Maligned Mixed Marriage: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

== Advertisements ==

* A few years ago, there were no U.S. commercials featuring mixed couples even though there was the occasional movie or tv show. The reasoning was most likely fear that this trope would lose them business. Some only included mixed groups in obviously friendly situations, and some would re-film the whole commercial to have two or three monoracial versions to play to different customer bases. It wasn't until E-Harmony and then Match.com started displaying happy mixed race matches and [[Averted Trope|no one seemed to mind]] that other advertisers followed suit including explicitly romantic or sexual elements between people of different races.

 

 

* Van and Folken Fanel's parents in ''[[The Vision of Escaflowne|Vision of Escaflowne]]'' were human and Draconian, much to the outrage of the royal court due to the racism against Draconians.

* ''[[Inuyasha|Inu Yasha]]'': Shiori's parents, a human mother and a bat-youkai father, suffered a great deal of persecution, even costing the father his life.

 

== Live-Action TV ==

* An episode of ''[[Reno 911!]]'' featured a KKK member who proposed marriage to his African American fiance. The joke of course was that the two were somehow so madly in love that the woman's race and the man's bigotry were made completely irrelevant.

** Not to mention Phoebe falling in love with ''a demon''.

*** Forget him being a demon, he's the Source of All Evil. Kind of a bad idea.
