History Sandbox / WhereDaWhiteWomenAt

Following a discussion in the Trope Repair Shop ending in late 2020, examples that don't properly reflect the trope have been placed here indefinitely, but can be moved to their proper pages at any troper's discretion

* [[Film/{{Hairspray}} ''In my ivory tower, life was just a Hostess snack/ But now I've tasted chocolate, and I'm never going back!'']]

* Since their groundbreaking roles in 1992's soap ''Por estas Calles'', Venezuelan actors Gledys Ibarra and Franklin Virguez tends to end in roles with this kind of relationship, given that they are two of the most prominent black actors in a country where most of the acting pool is fair-skinned (and Ms. Ibarra herself [[ButNotTooBlack has lighter skin and green eyes]]). They are helped by the fact that Venezuela is more accepting of interracial couples.

* {{Averted|Trope}} in ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'' with a dash of UnfortunateImplications; writer Matt Wayne tried to introduce a black love interest for Betty so that she could also have her own love triangle. Since he was portrayed as TheAce, the editor vetoed it and had him changed to be a white character. In another instance, writers got to vote on a new love interest for Cheryl Blossom. The black character won out, but when the "results comic" was finally released, the character had [[ButNotTooBlack much paler skin]] than he was originally designed with.

* The music video to the 1989 hit "Chorando se foi (Lambada)" by the French pop group Kaoma, which made the Brazilian Lambada dance style an instant world craze, features the mutual PrecociousCrush of the black beachcomber boy and the white daugter of the beach restaurant owner, which [[OverprotectiveDad the girl's racist father disapproves of]], until he's made to reconsider by the singers and the beach crowd led by them.

* Implied in some places between Emma Cullen and Sam Chisolm in ''Film/{{The Magnificent Seven|2016}}'' though it's more then likely RelationshipWritingFumble.

* Played with in ''ComicBook/ThePulse'', when a black nurse gives the white ComicBook/JessicaJones crap about having a black boyfriend. ComicBook/{{Luke Cage|HeroForHire}} later gets this from the new Power Man.

* ''Film/APatchOfBlue'', a 1965 film made during the ''UsefulNotes/CivilRightsMovement'' involves a black teenage boy befriending and then falling in love with a blind white girl. Several people slander the black boy by accusing him of having a fetish for white women.

* ''Film/APatchOfBlue'' has a black teenage boy befriending and then falling in love with a blind white girl.

* ''Literature/SherlockHolmes'': In "The Adventure of the Yellow Face", it is revealed that Effie Munro, the wife of Holmes' client Grant, was previously married to a black man named John Hebron, and had a child with him. She fears the negative consequences, both from her husband and society as a whole, if the child is discovered and word gets out, but fortunately her husband proves very open minded about it and assures her they will find a way to make it work.

[[folder:Theatre]]
* ''{{Theatre/Othello}}'': Italian Desdemona falls for the "moor" Othello. It has been argued that in Shakespeare's time "moor" didn't mean black necessarily, and through history he was often played as Arabic. The argument that Othello is Semitic rather than African is more political than textual, given that the villain [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain Iago]] refers to him as "thick lips" and "a black ram", which aren't terribly ambiguous...
--> "[[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain I am one]], sir, that comes to tell you your daughter and the Moor are now making '''[[UnusualEuphemism the beast with two backs!]]"'''
--> "Even now, now, very now, an '''old black ram''' / [[UnusualEuphemism Is tupping]] '''your white ewe!"'''
* The play ''HarlemDuet'' by Djanet Sears is an updating of the love story from Othello. During one scene, the male character, who has recently left his wife for a white woman, both exemplifies and deconstructs this trope.
* Aaron the Moor in ''Theatre/TitusAndronicus'' has an affair with Tamora, queen of the Goths and empress of Rome, [[ChocolateBaby and their child turns out to be black.]]
* ''Theatre/TheMerchantOfVenice'' has two examples:
** One of Portia's wealthy suitors is the Prince of Morocco, who begs her to "mislike me not for my complexion". When he loses the EngagementChallenge, she is quite glad: "Let all of his complexion choose me so."
** Later on, Lorenzo mentions that Launcelot had a fling with a black moor and that she is now "with child". [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse It's never mentioned again]], but it ''is'' used as a setup for an Incredibly Lame Pun on "moor" and "more".
* [[Film/{{Hairspray}} ''In my ivory tower, life was just a Hostess snack/ But now I've tasted chocolate, and I'm never going back!'']]
** Interestingly, apart from Penny's psychotic mother, no one seems to mind;
--->'''Motormouth Maybelle''': Oh, so this is love? Well, love is a gift, a lot of people don't remember that. So, you two better brace yourselves for a whole lotta ugly comin' at you from a neverending parade of stupid.\\
'''Penny''': [[DeadpanSnarker Oh, so you met my mom.]]
* [[TheSixties 1960s]] hippy musical ''{{Theatre/Hair}}'' invokes both the Black Man/White Woman and Black Woman/White Man version of this trope with the song "Black Boys/White Boys". The movie adaptation takes it farther, adding a HoYay component with the Army induction examiners.
* This makes an appearance in ''Theatre/TheMagicFlute'', where the Moor Monostatos (see above) is irresistibly attracted to Pamina, accompanied by a heapin' helpin' of {{Unfortunate|Implications}} ''[[ValuesDissonance text]]''.
--> Und ich soll die Liebe meiden,/weil ein Schwarzer hässlich ist!/[...] Eine Weisse nahm mich ein;/Weiss ist schön, ich muss sie küssen! \\
'''Translation:''' And I must do without love, because a black man is ugly./[...] A white lady has captivated me. White is beautiful; I must kiss her!
[[/folder]]

