When I watch US TV shows here in the UK, I'm surprised at the lack on interracial couples shown. I don't know whether this is just a reflection of US society, perhaps there are very few mixed-race couples or whether it's just a problem with showing them on TV.
Ideally showing mixed race couples on TV should be so unremarkable that we shouldn't even be able to list the shows they appear in because they are ubiquitous.
I have 3 questions
1. Why are you people so awesome?
2. Why do you have the hottest girls?
3. Where is a good place to live over there?
1. Why are you people so awesome?

1. We have to make up for poor dentistry somehow
2. Socialised medicine
3. Anywhere (but Bristol is best - especially if you're a tit man *)
* - semi-obscure cockney rhyming slang reference
1. Born like it.
2. Ill give a serious answer on this. As i am obviously proud to be British, and agree that we do have some amazingly hot women here, there hasnt been many times where ive heard people from other countries say that we have the hottest women, its always usually America, Poland or somewhere else.
There are BEAUTIFUL women over here, of course along with these come the fair share of the not so beautiful. (beauty is only skin deep?...)
3. Depends on what you prefer. City life most people would say London but you'll have to have a nice amount of moolar to spend. If you like the quite life then anywhere in the countryside you'll love.
I thought that if a British man speaks with an upper-class accent then Americans think he's gay - therefore, the American gays like that. :dunno:
There is a very posh upper-class Brit actor, Rupert Everett, who's gay. I understand he's huge in America.
I think you're right here. :thumbsup:
I should have been more specific. When I brought that up I was referring to the variety of accents that women have over there.
We don't really dislike them, it's kind of like Canada / USA
I might say I hate them, But I don't really.
I have Scottish and Welsh friends and we all take the piss out of each other, but we love doing it.
England on the other hand, bah, don't get me started on those limey sheep-shaggers and northern monkeys..

You are too kind. :hatsoff:
If you are referring to the hottest girls in porn, then I think that (the majority) of these girls know how to do porn - perhaps it's built into their genes?
I suppose it depends on what type of lifestyle you're looking for? If you are the type who enjoys parties, nightclubs, etc, then London is the tops. If you're looking for a quiet life then Orkney & Shetland are the places you should be heading for.
Thanks for all the answers I have to say you guys are lucky bastards for a lot of reasons but especially for having some of the girls that you have and I am not just talking about porn stars I am talking about your women in general.
As far as places to live is it nice in the south around eastbourne or Portsmouth?
Many moons ago, yes. Unfortunately this town and city are now largely populated by chavs and their chavery ways.
No. Ideally it should be so unremarkable that we can list shows they appear in but we shouldn't feel the need to because it doesn't matter.
... I was simply answering a question "What is the reaction when and if such shows air?" I gave examples of the reaction.
Now the very fact that someone is able to give examples of interracial couples on TV is evidence to the contrary??
The better answer would have been - "so ubiquitous I can't list any"?
ok... So ubiquitous I can't list any.
...jumping to conclusions?
Are there any other possibilities that come to mind?
....Maybe you aren't watching every show? :dunno: (I know I'm not)...
Grey's Anatomy? ER? My Name Is Earl? Big Brother? Scrubs? Lost? Desperate Housewives? I Love Lucy? Daytime Soaps? Supernatural? The West Wing? etc...
It may be so ubiquitous in fact that people forget that the shows they love do in fact have interracial relationships.
The irony is, now that the public is becoming color blind and paying attention to other more universal conflicts in relationships, certain groups are disappointed. They feel these shows should "wrestle with the challenges and complexities of such unions."
Apparently the TV producers (and the U.S.) just can't win.
