And Tv? They are literally flooded with these and yet you rarely see them in day to day life not at the rate theyre portrayed in movies and TV What do you think the purpose of showing so many of these relationships are? I think people know they exist.

I don't see a weirdly large amount on TV and I see plenty IRL.

So should there be no relationships of the same ethnicity because people know they exist?

No they show them 10 times more than they actually exist in real life

The increase of interracial couples in advertising came about because of the Cheerios commercial. Movies and TV are just kind of a natural progression of things.

TV has been pretty interracial for a while now. It was motion pictures that were lagging behind. They were proud to be diverse when it was a show for which you take it or leave it, but they were reluctant to be inclusive when it came to movies which people had to pay ticket prices for. I'm glad Hollywood is finally stepping up and saying, "You know what? Fuck you. If an interracial couple is enough to keep you from watching a film, we don't want your money anyway."

It would still be nice to get a canon Rey x Finn pairing though.

the people who write and act likely live in major cities where there are more races and thus more interracial relationships
similar to there being a higher chance of gay and trans individuals
thus there are parts written and created for them given that it's not really "10 times the amount irl" when you don't live in the bumfuck midwest

White guys aren't completely left out. We get black girlfriends in movies and TV shows and Asian girlfriends in commercials.

Maybe it's because I work in the city, but I see a *lot* of interracial couples and parents with biracial children on a daily basis. If they were extras in an ongoing TV series, people would get irritated at how "forced" the casting was.

I haven't noticed any big increase but, then again, I don't watch much TV at all.

I like it if it's true, though that's really only because I know it triggers the racists in the States and they deserve to be miserable.

Variety is the spice of life. I'M not prejudiced about race, but I AM glad that some people are. That's how we keep everyone from becoming the same thing. I don't shame people for their preferences.

I meant in movies similar to the Walking Dead. Like there was that adapted movie in which Jet Li(?) was suppose to kiss the white girl he rescues at the end of the movie but they changed it to a hug instead,

But they don't have the same chemistry as Rey and Finn. Also, there's a long history of Hollywood pairing black men with Latinas or Asian women to avoid them having white girlfriends.

I dislike it when movies and shows gratuitously pair two people together simply because one's a guy and one's a chick, but this is one case where the chemistry feels genuine. If you told me the actors were dating in real life, I'd believe it.

That, and as much as I hate forced pairings, I think it's unfair to say "let's not do it this time" simply because the guy is black. If Finn were white, there's a 100% chance he'd be Rey's lover. And that's the main reason. I don't want them to dodge the obvious couple simply because the guy is black.