* ''Series/{{Weeds}}'' manages to use this one ''and'' MightyWhiteyAndMellowYellow with Dean and Celia Hodes - Dean cheats on Celia with an Asian woman, and Celia gets back at him by sleeping with Conrad and bragging to Dean that she slept with a black man. Conrad also has a relationship with Nancy before being PutOnABus.
* ''Series/MyNameIsEarl'': Joy was afraid of her father's reaction to her marrying Darnell, since he'd objected to her dating a black guy in high school. In reality, he had cheated on his wife with numerous black women, and knew that any black guy close to Joy's age had a slight chance of being her brother.
* Played with in ''{{Series/Community}}'' in the episode "Early 21st Century Romanticism" where DirtyOldMan (but very white) Leonerd uses the trope almost word for word:
-->'''Leonard''': "Where are all the white women at?"\\
'''Jeff''': No Leonard! There are no white women here!"
** Averted in season 4 with Troy and Britta. Although there has been a few subtle jokes about their race, the focus has been more on their actual personalities than race.

%%* ''Film/InglouriousBasterds'' has Shoshanna in a relationship with Marcel.
%%* An early example is the 1957 film ''Film/IslandInTheSun'', with Harry Belafonte and Joan Fontaine. [[spoiler:They don't end up together.]]

* ''Film/APatchOfBlue'' has a black teenage boy befriending and then falling in love with a blind white girl.
* ''Film/PainAndGain'': Adrian marries a fat white nurse[[spoiler:, who eventually divorced him]].
* ''Film/PulpFiction'':
** Marcellus & Mia Wallace appear to be happily married.
** Jimmy's wife, Bonnie (despite only being seen for a matter of seconds in an ImagineSpot) is black.

!! [[AC:Not enough context to judge]]

* ''Film/GetOut2017'' featured a horror-movie take on ''Film/GuessWhosComingToDinner''. As it turns out, the black boyfriend has ''every'' reason to be nervous about meeting his fiance's parents for the first time as [[spoiler: they use hypnotism and brain transplanting to enslave their victims. His fiancee is in on the whole thing. Chris even found a box filled with photos that are evidence she has managed to win over ''nine'' African-American hearts (one of them also female)]].

* ''Film/GetOut2017'' featured a horror-movie take on ''Film/GuessWhosComingToDinner''. As it turns out, the black boyfriend has ''every'' reason to be nervous about meeting his fiance's parents for the first time as [[spoiler: they use hypnotism and brain transplanting to enslave their victims. His fiancee is in on the whole thing. Chris even found a box filled with photos that are evidence she has managed to win over ''nine'' African-American hearts (one of them also female)]].
* ''Film/LiveAndLetDie'' The black villain Kanaga is enraged that Bond has seduced his mistress Solitaire, outright stating that ''he'' was to be the one to take her virginity. The racial difference adds some serious unfortunate implications to the typical "Bond rescues the DamselInDistress" situation.

