So because an AFRICAN woman is beautiful (and we all know that Africans CAN'T be beautiful) let's just throw her onto the Caucasian pile

As I look back in movies with interracial love themes, most seem to shy away from black male/white female.....but have no problem with white male/ black female.

Have anyone ever scene A-Listers like Jolie, Johansen, Theron, Julia Roberts or Fox ever do a full out sex scene with a black man? (A-Lister not necessarily meaning in talent. But in appeal) If there is a relationship, it's kinda "hinted" at. But no real "full out" expression of it.


Conversely, the black A-List females have more love or sex scenes with white men.....




Does Will Smith have a point?? Is there still some squimishness of behalf of Hollywood on this?

State your case either way....

Be civil.
In case you all forgot what the original subject of this thread is I'm reminding you.

It's so stupid to be dissecting people in fractions of whiteness or blackness but that's what this thread has become.

i know that some whites consider egyptians to be an ethnicity of thier race. but that can be refuted because it's as one-sided as saying a biracial child is of one race.

they are obviously very different from a swede for example. i mean "very". it is stretching it to call them caucasians as per it's meaning and connotations (white), it's a rather general term but not very technical and specific in genetics. it would actually be more correct to call them their own race, even if a "label" was not produced to be applicable.

i mean it is rather comical to think of the juxtaposition of the picture of the pale, frail victorian queen elizabeth of european descent to ramses and nefertiti in the desert. besides that, the cultures are night and day (understatement). um, i don't buy the spun correlation there. lol

You'd never see Scarlet Johansen, Jolie, Fox or Theron do this with a black man. These scenes always go farther with the white guy and the black female.
Indie flicks? You've proving my point. Mainstream movies?? Never. Especially with big names.

Different culture, yes, but they are both caucasias as far as race goes.

Read this. The supreme court agreed that Indians are Caucasian, and same race as white Aamericans, but not 'white'. Therefore not all Caucasians are white.

Not All Caucasians Are White: The Supreme Court Rejects Citizenship for Asian Indians

In its decision in the case of U.S. v. Bhagat Singh Thind (1923), the Supreme Court deemed Asian Indians ineligible for citizenship because U.S. law allowed only free whites to become naturalized citizens. The court conceded that Indians were “Caucasians” and that anthropologists considered them to be of the same race as white Americans, but argued that “the average man knows perfectly well that there are unmistakable and profound differences.” The Thind decision also led to successful efforts to denaturalize some who had previously become citizens. This represented a particular threat in California, where a 1913 law prohibited aliens ineligible for citizenship from owning or leasing land. Only in 1946 did Congress, which was beginning to recognize that India would soon be independent and a major world power, pass a new law that allowed Indians to become citizens and also established a small immigration quota. But major immigration to the United States from South Asia did not begin until after immigration laws were sharply revised in 1965.
