The mixed couples


Did anyone notice there seemed to be quite a lot of mixed race marriage/relationships in this series. I'm not sure what the agenda the makers of this show are trying to convey to us, but it just felt a bit forced and unnecessary

reply

That's true of most Netflix originals.

2020 though, that's what people want nowadays or they get all snippity "waah give us more diversification waah!"

It's a double-edged sword. If tv shows don't have mixed race couples represented, you will have dipshits giving out. If they do have mixed race couples represented, you will have dipshits giving out.

Well if portrayed reality would make more sense, at least where I live there must be about 1 mixed couple for every hundred or so

The US ratio is between 10 and 11%. Maybe you live a rural life?

reply

Not really, I live 15 minutes car drive from the capitol, my city specifically is know for having lots of blacks, recently also Indians and Middle Eastern people. I can tell you that people don't actually mix at all. You see whites with whites, blacks with blacks and the following ALWAYS to their keen, Chinese, Indians, Ukrainians

reply

Well, about 1 in 10 mixes in the USA. And that's marriage. The sleeping around is probably multiple that.

reply

Yeah I think it's mostly a cultural thing, people want to be with those who they can relate to

reply

Yes, and for a growing number of people that is skin color independant.

reply

Yes, believe it or not I worked with this guy for a couple of years and one day someone mentioned the fact that he was black. Until that point I didn't really notice or at least thought about that at all, and he was my desk colleague lol I guess that he really didn't fit into our local stereotype. He was really into metal and football

That's all you got out of this? That was your concern? How narrow-minded you are.

because this is in England and its more common or not a big deal over there like here in the states. get over it.
