USA Today piece on IR

I believe it. The amount of views that BMWW IR porn gets on Pornhub is ridiculous.


Did you mean "Focus" co-starring Margot Robbie? In the worldwide Box Office, "Focus" made over 3x the budget of the movie. Would you call that a flop?

Focus was a sneaky box office hit. It wasn't a $200-300million dollar revenue movie, but IMO most Hollywood producers would still take a 3 to 1 return on investment on a movie.

WW are still a White man's most valuable asset Personally I think a great deal of studio chairrmen and directors subconsciously and consciously believe if BM/WW relationships are more visible and normalized in pop culture, BM will eventually 'out-compete' them for WW, or at least be able to do so on an equal footing.

A lot of this comes down to the sexual intimidation of WM by the mere presence of a BM in the room.
Why promote an IR union that ultimately forces WM to view BM on equal footing??

America has a closet obsession with BM/WW relationships.
The #1 IR porn category by a mile is BM and WW, with WHITE MEN being the largest consumers of this genre.
No one would know who the Kardashians were if the women in that family had a preference for say, Chinese men.

Personally, I don't think the portrayal of BM/WW unions on screen are a big deal for most viewers.
But for too many White male decision makers and While male viewers, BMWW IR relationships literally threaten their MANHOOD in a way that other men with WW doesn't.

I bet you a big budget, mainstream summer blockbuster type movie with a WWBM IR couple would do massive business, partly because of the public's closet fascination with this type of union. And because I feel like it's not that big a deal to younger viewers.
This crap about studios not showing BMWW IR on film because they won't sell in red states is just a bullshit excuse not show these type of hookups on film.

I am surprised we don't see more BMWW unions in independent films, although at least we do have some.

It is though with REAL IR couples. They no longer have control over famous white women's dating life so the only control left is within art... which for the most part they control a lot of.


More so they get ignored, people on twitter called out Supergirl's portrayal of it, along with two other ones I am having trouble thinking about right now, maybe someone can help me out. But people know the portrayal mostly lacks. Especially when these young folks be doing this thing called "shipping" they've done it with Finn and Rey.

I think a blockbuster or they are betting on it being a blockbuster is coming out featuring a black man and a white woman. Don't know if they are going to be a couple though. But as I said the reality will come out when a IR romance with no negative portrayal hits mainstream... I should say again. Because the movie FOCUS was a hit with audiences bringing in $159.1 million. But the critics tore it apart and it had less media attention OF COURSE!

What that article just highlighted and missed was it's becoming increasingly okay for other kind of Interracial couples except the one between a black man and a white woman.
It left out A United Kingdom(great movie), Little Boxes, Timeless... But notice how they mention most IR involving black men and latina actresses.(accepted)

But on the flip side of that understandably they didn't mention some of the other Ir between bm/ww because they don't go or end well in movies/shows. Once again when interracial
You hit it on the head BC.
is brought up in mainstream, at the forefront is bw and wm, while bm/ww is put as a sidenote. And the issues that hollywood still has with that pairing that we here and else
where highlight gets ignored by mainstream. And notice how the other IR movies they highlighted that are coming out are mainstream(accepted) and involving well known movie actors, while the movies Patti Cake$ and Wonder aren't.

When TV shows like Life Sentence and movies like The Mountain between us come out that involve well known actors/actresses in a rare bm/ww relationship the reality will come to light.

I don't know how many all together that are coming out.

There's a group for everything nowadays, isn't there? Crazy to me that we live in the 21st century and people still take issue with IR.

It's not YOU participating in them so why do you care so much??

Because you don't want to see IR? So many other things to be upset about actually relevant to the world than to hate on someone's personal relationship.

Social media is a trip!

Yes,it is sad indeed. I see more GLBT relationships than IR between BM/WW.

I thought it was okay, the acting saved some parts. But you get the point I was making about it though, right? How many times have we seen the media and publications hype up bad movies or movies not well received by critics or bad movies that critics lied to us about. I know I want my money back after renting La La Land. lol.
