Black Man/White Woman couples, as portrayed in the media, are going to face taboo and historical connotations, whether played for comedy or drama. This trope, the inversion of the above situation, is connected to the idea a black woman should never date a white man. This bias bleeds into the personal lives of any black woman dating a white man by choice, as thanks to the history of sexual abuse of black women by slave owners, it's assumed any white man black woman pairing is detrimental to her instead of a genuine loving relationship. This can be seen in antebellum and slavery films such as Queen and Roots. When these relationships are portrayed, two issues may work their way into the narrative: A black woman may be accused of "selling out" by dating white men. It is expected that black women will only be attracted to black men. If her lover is wealthy in addition to being white, she may receive accusations that she's a Gold Digger, or may be an assumed victim of some sexual coercion like black slaves in the past. A white man may also encounter derision. Black women are seen as less desirable outside of black communities, and he may not be accepted by his peers regardless of what she looks like or her economic status. So a white woman is a more socially acceptable option. In the worse case, he too will be derided for being a "Race traitor." This trope only applies to White man/Black woman relationships where race is a major issue. If a White man and a Black woman just so happen to be in a relationship and nobody brings up their race and/or they have simple relationship issues that have nothing to do with race, then it's just a normal relationship with typical relationship troubles. See also Mighty Whitey and Mellow Yellow for a similar trope involving Asian women and white men — which often meets with better acceptance, at least from white men — and the gender-inverted version White Gal on Black Guy Drama. But Not Too Black can play into all these tropes. The Chief's Daughter is also a common trope in Black Gal on White Guy Drama. See Maligned Mixed Marriage. noreallife Examples |

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: Will's aunt marries a "tall" man in a Very Special Episode. Most of the family is surprised, but don't know quite how to approach the issue; Will's mother is directly against it. This was the reason why Will's aunt didn't mention his skin color before. Although, the black cab driver whom the family first assumed was the fiancé didn't seem bothered by it at all (he thought the family was gonna give him his own girl). | |

On Blossom, a waiter makes a snide comment to Tony and his wife Shelly when they're out to dinner. Later, he sadly notes, "He broke the spell.", indicating that they hadn't had to deal with this yet. She on the other hand, is more cynical, stating that she knew it would happen eventually and that people probably have said nasty things, just not to their faces. | |

New Amsterdam (2008): The immortal protagonist John Amsterdam had a relationship with a black woman in the 1940s and impregnated her. Due to the racial segregation of the period, they tried to keep it a secret until her father takes her back home, berating John for becoming involved with a woman he couldn't publicly provide for. After fighting in World War II, John returned to take care of her after she's delivered their son, who later grew up and keeps his father's immortality a secret while helping him figure out a way to lift his immortality curse. | |

In House, an interracial couple faced opposition from the (white) male's father and they interpreted this as the dad being a racist jerk. He was, sort of; just not in the way they thought. He didn't want him to date this particular black girl. House deduces that they share a rare genetic illness, meaning that they're actually half-siblings, resulting from an affair the father had with the woman's mother. It's implied that the relationship doesn't survive this revelation. | |

Invoked in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus: when you first reach the headquarters of the American Resistance in New York, Super Spesh, the only present white man, notes that only black people and "deviants" still fight the Nazi rule of America. Whilst the player is initially set up to believe that Super Spesh is gay, it is then revealed that his "deviancy" is loving Sassy Black Woman Grace Walker and fathering their mixed-race daughter, Abby. This is also invoked in the flashbacks to BJ's childhood, where his Archnemesis Dad goes ballistic at the idea of young William "being sweet" on a black girl, and it is indicated that the two had been caught kissing. |

In a Sweet Valley High book "Are We In Love?", the twins' older brother Steven begins dating a black girl. Sure enough, this results in several characters being revealed as racist jerks, given their negative reaction. Adding to the drama, despite genuinely liking each other, both Steve and the girl suffer from the nagging feeling that they have little in common and equally little chemistry and wonder if they're simply continuing to date to prove all the naysayers wrong. They amicably break up at the end of the book. | |

All My Children's Tom and Livia dealt with this. While most of their problems were typical soap problems, they seemed to be exacerbated by the racial difference—when Livia's son's father resurfaced, Tom feared she would end their relationship, not just to rekindle an old romance, but because she might prefer to be with a black man. | |

The Symbol of the Unconquered: Jefferson is half-black but has a lot of hatred for black people. In a flashback it's shown that he was dating a white girl while passing as white, but when she learned he was mixed she ran off. Subverted with Hugh and Eve. Hugh is in love with Eve but won't confess his love for fear of being spurned. When Eve reveals that she's black, not white, they happily end up together. |

In the first level of BioShock Infinite, you witness a black woman and white man being led onto a stage to be publicly stoned. Their crime? Being romantically involved. Luckily, if you attempt to throw the baseball at Fink, and you defeat the guards around the stage once you are revealed to be the "False Shepard", they will be spared. They appear at a later level to thank the protagonist for his heroism. Attempting to throw the ball at the couple, however, will have Fink's assistant at the later level thank you instead, leaving the couple's fate unknown. | |

