That was never the debate. It's a common enough occurrence that it warrants growing representation.

seems like half of the commercials now of IR(primarily black w/ white) and that is definitely not representative of this country.
You have numbers to back that up?
Even if you did (you don't), so what? Stupid thing to get hung up over, tbh, if you think about it.

My kids have friends over alot and most are in single parent homes and none are of mixed race. We've had probably 20 or so of their friends over and either 3 or 4 have both parents together. Mind blowing seeing all these kids in single parent homes.
Ummm, ok? Random tangent

My only issue is that I always hate forced social themes, whether in movies or in commercials.
If it adds an element to the story that distracts from the plot, but is irrelevant to the actual story then it is a bad move.

Anecdotally, it does seem as if most representations are of the black male/white woman pairing, which is not the most common interracial pairing in the U.S.

You don't think marriage laws are political?

It's a pretty crazy way of thinking of you stop and think about it

All laws have a degree of politics behind them.
My point is that IR marriage isn't a political football in American politics, nor has it been for quite some time. It's not an issue over which party lines get drawn. No one side has a monopoly.

That's cute.
I guess it might be true if you go back a few hundred generations.

So are you
And "white" is a relatively new thing in the whole scope of human history. Every other range of skin tone is much older.

I find it heartwarming when the rational, science grounded atheists find common ground with the Jesus loves us all, made in his image, religious fanatics. It gives me warm fuzzies.

I thought it was white male/Asian woman, but it could be white/latino(a). The stats are so skewed when it comes to Latinos in the U.S.
