How Come The Media Is Pushing White/Black Interracial Relationships? (Page 2)

Question

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?

I agree. I'd like to see other kinds of couples. They are pushing that one type on us

Actually it's more common to see those relationships (depends on where you are from) but I agree they should be showing more types of interracial relationships.

I get what you mean. I want to see a love story between two POC. I guess the media haven't thought about that posibility

unfortunately, television executives don't like to push too much. many of them are rather old. given time, it will change in the other direction and I'm sure it won't happen right away

I think you have a bugabear about the issue, so you "see" it everywhere. But it's not something I've noticed and I doubt the media is "pushing" it.

Honestly, I don't think there should be ANY interracial marriages. I think things work better within one's own race.