A lesser known aspect of Jungle Fever. As a result of the main couple's Where da White Women At? relationship, the white woman's former boyfriend is left single. He wants to date a black woman but is beaten up by a group of white men for it. He still goes on the date anyway, though. The trope is discussed at length after the black woman in question leaves a store full of white men and one of them says that she's attractive and he'd definitely have sex with her but he would NEVER be in a public relationship with a black woman. | |

Technically half alien, but still Caucasian from his mother's side; Spock and Uhura have a relationship in the rebooted Star Trek (2009) and its sequels. As racial differences are shown to be over in the future, the tension comes from the cultural difference between species. Probably one of the few sci-fi variants of this trope. | |

Their relationship is a secret due to the scandal it would cause. When they finally do go out together in public, they're assaulted by a white man who's angry about Nova's work and thinks Calvin is a traitor for dating her. | |

Downplayed in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, as Cesar Vialpando is Hispanic, but his relationship with Kendl Johnson has shade of this : both her brothers (but mostly Sweet) aren't too thrilled about it and the fact that Cesar is the leader of a rival gang certainly doesn't help. Ultimately subverted after CJ meets Cesar in person, the two of them becoming good friends and CJ fully supporting Cesar's decision to propose to Kendl near the end of the game. | |

Played with in Archer, where most of the racial tension getting in the way of Sterling's relationship with Lana comes from his own tendency to say ignorant and insensitive things. It's also occasionally implied that Sterling's mother, Malory, who is repeatedly shown to be both somewhat prejudiced and uncomfortably possessive of her son, may not approve of their match. | |

During the '80s, General Hospital had Tom and Simone. Her mother disapproved. Ten years later, Keesha Ward and Jason Quartermaine. Their respective grandparents disapproved. His because of the frequent clashes that the two families had had over the years, hers because she feared that his family would eventually put their collective foot down and forbid Jason from seeing her. This never happened and both families warmed up to and accepted the relationship once they realized that each was a lovely person that anyone would want to be part of their family. And ten years after that, Nikolas Cassadine and Gia Campbell. His uncle Stefan disapproved, though he swore that it was not Gia's race that was the problem, but rather the fact that she was not a member of the aristocracy, an absolute must for a potential bride of Nikolas. |

After she's outed, this doesn't go down well with her friends, especially since she wrote an article against "dating the oppressor", making her come across like a huge hypocrite.

Kim has no problem being with him, she just doesn't want to be judged by her classmates at her all-black school so she avoids being affectionate with him in public. Matthew points out that they're going to get looks regardless of where they are or what they do so they should just focus on being together and not worry about what other people think. | |

In one of the Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry novels, the protagonist (a young black girl) gets a little bit of Ship Tease with a white boy in town, culminating in the boy giving her a picture. The girl's father flips out and destroys the picture when he finds it, telling her it will put the whole family in danger if anyone finds out. Sadly, this happened to be true, given that the novels were set in the South during Jim Crow. | |

This is an important subplot of A Bronx Tale. Calogero, a teenager from an Italian neighborhood in the Bronx falls in love with Jane, a black girl from his high school. Their relationship remains a difficult topic because of the tumultuous 1960s setting; C keeps it a secret from his friends because they're all viciously racist, and he gets a bottle thrown at his head by a black teenager when he ventures too far into Jane's neighbourhood. C's father is a lot less racist than C's friends, though he says he doesn't believe in interracial relationships. Interestingly, C's mentor Sonny (a mob boss) actively encourages C to pursue it. Jane later rejects him when she discovers C's friends beat up her brother, though he didn't join in. They reconcile by the end after she learns the truth. | |

Scandal: Discussed by several different characters regarding Olivia and President Fitzgerald's relationship, but ultimately averted. Olivia at one point likens herself to Sally Hemmings during a particularly heated confrontation between the two and Fitz rightfully asserts that she is not a victim with no agency here; she's as willing a participant in their affair as he is. There are a million other reasons other than Olivia or Fitz's race, not least of which being Fitz is the married, sitting president, that other characters disapprove of and outright try to stop them from being together, publicly or in private. | |

On Glee, Mercedes and Sam date, and there is one episode with some drama. Mercedes isn't sure if she is ready to deal with the backlash of having a white boyfriend (especially since she's becoming more and more famous), and Sam doesn't understand the complexities of racial issues, which leads him to saying some mildly offensive things entirely by accident (and it's mostly endearing because he's not too bright). They work through it in the end and decide they'll face any backlash together. | |

To Kill a Mockingbird: Dolphus Raymond is a white man who has children with a black woman - although he has to pretend to be the town drunk so that the town can deal with it. Note that, as the trope description says, a white man fathering children with a black woman was unremarkable (although this was less the case as slavery shrank further into the past and near-total segregation of the races became the ideal scenario as far as genteel white society was concerned). What the other white residents couldn't forgive him for was actually acknowledging his children and living with his family in the black part of town. | |

In Monster's Ballnote Which by the way marks the first time an African American won the Best Actress Oscar, in 2002(!), this is not only a source of conflict, but the main one at that. A white death row guard begins a relationship with a black woman after he walked her husband to the electric chair, which he keeps hidden from her. She finds out the truth by the end, but it's left open if they'll remain together. | |

