Why are there so many movies that display the life and burdens of interracial relationships?

Such as; Jungle fever, Zebra stripes, and etc. But no movies (that I ever heard of) that document the life and burdens of a mixed person?





From my personal experience, society can be just as cruel to a mixed person, as any one in an interracial relationship.Why are there so many movies that display the life and burdens of interracial relationships?
What about Mr. Spock? Or Hondo? Both ';half-bred'; stories.





Art, I think the reason Hollywood doesn't delve too often into the subject is because it isn't one that immediately cuts to an identifiable stereotype or cultural shorthand.





All movies deal with a visual language that the audience doesn't have to think hard about. Think about a ';buddy movie'; one is a slob, the other a prig, ala the ';Odd Couple';. Think cop movies where the Chief is always trying to keep the maverick cop hemmed in, ala ';Beverly Hills Cop'; or ';Heat of the Night'; or any number of other films. See glasses on a girl ... she's smart; see a snotty blonde she is a soroity sister. See Halle Berry, she is just fine, ... goodness.





For your situation, there isn't a ready visual stereotype that folks can look at and immediately understand.





However, there is one film that deals with the theme you're asking about. I can't recall the name of it, but it is from the late '60s or early '70s. It starred Godfrey Cambridge and it dealt with a racist white guy who woke up black one day. His wife freaks, his kids freak and he freaks.





You might want to check it out. It deals with how this racist guy eventually deals with his situation.





I should backtrack a tad. Back in the olden days, there was an ';Urban Legend'; that if you had a drop of black blood in your veins, you could be white one day and black the next.





Another film that touches on your issue stars James Earl Jones and Robert Duval as brothers. Robert Duval is a cracker who discovers after his mother dies, that his father was black, and that he has a half brother living in Chicago.





Duval leaves his Cracker-World and heads to Chicago ...Why are there so many movies that display the life and burdens of interracial relationships?
Imitation of Life-1959, but it's a black girl that looks white


Deep in my Heart - it's all about a mixed woman's problems sort of. particularly w/ her maternal figures: a white rape victim who gives her up, a black foster mother who she's taken from and a white adoptive mother who she disconnected with.





If that helps!
Because it is the Jew run media trying to stuff diversity down our throats so that they can weaken the white man's place in this world. I don't wath much TV or movies. I prefer a good book. It is much more intelligent.
I agree. I've been in a relationship with my bf for over 3 years (he's black and I'm asian) I haven't dealt with any hardships except my parents getting used to the idea. lol
Media brainwashing the masses.





Racism is for the weak.
try the movie ';crash';
I totally know what you mean!
I know what u mean...and I agree
