It happens and it's unfortunate. But I think the telling thing is Europe in this little microcosom is more intolerant than the good ole U.S. in my own opinion. And frankly I think the black white relationship(with Will Smith being the black half of it) really woudln't have been a big problem over here. It might have turned a few people off but Will is starting to eclipse his race. You see Will Smith first then black actor second at least I think so. What is really disturbing to me is that Europe that is supposed to be home to such progressive societies would not turn out to watch a movie with a black romantic couple. I have a perfect way to blow the whole race thing right out of the water.
More gay and lesbian couples and the story is told that doesn't play it up in a big deal that they are homosexual. After that is pushed through and people stop looking at that as being offensive seeing a man and a woman on screen in a romantic role and they are interracial or both black/asian/latin would no longer be a big deal I think.
