how many years, um 30? My whole point is that it should be more of a mainstream deal without incorporating it into the storyline.

How about "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?"(1967)? But that had Katherine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy and Sydney Poitier. This is a big mistake because, despite the fact that today's youth may be color-blind due to their liberal baby-boomer parent's indoctrinations, it won't endear consevative blacks, conservative whites and especially black women who are sick and tired of being abandoned by black men for white women.
shareConservative Blacks are hypocritical along with the Whites who don't like interracial relationships to begin with. As for "liberal" Hollywood there are a few movies that have IR aka BM/WW.
shareIm 20 years old and interracial relationships make me vomit. It is the genetic genocide of one's own race.
Learn something from Nicole Simpson.
by that you mean the human race?
Did you know a large portion of the hispanic population is mixed, yet you rarely see people talk about it being a genocide to the human race.
Not to mention the American celebrities that are mixed, like the boy in this film that Hilary is dating.
Halle Berry
Alica Keyes
Lenny Kravitz
Dwayne Johnson
Prince
Mariah Carey
these are just a few that are 1/2 half, I don't have time to go into the famous celebs that are 1/4, 1/6 .

Give it enough time, and there will be no race. Embrace it, race is meaningless. People need to learn to identify themselves as people, not as races.
share Yeah its so much better for all of us to end up inbred! I mean forget the genetic advantages and racial progress. *beep*
Your no bunny till some bunny loves you
You must be on drugs. It is "Hollywood and society" that is the cause of interracial relationships in the first place. There is not an ounce of "denial", and this will be another outright propaganda movie telling white girls how "cool" it is to date criminal black men.
Oh my God. People who are against interracial relationships actually still exist? I thought you people had been extinct for years!
shareYou have got to be kidding me. People's ideals don't become extinct they just stay quiet and lay low.
shareWow! Why do think that this movie is going to tell white girls to date criminals or black criminals? You sound so ridiculous and narrow minded. I think this movie will be deeper than we expect it to be. You can't read a plot of a movie or book and base it off of that. I completely doubt that's the message their trying to show. Evan isn't even black he's mixed but unfortunately many people in our society believe if you're mixed then you're considered black. I can't wait to see this movie. As an African-American girl I really don't care about race. Alot of my black friends have boyfriends who are white and it isn't a big deal to us as it is to their parents. More movies about interracial relationships need to made so those who are uncomfortable with it can face it. Maybe it'll help them realize you can't choose who you like or love even when he/she is not within you're race/ethnicity.
People need to get over it cause its gonna continue to happen.

You can be racist and mixed. Yo can be completely one race and be racist. LOL. Are you serious?

What's so new and special about an interracial romance? It's been going on since the beginning of time. Where I come from, most people don't even give this a thought. Love is love, no matter what. For those people who are against interracial pairings, I feel sorry for your ignorant self.
If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten
Theres another movie with almost the same plot called CRAZY/BEAUTIFUL
shareHollywood has definitely come a long ways in terms of interracial relationships.
"Save the Last Dance" was a pretty good start. We'll see where they take it next.
It's strange, though, because you rarely see it where the woman is Black. Don't get me wrong, you've got Guess Who and Something New, but usually, you see a Black man with a White or Hispanic or Asian woman. Like most of Will Smith's more recent flicks. All I'm really saying is, I think it should be more evenly portrayed. I'm Black (mostly) and a woman, and I love dating interracially. I think that should be represented in film as well.

"doors_jim_the" is nothing but a racist internet troll. He keeps flaming this board with ridiculous and ignorant rants about the horror of interracial relationships proving his disconnect with where society's headed. Maybe in your little redneck haven of banality and incest this will hurt Hilary Duff but not in reality. In reality it will gain her a lot more fans, and alot more respect within the film industry for taking on what is considered a "challenging" role. BTW, people, this idiot said in another thread on this forum and i quote:
"hilary duff is a whore because she wants black dick" - doors_jim_the
wooooooooow lol hahahahahahahahahahahahaha (ignorant and disgusting)
you must have a rrrreeeeeeaaaaaalllllllyyyy tiny penis my friend....this sounds like classic racist penis envy. i guess if she wanted white dick she'd be all good right? where is sigmund freud when you need him?

You're the one who started this whole "ANY WHITE GIRL THAT LIKES BLACK D!CK IS A DIRTY SLUT", you're the one with some serious issues...whether its just racism or penis envy that's your problem. That's something you gotta deal with. And flaming the Greta board with bigoted rants is not gonna solve your problems buddy. Get help. Get a life. Get over it. This film will help her career. Unlike yours.

Okay, first off, Hilary Duff's career has nothing to fall off of since its barely there now anyway, her records dont sell that well and her movies are forgettable time wasters. She kind of hit her peak back with Lizzie Maguire and is of limited talent to begin with. This film wont bruise her career-wise since it'll probably be barely promoted and not all that great of a film to begin with. Also, they ensured that there wouldnt be much of a hassle race-wise since the actor shes paired here with is bi-racial to begin with and is of light complexion as to not upset potential southern ticket buyers.
And lets be clear about so-called "jungle fever"
1. Its a played out term, get over yourselves if you're still using it.
2. Its non-exsistant, why? THANK YOU SLAVERY. Know your history.
Race mixing in America has been going on for a very long time and its not going to stop now, the only thats different is the weather. All the bitching in the world isnt going to change that(least of all on an IMDB message board) so enough with the talk of racial genocide and all that garbage.
