Interracial love is old. Particularly in scifi.
TV shows and not big budget blockbusters with massive crossover appeal also wm/bw

Have YOU been living under a rock? That has always mattered and always will.

We all spend a lot of time in a forum, but we often forget that the majority of people do not. Hell, most of the people watching Star Wars are "casuals" these days, and "casuals" don't tend to have the polarizing opinions that "hardcore" fans do. Besides when has internet fanboy rage ever stopped something in Hollywood? I doubt Hollywood cares or even knows those whiners exist.
Those people "IRL" are the ones exploding the internet. They do it becuse they are anonymous and say their actual opinions without being looked at like a monster from their friends, family, coworkers etc. Dont be naive.

Hollywood is in america. Do not forget the history here. Putting a black man and white woman leads in a romantic relationship is still a huge deal here. That would hit to the soul of southern white america. Racism has not gone away. Look at the youtube comments on people who are interracial couples. Look at the hateful stuff said on peoples facebook pictures.

We are not talking about internet fanboys. We are talking about the population. When was the last time that america produced a balanced and truthful war movie? By that I mean showing all the awful things we do? Hollywood doesnt dare do it. Why? Because of outrage.... by mainly the same population described above.


Now its time to wake up wishbone you are going to be late for school.