The 2005 remake of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (titled Guess Who) reversed the roles with a young black woman surprising her family by marrying a white man. Also inverts aspects of the trope with the white man having a Disappeared Dad and being raised by a single mother while the black girl has two successful, loving parents. The woman also mentions that they've dealt with nasty comments, and towards the end of the film, the father realizes that the man quit his job after his boss himself said something rude. |

Part of the basic premise of Valerie is that African-American Sophia Hess (AKA the vigilante-turned-superheroine Shadow Stalker) is romantically intimate with Theo Anders, son of the Neo-Nazi supervillain known as Kaiser. When Sophia gets pregnant, she hides her pregnancy from everyone right up until going into labor, then lies about the baby's paternity and claims it was a Child by Rape by an anonymous assailant, to protect her baby-daddy from reprisal. Theo, meanwhile, is willing to murder the supervillain Hookwolf in cold blood to protect his girlfriend and their baby. | |

So when best friends Sephy (black) and Callum (white) fall in love, Sephy's wealthy black friends treat her with derision and Callum's poor, white family think he's selling out. Just to make things more difficult for them, there's also an Uptown Girl element as Sephy comes from an exceedingly rich, well-connected family whose Callum's mother initially worked for. Their relationship eventually results in Callum's death. | |

Earth's Children: Initially, the Aterian people - who are predominantly black and implied to live in Northern Africa - didn't care about European Wymez settling down and having a child with one of their women, and welcomed him into community. Sadly, this didn't last, due to white tribes who had moved to the area competing with the Aterians for land and resources. Despite Wymez trying to help resolve things diplomatically, assholes on both sides kept provoking each other and pushing for violence. Many Aterians began to distrust even Wymez and made him and his family unwelcome; fearing for their safety, Wymez and his mate decided it was better to leave before things got worse. | |

This is the entire premise of BOB �� ABISHOLA. At first, all of Abishola's friends and family are in favor of a relationship due to Bob being a wealthy businessman and Abishola supposedly not having a better option. However, once Abishola is introduced to Chukwuemeka, the son of her aunt's friend (who is younger, better looking and Nigerian) everyone changes their mind about Bob except Abishola's uncle. Bob's family have their reservations, but ultimately approve of him pursuing an African woman, even if his mother is fond of spouting casual racism. The couple also get quite a few looks on their first official date, which results in much trolling on their part. | |

The only interracial married couple to compete on the American version of The Amazing Race note There have been several interracial dating couples, usually Latino/White. The only marriage that resulted from the show is an interracial one but they didn’t race together. Christina (Asian) and Azaria (black) from season 12 are now married but she ran with her dad and he ran with his sister was a white man/black woman couple, Brian and Erica of season 15. They said part of the reason they did the show was to prove to their still somewhat skeptical families (her mom in particular) that they were truly in love and committed to making their marriage work. | |

On an episode of The Golden Girls, Dorothy's son announced his surprise engagement to a black woman, who also happened to be much older. A lot of comedy was mined from Discriminate and Switch - it at first appeared Dorothy might take issue with the interracial aspect, but she was upset at the age difference. Dorothy assumed the fiancée's family would have a similar problem with the age difference, but nope, they were more upset their daughter's fiancé was white. | |

The first was the daughter of a black family who had recently moved to the neighborhood, resulting in some snide comments from several people—even Kelly needled him about how "hip" he was being. The second was a girl he met during a road trip with buddy Steve, resulting in some very negative reactions from her ex and his friends, as well as some stereotypical rednecks. | |

The Bolt Chronicles: Played with in a complex way in "The Imaginary Letters." The story consists of several letters the white-furred dog Bolt makes up in his head while apart from his black cat lover Mittens, in which he lists all the things he loves about their relationship. At one point he mentions finding his white fur on her black fur to be sexy. While fur color has never been a prejudice hot button issue for Bolt, cats have been in the past — thus the fur color issue is treated symbolically. | |

This is at the heart of Sapphire. When the Superintendent hazard that the murdered woman, Sapphire Robbins, was a fair-skinned black woman passing herself off as white, the murder case becomes a lot more complicated. She was dating a white man—who knew she was black—and was pregnant with his child, and the suspect pool now includes him; his racist family, who could've murdered her if they discovered she was black, or if they believed she was pulling a Baby Trap on him; random racist thugs who objected to a black girl dating a white boy; or various members of the black community who didn't like either her pretending to be white or dating a white man. | |

Then he breaks up with her, at which point Dre assumes that Andre is racist and enlists Junior to find out information about him, only to find out that the "Becky" that Andre left Zoey for is in fact another black girl. The mother of the Johnson family, Rainbow, is the daughter of one such couple. Her parents are a pair of hippies who were active in the 1960s Civil Rights movements. They get explored more in the prequel series mixed•ish. |

This causes her to become pregnant, and their attempt to cover it up results in Amin finding out. Kay is tortured, killed, and mutilated, and the same would have happened to Nicolas if he hadn't been rescued mid-torture. | |
