I’m old fashioned, and my objection is glorifying an inter-racial sexual relationship.
I don’t think this will help SS in her career, either. I’ll think less of her if she goes through with it.
I know a LOT of people here think it’s cool but I don’t. And I have many interracial marriages in our family.
I don’t think interracial relationships are ‘cool’ any more than any other human relationship is ‘cool’. They just are.
And I don’t see telling a story that actually happened as a matter of ‘glorifying’ anything. Black/White romantic relationships and marriages in that era were far from ‘glorious’. They were very difficult, and a great credit to the character of those who managed to make them successful despite all of the obstacles.
