Netflix and black male white female couples.

Is this their fetish or something? Every single Netflix prodcution I watch has a couple like this. I know some of you are already shaking and want to tell me how perfectly normal it is in the current year 2018, and that I'm racist for even mentioning it or whatever, but come on. When you put a couple like that in everything you make, you clearly have an agenda or a fetish. And just to be clear, I have nothing against it, but if you're gonna push race mixing that hard, at least mix it up a little. I think I've seen one couple where the male was white and female black.

Would be nice if Taeivon backed up his claim with the numerous examples he so claims about on Netflix agenda gushing the mixed couple stereotype. I don't notice it or maybe I am not watching enough Netflix garbage that gets shit out from there (there are quite a few along with good ones as well).

Clearly an agenda. They are gearing up for the Kalgeri plan/UN Migration pact. White people resist globalization, and the globalists do not like this.

"And just to be clear, I have nothing against it,"

If you didn't you probably wouldn't feel the need to mention this. Do all the same-race couples on Netflix and TV as a whole elicit the need for a post too?

Also notice how it's never seems to be white guy Asian girl, or brown guy native girl. It always seems to be the token white girl black guy combo. Because that's the only one that exists after all.

Honestly I don't even watch that much on Netflix and off the top of my head I can think of mostly examples of couples depicting white men with non white women which has always been by far the most common for for television and film in general.

Daredevil - white male lead/Asian woman
Iron Fist - white male lead/Asian woman
Black Mirror - 2 or 3 episodes featuring different white man/black female couples
Frontier - white male supporting lead/Native American female
The Outsider - white male lead/Asian female
Marco Polo - white male lead/Asian female(s)

Again that's just off the top of my head(didn't search the internet for examples) for Netflix shows/movies i've seen and I don't watch a lot. I'm sure I'm also leaving out plenty that I simply forgot about because I wasn't making a special note of it. Never mind the ones I haven't seen.

I can't think of any notable black male/white female couples on netflix shows or movies besides the notably few that have already been mentioned throughout this thread.

Add to that the angry, homophobic, sexist and - probably - racist old white man.
The macho feminist woman (Bullock) who is a hero, while the chubby, average woman is seen as a coward and a loser.
The black guy who is judged to be a danger or a villain at first before proving to be the hero only to be killed by white folk.

Speaking of which, the virus or whatever it is seemingly makes some people randomly able to survive the infection and become acolytes. Yet the five (six, if you include Tom Holland) who appear on-screen as 'bad guys' are all white?

It is so forced and basically just weak storytelling using cookie-cutter stereotypes to push across some political message.

Movies are about escapism, I'd love to get back to just watching a good piece of entertainment - regardless of the gender, race or sexuality of the characters - without having such obvious signposting and virtue-signalling pulling you out of the picture.

Well said. Something I thought was funny is that John Malkovich was consistently portrayed as the evil, cowardly sexist Trump supporter... but he was consistently right, in the movie, lol. And he's killed only because the others mistrust and hate him so much, not because of any of his own mistakes. I felt like that was really ironic, since the writers were clearly intending to paint him as the bad guy.
