Is every couple on this show interracial?


Seriously. It's like watching a 42 minute Oreo commercial.

reply

i think the pregnant lady is mixed (black and white). talking about the character. dunno if the actress is actually mixed. she is with that black guy. I think that's the only interracial couple in the show so far. we know that one guy used to date his friend's current gf, who is black.

I just felt like replying even though this is probably a troll topic.

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

I'm actually not trolling. We have the teen couple, the old couple (guy with the rats), the bus driver and his wife (unless kid adolpted)....

I'm not trying to be racist despite some of my other bad humor posts but show seems very much like its cramming an agenda down our throats.

That's all.

reply

forgot about the bus driver. cw shows like to do this stuff anyways lol.

gay agenda being crammed down throats? Hello, Dr. Entendre?


And I want to know where you hang out:

" the g@y agenda (g@y couples and blatant sex scenes) being shown at also an astronomically higher rate than what we see in real life. "

Maybe what YOU see in real life!!

As a bisexual woman who has many gay/lesbian/bi friends, I have nothing against interracial or/and gay couples but when it's everywhere on TV, it is nauseating and more than annoying. We got it, stop shoving it down our throats. It's okay but this PC crap is just as much of a bigotry. Only now it's racism against white people and instead of homophobia, it's heterophobia. Same sh!t, different angle.

There is some liberal agenda being crammed down our throats with every TV show lately.


Lol, only in American is the portrayal of a heterosexual couple considered a liberal agenda. I guess the fact the pregnant girl is keeping her baby instead of having it aborted or giving it up for adoption like her mother wants her to is also a liberal agenda.

Revenge is the most important meal of the day.

reply

So. goddamn. annoying.
Honestly, it feels like black supremacy and Black Panthers all over again. Same racism, only now white people are being targeted. Ffs, there's nothing wrong with a 100% Caucasian white couple. Hollywood has become insane.

Is someone forcing you to watch things that you are offended by? I turn the channel when something is on that I don't want to watch. Or turn the TV off and read a book. Seems pretty simple to me. The Golden Girls comes on the Hallmark channel. They are all pearly white and not a gay person in sight....except for the first episode avoid that one.

reply

I'm not offended in any way by seeing interracial or gay couples on TV. I actually love LGB-themed movies and storylines on TV haha. It's just that there needs to be a balance. Throw in some interracial couples and some mono/intraracial ones, too. Make it 50/50. In the world of modern TV it seems like dating someone within your own race is viewed as bizarre and wrong. IMO, that's going overboard with the whole PC thing.

Because everyone knows they are trying to make the world one single race, one color. Medium tan.

reply

I don't care either way but I did find it odd that every couple they bothered to show were all interracial except for the one. And even with that, we found out she dated his white best friend before him.

reply

Teresa is white, her baby will be mixed. It was explained (in the second episode I believe) that her grandfather isn't her biological grandfather.

reply

I heard about this new scientific discovery. Apparently if you press channel up or down. The TV changes to another channel. Now you can spread this marvelous information around the trailer park.

reply

They are just asking a damn question, they said nothing about hating the show or anything

reply

Yeah and every couple is a straight one.

 Di di di di da da dey I'll be your friend, I can be your homie.

reply

You can oadd ne more couple: the Syrian boy and the first white girl died in this outbreak.

The Syrian family did not approve the relationship as seen on the second episode. I am sure that the white girl's family don't care.

reply

And also in the second episode, Janas white work friend who was out drinking with her married black co-worker. In which they insinuated something was going on between them.

reply

I posted earlier about this show in particular. I noticed four themes which have been more prominent lately especially on SYFY and CW.
1. Gay couples
2. Interracial couples
3. British or Aussie actors
4. In black couples the male is always darker(usually bald and real dark) and the female damn near white or light brown.
This show fit the bill on 2,3, and 4 very much and 1 somewhat.
Commercials seem to really like diversity by showing A white, black, and Asian right of the bat to fill in their check boxes.
Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, I have said that this observances are right or wrong, but they have been noted. People should check these actions before saying I am wrong.



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

reply

The main cop Lex has a black gf inside the cordon. Also Jake is now in live with the teacher and they're both white. So no I dont see your point. Not in 2016 Atlanta

reply

Belgium is a very liberal state. They made it this way and CW just copied it.

reply

Do you mean that the Belgium has many interracial couples also!

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

reply

You ever been to Atlanta? I haven't been there in years but the few years I went there back in the middle 80's it seemed to me that there was an over abundance of gay and black folk compared to other large cities. In fact in almost every restaurant I went to the waiters were gay males who for some reason had to massage my shoulder or touch me in some way while taking the order. Maybe because I am a wheelchair user they were doing it as a form of "I fee your pain" but it made me very uncomfortable.

I think African-Americans make up a larger percentage than many other places so it kind of makes sense that they may have more interracial couples.
