Interracial couples in TV/Movies


Why is it that basically every interracial couple shown on TV or in movies the couples consist of a black male and a white female?

reply

I guess to piss off bigots like you. I knew watching this that the [mostly white] bigots watching this would flip the f out over the number of interracial relationships on this show. Especially when the main is black.

On the other side, that is, since most whites have been caught committing food stamp frauds. Just to say

Better than the drugs and gang violence I suppose along with the 6 kids they can't afford it won't support.

do you always come out with bigoted rubbish ? it's actually just knob envy on your part.

reply

How about better than being setup for drugs and violence you mean. You need to be more precise instead of talking like a bigot.

Interracial romance plot lines are a required part of political correctness.

No, they're a part of life. Whether you approve or not

What happens when (if) gay couples appear on this show. That will draw out more haters and bigots on the message board.

I think what the person who posted this was saying that there are no white man and black woman couples on tv. I think that is it, but I maybe wrong. Lakeview Terrace is one that has this senerio. Good movie, but anything with Samuel Jackson in it is good!

reply

I think that's what he/she meant also but leave it to everyone to atoumatically jump to the bigot card.
It does seem to be black men with white women more often than the reverse.

No chit. One can't even make a single observation without being attacked by the far left for some perceived racism. Back to the original poster's comment, I don't watch scandal but isn't the president having an affair with Kerry washington's character.

And also leave it to everyone to automatically start some political correctness conspiracy theory. :-/

was saying that there are no white man and black woman couples on tv.


Meet Rick Grimes and Michonne.

I may have gotten this all wrong, but in reality I think he meant that there are no other kind of interracial couples besides the black/white trope. For example, an Asian male/female with a black male/female. Just saying.

reply

Or mixing with another any races.

Scandal and Quantico both have interracial couples that consist of a white male with a black female.

reply

that's what they show is called lol. quantico!

anyways, there are more shows with white characters, so you will get more white males getting together with minority females. i don't see how one could think that most interracial relationships they show on tv are mostly black male and white female. maybe it's because those are the type that catch your attention the most? dunno.

You can't persuade fanboys. You'd be better off trying to convince a wall. ~CodeNamePlasmaSnake~

actually, i've noticed that it has been more white male and <insert female minority>. there is that FBI show on NBC with white males hooking up with minority women. there is scandal. there is the vampire diaries with bonnie and enzo. before that though, bonnie was getting it on with that girl's brother. those are off the top of my head. there's also the flash with barry and iris.

if anything, it seems that black male and white woman couples have been shown less. now if you want to really talk about who is getting show way far less, then look at asian males and white females. i've seen a lot of white male and asian female, though.

Like I posted in a thread about this show and many others(especially SYFY and CW), I see 4 themes which many have.
1. Gay relationships
2. Interracial relationships
3. British or Aussie actors
4. Black males are almost darker than the females.
I hope people will check out my observations.

You may be right, I might be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic you are looking for!

4. Black males are almost darker than the females.


Almost yes.

But that is okay since females of all colours are almost more pregnant then males of all colours.But only almost.

I am also almost a millionaire with unlimited funds.Almost.And i am also almost a genius,almost a professional sporter,almost a talented painter and i almost wrote a epic piece of music.


I am almost Mr.Almost.
