How Come The Media Is Pushing White/Black Interracial Relationships?

Anonymous
First off, I am a black guy, if that makes a difference. When I was a kid, I grew up in a 98% white community, so the only women I dated were white. Back then, I used to think interracial relationships were empowering and I used to think that it was needed to spur change and bring everyone together. I am about to sound like a hypocrite for saying this... but I am sick of it now (more specifically the white and black couple).

When I watch TV these days, the only interracial couple I see on TV is white and black.

-What about the Asian and Hispanic couples?

-What about the Indian and White couples?

-What about the Black and Asian couples?

Do you see my point here? I am not not entirely against interracial relationships... but I feel that the media is pushing whites and blacks to be together and that the media is telling white people and black people (more black people specifically) that you cannot be truly happy until you date outside your race.

Why this annoys me is because when I talk to black women... they tell me they only want to date white men. When I talk to white women, they tell me that "pink dicks" are "disgusting" and they prefer black men (yes... some of them have told me this).

If you look at a lot of the CW shows, for example (Flash, Supergirl, Arrow, LOT), you will see that they are pushing the white/black couple as well.

I have also seen a lot of commercials doing this recently as well.

I'm tired of the media pushing whites/blacks. I think the media should even out everything by showing different interracial couples (not just white and blacks) and also showing same race couples (especially for the black community).

These are just my thoughts. What do you guys think?
