gosh, your SH answer is so depressing. minority report didn't make it past 12 episodes. abc wants still-star-crossed to fail. recovery road was just cancelled. it got me thinking and i racked my brain and came up empty & i'm so depressed but is there *any* good BWWM relationships on tv (outside shondaland)?
Haha, sorry. tbh thinking about SH makes me depressed, or angry.

You’re right, with all the different shows ending, plus the cancellations... I guess there’s Iris/Barry from the Flash? I’m like two seasons behind on that, oops. 
Despite not usually getting into love triangles, I’m really loving the triangle in SSC though. It’s really fulfilling so far to see a WOC, especially a black woman, centered and valued in both the plot and the romance departments. In a period drama too with all the great costumes and sets! I hope it gets renewed.

The only thing that annoys me about the interracial couples featuring black women on tv it that they're all bwwm. Where are the blasian relationships,black/Latino,Indian, etc. The world isn't back and white and not all black women in IR relationships are with white men. It annoys me that even when it comes to interracial ships there's no diversity. Same with books. Where are the poc/poc interracial relationships being displayed on tv and in books? Why is it always black and white??! Thoughts.
In a sense, it’s the pervasiveness of white supremacy. There has to be some white presence to make to get a certain kind of attention. White viewers tend to need a self-insert character to identify with a show/book. It’s also been proven that white audiences (and white people in general) find situations in which POC are the majority threatening. So non-white interracial ships are sort of doubly offensive to “target” (read: white) audiences.

Episode VIII Could Break Hollywood's Final Taboo
Love may indeed be a thing of the heart, but when it comes to adding skin color to the picture, many people would immediately flinch. As a black woman who has been married to my white husband for 17 years and, more so, been in a relationship with him for 22 years, I tend to cringe at depictions of interracial intimacy, particularly black-white intimacy, under morally unacceptable circumstances, such as adulterous affairs. Well I write interracial romantic suspense books and doing that has put me in contact with many readers in general. While some shows opted to normalize interracial relationships by not openly discussing race, increasingly, interracial couples don't simply appear on television, but their racial identities are taken into consideration. Carnival Temptress, The Revelers series novella, takes you to the wonderful, sunny island of Trinidad for Carnival fun, light suspense and hot, steamy romance. The hero or heroine of all romance novels on this site will be a person of color. Between the 2000 and 2010 censuses, the number of interracial marriages in the US increased by 28% and that number doesn't include couples who only date or live together. That's one of the reasons why I started Romance Novels in Color, so that we could bring awareness to the many romance novels that feature people of color. Even if the guidelines don't specifically say it, in most mainstream romance both Hero and Heroine are of the same race. It wasn't technically the first interracial kiss (we'd had one on British TV in 1962 ), although it was probably the first between a white man and a black woman. Many interracial couples are forced to keep their love in dark for fear of being criticized. mixed race dating In the racist mind, interracial desire from black men is a danger to be controlled through violence. Black women aren't all money-hungry, poor, uneducated, angry, vengeful, loud and obnoxious as many books would have us portrayed. So there you have it, the 10 best interracial romance novels and ebooks in the BWWM genre! Your favorite Authors of Interracial Romance will meet, greet and network with you, the fans of this popular romance genre for 2 full days of great discussion, delicious food and fun events celebrating IR Romance! No one likes to be discriminated, and whatever choices people make - including interracial romance - it should be allowed to stick. Additionally, Private Practice (2007), the Rhimes-produced spin-off of Grey's Anatomy, also included interracial relationships, such as Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh) and Sam Bennett (Taye Diggs). The refrain has been that books with people of color on the cover wouldn't sell. And though I am not much of a movie buff, I've seen very few recent movies with interracial romances. Though these days romance novels have a requirement of either actual or implied sexual attraction (inspirational the exception), romance should showcase the love between the two main characters. It was later reported that Washington requested his love scene with Roberts be edited out of the film, under the notion that an interracial throwdown would alienate his Black female fans. I am constantly supporting and promoting the interracial genre in hopes that one day, these books are on everyone's lips whether they want to read them or not.

As someone with friends from all over the world (I grew up in one of the most diverse areas of the US), the homogeneity in romance always nagged at me, as did the fix” of making the genre, literally, black and white. But 2015 was also standout year, because it put interracial relationships front-and-center, showed relationships that had not been seen before, and continued to add depth to relationships from previous years. As a black woman who has been married to my white husband for 17 years and, more so, been in a relationship with him for 22 years, I tend to cringe at depictions of interracial intimacy, particularly black-white intimacy, under morally unacceptable circumstances, such as adulterous affairs.
