** In a surprise bit of ValuesDissonance, there's another reason to object to the marriage: Poitier's character is at least ''fifteen years'' older than Hepburn's daughter.

*** It was also barely a re-make, since the original film was dead serious and [[{{Anvilicious}}made almost entirely out of anvils]], whereas the 2005 version (aside from everything else that was different about it) was a comedy. In fact, it could be argued that they both sucked in opposite ways -- although if you're in 1967, maybe SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped that we have the luxury of being a smidge subtler about today.

* While not the UrExample, one of the earliest and most horrifying {{trope codifier}}s for films of this trope is ''BirthOfANation'' (aka ''The Clansman''), a [[{{understatement}} controversial but influential]] 1915 film in which the Ku Klux Klan is founded in large part because the white men need to defend the honor of their women, who are being taken away to be raped by AlwaysChaoticEvil [[ScaryBlackMan black men]].

* Played distressingly straight in the romantic comedy ''TheBrothers.'' Bill Bellamy's character only dates white women after a nasty turn with a black ex, since he sees them as timid and docile. Not only is that two trite stereotypes right there, it doesn't help that the black women in his subplot (his mother and ex) are both ball-busting harpies. The white girl is the only one who was likeable, since she is not intimidated by his ex, and calls Bellamy out on his bullshit when he chides her for being "no different" after the two ladies fight.

** And in a whole other kind of {{Unfortunate Implications}}, [[StrangledByTheRedString Mickey and Martha abruptly end up together despite sharing next to no screen time, and not really having anything in common besides being black.]]

**** 10XRose was one-sided and 11XRiver is still being continued with little romance from 11's side, Pete and Jackie had a marriage and Rory and Amy did get married eventually. It appears as if this trope was in full force during the Russel T. Davies era during the 10'th doctor's reign, because the count has evened out since then. Heck, there was even a relationship between an Indian woman and a white man.

* On the [[strike: CW]] BET's sitcom ''TheGame'', star quarterback Jason is married to blonde Kelly.

* [[RENT Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel]] got ''hate mail'' for being married.

TropeName comes from ''BlazingSaddles,'' but that line was used by the African-American hero to lure some Klansman to rob them of their hoods for a disguise. It's also worth noting that the affection isn't one-sided in the least in the film. There are plenty of white women on the prowl, wondering if [[BiggusDickus what they heard]] is true. And you know what they say after ''that''...

* A deleted scene in AmericanHistoryX features an interracial couple being harassed by two of the bad guys. The black guy manages to keep his cool and delivers insults that actually sting the villians.

*** In fact, asides from JackieXPete, 10XRose, 11XRiver (which is Hispanic Woman and White Man), RoryXAmy and MathaXMickey, all the couples are of a black man with white woman.

* Casued a bit of controversy when [[UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball NFL Star]] [[AwesomeMcCoolname Chad Ochocinco's]] dating show included very few black women.

* In ''MegaManPoweredUp'', when you play as the blonde, blue-eyed Roll, [[UncleTomfoolery Oilman]] flirts with her during their pre-battle dialogue. Then again, since she's the only female character in the game, so he may be just generally girl-crazy.

** Not true, as out of the 85 women that he first auditioned, there was a good number of black women. Of these 85, 3 were chosen to be part of top 16, and 2 advanced to the next round.

This one is a bit more controversial, even to this day in some parts of the world. In RealLife, black man/white woman pairs are very common and both racial groups have their own views about it, some positive, some negative, most neutral. White man/black woman pairs don't get as much attention. there's a DoubleStandard in effect here dating back to the antebellum South: sexual relationships between female slaves and white men were (if not accepted) tolerated, although they were arguably nearly always non-consensual for the slave woman. The alternate relationship, of a white woman and a male slave, could result in death for the black male. Obviously, much of this has died down, though old biases still linger. These days, black women also have to contend with the stereotype that they're angry, unattractive man-haters, to the point that the news media [[http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2010/06/21/the-media-v-black-women-the-peculiar-case-of-the-media’s-obsession-with-unmarried-black-women/ actually runs stories]] about why unmarried black woman are unmarried.

* TheSimpsons kids are 1/64 African American--and Homer 1/32--due to their white ancestor Mabel Simpson marrying a black man named Virgil.

*** [[KillBill O-Ren Ishii]] makes quick work of anyone who mentions her mixed ethnicity in a negative manner.

* Will Smith played half of such a couple on AVerySpecialEpisode of ''SesameStreet'' dealing with racism.

* TheSimpsons kids are 1/64 African American due to their white ancestor Mabel Simpson marrying a black man named Virgil.

* ChrisRock did a load of stuff on this topic.

* The 1967 film ''Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?'' starring KatherineHepburn and SidneyPoitier, about a young white woman surprising her family and friends by becoming engaged to a black man. The movie was one of the first films to touch on the subject of interracial marriage seriously. Keep in mind that all anti-interracial marriage laws were deemed unconstitutional ''only six months to the day'' that this movie came out. [[SoYeah Yeah]].
