Maligned Mixed Marriage: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Deryni|In The King's Service]]'', predictably enough thanks in part to [[Fantastic Racism]], the marriage of Lady Alyce deCorwyn and Sir Kenneth Morgan is condemned by both humans and Deryni mages. Hostile clerics and other humans don't like to see a wealthy and beautiful "sorceress" wed and reproduce; High Deryni Lords and Ladies who worry about protecting their heritage against hostile forces would prefer she wed another mage instead of a mere human, who will only father "[[Halfbreed|inferior half-breeds]]".

* In ''[[Discworld]]'' novels, some people, most notably the Dragon King At Arms in ''[[Discworld/Feet of Clay|Feet of Clay]]'', believe that Carrot being in a relationship with a werewolf should prevent him becoming king (not that he ''wants'' to be king anyway, of course).

* In ''[[The Full Matilda]]'' by David Haynes, Rodrick is black and his wife Katie is white, and both their families disapprove. There even is a class element, with Rodrick coming from a middle class black family and Katie coming from old money. This causes problems for his son Jacob who is [[Ambiguously Brown]] and can't decide which race he identifies with.

* ''Bridge to the Sun'' is the autobiography of an American woman who married a Japanese diplomat... right before [[World War II]]. It was made into a movie.

* On ''[[Flash Forward 2009]]'', it is implied that Demetri's parents do not approve of his impending marriage to Zoey because she is not Korean.

* ''[[Scrubs]]'' has Carla (Latina) and Turk (Black). Turk even pulls the race card when they go to pick up their wedding cake.

'''Turk''': Oh, so you're going to put him in ''black face''? This bakery is racist! I'm gonna call [[Jesse Jackson|Jesse]] on you! }}

** Also, JD and Turk once treated a gay white man who was marrying a black guy.

* Joy and Darnell on ''[[My Name Is Earl]]''. Lampshaded several times during the series. (Including at their wedding, where they had a "cake" made of Hostess Twinkies and Cupcakes <ref></ref>)

** Another episode (from Earl's stint in [[Prison]] {{spoiler|for a crime Joy committed}}) featured a couple consisting of [[Ho Yay|a black man and a Latino]]. They were [[Star-Crossed Lovers|from rival gangs]], but eventually fell in love during a month in the hole, and decided they would stage gang fights (which their gangs thought were real) so they could be together. Earl has to get them together in order to restore some semblance of peace to the prison yard.

* Paul and Jean Baptise from ''[[Superjail]]'' The two are a very loving and devoted couple despite the fact that Paul is a black gangbanger and Jean Baptise is a former white supremacist. The episode "Gay Wedding" chronicles their rocky but ultimately successful attempt to get married.

* Nate Griffin (Peter's black slave ancestor) and Lois-Laura Bush-Lynne Cheney-Pewterschmidt (the daughter of Nate's owners) on ''[[Family Guy]].'' They end up having three biracial babies that look like Chris, Meg, and Stewie.

'''Stewie''': Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! [[I'm Standing Right Here|Sitting right here.]] }}

** Don't remind him.