* ''Series/DrQuinnMedicineWoman''. Most of the townspeople are completely convinced that the Native American men have this attitude:
** When a white woman is rescued after an Army raid on a Native American camp, people speculate that she was probably raped by them, then are disgusted when they learn that she willingly married one of them--"A decent white woman would have killed herself before she lay down with a redman".
** When Dr. Mike herself is kidnapped by renegade dog soldiers, there is the same speculation and this does in fact nearly happen several times before Sully manages to rescue her.
** White Dorothy strikes up a friendship with Native American Cloud Dancing when she decides to write a book about him, much to the disapproval of the townspeople (several of whom make very nasty comments insinuating that the relationship is sexual) and of his fellow tribesmen.
** There's also the brief, mild flirtation between Colleen and one of the Chinese railroad workers.
** The town's lone black male, Robert E., was surprisingly exempt from this, probably because he was HappilyMarried to the lone black female, Grace.
* Another Native American example in the MiniSeries ''[[https://youtu.be/OlAMrivolPk Children Of The Dust]]'', where the Native American boy taken in and raised by a white family falls in love with the daughter. Her father is ''not'' pleased, but not because of racism, as he loves the boy as if he was his own son, but because he knows that society (mid-1800's Middle America) will never accept it. Indeed, the series concludes with the young man's death, [[BittersweetEnding but not without leaving her pregnant]] with [[SomeoneToRememberHimBy their son]].
* And yet another when ''Series/WalkerTexasRanger'' reveals to an orphaned young man that his parents were murdered by racists because his mother was white while his father was Cherokee.

* ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' has touched this trope a few times, though the interracial aspect was never brought up.
** ''Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue'' has Green Ranger Joel constantly jockeying for the affections of Ms. Fairweather. It was either [[AllLoveIsUnrequited rebuffed or ignored]] until the season finale. By the crossover with ''Series/PowerRangersTimeForce'', the two are HappilyMarried.
** ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'' has Red Ranger Jack meeting and starting a relationship with a volunteer caregiver and store owner, which ultimately leads to him retiring from SPD in the season finale.
** In ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'', the BlackAndNerdy Blue Ranger, Ethan, falls for a girl at a sci-fi convention who reappears in the finale as his prom date. Before this, he had briefly dated snobby school reporter Cassidy.
** ''Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel'' inverts it with Calvin and Hayley, who have been together for at least a year before we meet them.

* [[spoiler: Grace and Warbucks]] in the ''Film/Annie2014''.

* In ''Film/NationalSecurity'', Creator/MartinLawrence's character Earl hits on a white woman not long after telling Hank that he does not approve of interracial relationships (Hank's ex is a black woman who left him after he supposedly assaulted Earl at the start of the film). When Hank calls him out on this, Earl clarifies that he only disapproves of relationships when the man is white.

* In ''Film/FarFromHeaven'', a lonely woman falls in love with her African-American gardener, sparking immense gossip when the two are seen together--her husband hypocritically blasts her for the scandal she's brought on their family, conveniently overlooking his repressed homosexuality (the movie is set in the 1950s, when ''both'' things would have been extremely controversial). The fling is over before it can even begin, thanks to both of them being aware of the disastrous ramifications.

* ''Literature/{{Holes}}''. The relationship between Sam, a black man, and Kate, a white woman, causes another man after Kate to kill Sam, [[spoiler:provoking Kate into becoming the notorious bandit Kissin' Kate Barlow]].
* John Updike's ''Brazil'' is about an affair between a rich white girl and poor black man who later run away together. Later they switch colours by mystic means (it's a long story). It does not end well.

* The Black drug dealer in ''Film/RequiemForADream'' talks Jennifer Connelly into paying for her drugs with sexual favors, and admits he has a thing for white women.
* ''Film/ReservoirDogs'': Mr. White mentions a previous relationship with a younger black girl.

* ''Series/TheOrville'': Inverted by Yaphit. He's a gelatinous lifeform...that's only attracted to black human women.

* [[spoiler: Grace and Warbucks]] in the ''Film/Annie2014''.

