Interracial Couples on TV that Broke Stereotypes in 2. Interracial relationships have increased in America in the less- than- 5. Supreme Court, but in 2. Among non- married couples, the numbers are even higher, and continue to increase. Interracial couples, too, are becoming increasing present on television and in other media. In some ways, interracial couples are simply a side effect of diversity; as shows incorporate different people of different races and identities in order to tell more stories and represent more people, they also create the conditions that make interracial couples and families possible. The increase in interracial couples in 2.

That being said, interracial relationships have their own stories to tell. While some shows opted to normalize interracial relationships by not openly discussing race, increasingly, interracial couples don’t simply appear on television, but their racial identities are taken into consideration. This informs and creates specific problems, challenges, and victories that are specific to interracial relationships, and more accurately portrays the realities of many interracial couples.

For the purposes of this list, some ethnic identities are included under the umbrella of “interracial.” While some prefer to use other terms, such as “multiethnic” or “multicultural” to describe these relationships, they are included on this list, because those relationships, too, are representations of diversity. Of course, the representation that is seen today on television would not be possible without previous television shows leading the way and creating frameworks to inspire and build from. But 2. 01. 5 was also standout year, because it put interracial relationships front- and- center, showed relationships that had not been seen before, and continued to add depth to relationships from previous years. Here are the 1. 4 Interracial Couples on TV that Broke Stereotypes in 2. Grey’s Anatomy (2. Executive producer Shonda Rhimes created Grey’s Anatomy (2.

Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh), an Asian American character, dated both an African- American man, Preston Burke (Isaiah Washington), and a white man, Owen Hunt (Kevin Mc. Kidd). Cristina and Owen married, but later divorced. Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) and Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw) also married and divorced over the course of the show.

In the most recent season, Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams) and April Kepner (Sarah Drew) struggle to keep their relationship going – but such is the nature of the show. The success of Grey’s Anatomy helped Shonda Rhimes to create other shows with diverse casts, including Scandal (2. How to Get Away With Murder (2. Additionally, Private Practice (2. Rhimes- produced spin- off of Grey’s Anatomy, also included interracial relationships, such as Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh) and Sam Bennett (Taye Diggs). Jay and Gloria from Modern Family (2.

Jay (Ed O’Neill) and Gloria’s (Sofia Vergara) relationship could easily be seen as a negative stereotype in itself – a younger, beautiful woman marries an older man in order to get citizenship. However, the couple’s relationship to each other subverts these stereotypes by showing how they do genuinely support, understand, and care about each other. Race, multinational, and multiethnic identities are discussed on the show as Jay and Gloria co- parent Manny (Rico Rodriguez), her son from a previous marriage. Jay and Gloria’s inclusion in the show illustrate a different sort of “modern family,” and shows their relationship within the larger context of a multiethnic extended family. Not only is Jay the stepfather, but Gloria and Jay’s adult children (and their families) also learn how to get along. Glenn and Maggie from The Walking Dead (2.

The Walking Dead (2. Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun) and Maggie Greene’s (Lauren Cohen) relationship as the heart of the show. While navigating the zombie- infested post- apocalypse, the two met, fell in love, and even chose to get married. The most recent season, which is currently airing, has created a great deal of uncertainty – from pregnancy to Glenn’s near- death experience – but it is clear that nothing short of death would drive them apart. The show’s central romantic relationship was also cited by Aziz Ansari as one of the two times that he could think of an Asian man kissing anyone on television.

In his show, Master of None (2. Ansari’s character makes a similar reference. Cece and Schmidt from New Girl (2. The most recent season of New Girl (2.

Jess Day’s (Zooey Deschanel) best friend, Cece (Hannah Simone), and roommate, Schmidt (Max Greenfield). Because she did not want to disappoint her parents, Cece was previously engaged to Shivrang (Satya Bhabha), but she eventually called off the traditional Indian wedding ceremony. Now that Cece and Schmidt are preparing for a wedding of their own, they are having to negotiate what their interracial and multifaith ceremony will be. Additionally, Cece’s parents do not approve of the match, because Schmidt is a white, Jewish man.

New Girl has used the wedding as an opportunity to explore some of the challenges that interracial couples can face, including stigma or rejection from family members. Scandal (2. 01. 2)When Scandal (2. African- American woman in almost 4. Kerry Washington stars as Olivia Pope, a political crisis manager, who has an on- off relationship with Fitzgerald Grant (Tony Goldwyn).

Fitz is a married man – oh, and he happens to be the President of the United States. Olivia Pope is an educated and career- driven woman, and her complex relationship with Fitz is not merely a lustful fling or an abusive manipulative tactic. The show creates an opportunity to explore the intricacies of their relationship rather than oversimplifying their dynamic.

The Mindy Project (2. Mindy Lahiri (Mindy Kaling) is an OB- GYN who balances her professional and personal life on The Mindy Project (2. Hi-Def Quality Three Hearts (2015).

Mindy Kaling has, both in the show and in other projects, promoted body positivity, including for those that fall outside of the conventional Hollywood beauty standards. Likewise, her character is confident with and about her body, and has had an active dating life over the course of the show. Some critics “called out” Mindy Kaling because her character only seemed to have white male love interests, rather than dating any men of color. Her character now has had a child with and is engaged to long- time love interest Danny (Chris Messina), but their relationship still feels far from stable. Brooklyn Nine- Nine (2.

Brooklyn Nine- Nine. Captain Ray Holt’s (Andre Braugher) husband, Kevin Cozner (Marc Evan Jackson), is a white man, and the two discuss how their homosexual, interracial relationship faced a double stigma because of their sexuality and race. Simultaneously, the show’s choice to treat Holt’s marriage like any other in this workplace comedy, rather than making it the central focus of his character’s story lines, contrasts it with many other comedies that default to stereotypes for laughs. Holt’s marriage is not the only interracial relationship that the show depicts.

Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz) dated Marcus (Nick Cannon), the nephew of Captain Holt, and Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) and Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumero) are currently dating on the show. How to Get Away With Murder (2. How to Get Away With Murder(2. Shondaland production, and it continues producer Shonda Rhimes’ commitment to diversity on television. Viola Davis plays Annalise Keating, a law professor and defense attorney.

Davis has been nominated for a Golden Globe and won an Emmy for her portrayal of Annalise. The show revolves around two murders, one of which is the murder of Annalise’s husband. Before her marriage, however, Annalise had a romantic relationship with Eve Rothlow (Famke Janssen).

When Eve returns to defend Annalise’s lover, who is on trial for the murder of Annalise’s husband, the two women’s lives intersect again. Annalise’s relationship isn’t the only interracial romance on the show.
