Black Gal on White Guy Drama | |
| The Sapphires / int_2dcb1d2e | comment |
Black Gal on White Guy Drama: Averted. Gail's parents tease David about his relationship with Gail but are happy to welcome him into the family. The other side of this trope, however, is not addressed onscreen. | |

The Alcoholic | |
| The Sapphires / int_7eebe99c | comment |
The Alcoholic: David. He sobers up a little after realising how good the girls are, but his drinking still lands him in trouble, especially when he forgets that Myron told him that their armed escort and the band would not be travelling with them to Nha Trang. | |

But Not Too Black | |
| The Sapphires / int_e251fae2 | comment |
But Not Too Black: Kay is a member of the stolen generation, and her time spent in Melbourne passing as a white girl (after being taken away by an agency and put into a mission as a child) is a source of tension between her and Gail. She also feels it necessary to point out to Robby that she's black, she's just "pale black." Robby responds by saying he is too. | |