* ''{{Series/Oz}}''. Kareem Said's attraction to a white woman gets him ousted as leader of the Muslims. In an earlier episode he briefly encounters his former fiancé, who's also white -- a fact that caused a rift with his own sister, who accused Kareem of "trying to be something he's not." (i.e. white)

* Played with in ''Series/TheKidsInTheHall'' - Susan, a white girl (Dave Foley) brings her black boyfriend Tony (Scott Thompson) to meet her parents, warning him about their attitudes. His race isn't an issue to them at all, and in fact they like him immediately - but she reacts to every friendly conversational line of theirs as if it were an indictment against him.
-->'''Dad:''' Gosh, Tony. I've got to tell you... you're a pleasant change from the usual riff-raff Susan usually brings home.
-->'''Susan:''' (furiously) Dad! He's not armed!

* ''Series/StrongMedicine''. Following her divorce, Dr. Andy Campbell begins dating one of her colleagues, who is African-American. His mother is ''not'' pleased and it takes her son telling her off for her attitude to improve.
* ''Series/TheWestWing'' plays hardball with this trope, with the relationship between Charlie, the president's aide, and Zoey, the president's daughter, but puts a twist on it. President Bartlett is genuinely unhappy that his daughter is dating a black man, but not because he dislikes the idea itself. He just knows full well that there will be plenty of others in the country who will absolutely hate the idea, and he's worried about the couple's safety. He's completely right. The relationship gets two people shot by white supremacists.

* ''Series/{{Insecure}}'' has a case of white women having a fetish for black men. Lawrence ends up having a three-way with two white women he met in a store parking lot. They're disappointed when he can't go another round, and say that the other black guy could go all night.

* Nina Crowley from ''Webcomic/TreadingGround'' In the "Racial Draft" sketch on ''Series/ChappellesShow'', after Tiger Woods -- who is a quarter black, a quarter white, and half Asian (specifically a quarter Thai and a quarter Chinese) -- has been drafted by the black delegation and is now officially 100% black, the commentator played by Dave says the following:

* Played for Drama in ''Series/HellOnWheels''. For striking up a relationship with Eva, a white prostitute, Elam is nearly hanged in the highly racist 1860s.
* In the "Racial Draft" sketch on ''Series/ChappellesShow'', after Tiger Woods -- who is a quarter black, a quarter white, and half Asian (specifically a quarter Thai and a quarter Chinese) -- has been drafted by the black delegation and is now officially 100% black, the commentator played by Dave says the following:

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': Peter worries that Jerome will steal Lois from him in "Jerome is the New Black", as they used to date. Jerome says he would never do such a thing but admits that he did have lots of sex with Meg. Peter is not concerned about that.
* The ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfCalamityJane'' episode "The Way of the Buffalo" revolves around a flirtatious relationship between a white housewife and a black soldier. The woman has an [[DomesticAbuse abusive husband]] who's racist towards the soldier.

** Chris' talking pimple forces him to rub grease on himself to make more pimples. One of them says "Where the white heads at?"
** In "Brian the Bachelor", Cleveland goes on the prowl at a local bar. He asks a potential mate "Hey baby, how'd you like to go black and then make the difficult decision on whether to go back? " she replies "I already went Burnt Sienna and never went back." The Burnt Sienna crayon she is dating starts to threaten Cleveland.

* ''Film/BlazingSaddles'' is the {{Trope Namer|s}}, with the name taken from a line dropped in a shenanigan Sheriff Bart and the Waco Kid [[IShallTauntYou pull to get the attention]] of a kouple of Klan members. Bart has a fling with burlesque performer Lili von Shtupp--and judging by her dialogue when the lights are out, her attraction is at least partly due to his race.

He's rather disappointed when she wishes for a pack of never-ending Tim-Tams instead.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Comic Books]]
* Played with in ''Comicbook/QuantumAndWoody'', with Eric's (who's black) [[HopelessSuitor longtime unrequited love]] for Amy Fishbein. His best friend Woody repeatedly warns him that her white suburban Jewish family would ''strongly'' oppose such a relationship.
* In ''ComicStrip/TheBoondocks'', there's an interracial married couple, Tom and Sarah [=DuBois=], who struggle with this issue. Also see the Western Animation example below.
* {{Averted|Trope}} in ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'' with a dash of UnfortunateImplications; writer Matt Wayne tried to introduce a black love interest for Betty so that she could also have her own love triangle. Since he was portrayed as TheAce, the editor vetoed it and had him changed to be a white character. In another instance, writers got to vote on a new love interest for Cheryl Blossom. The black character won out, but when the "results comic" was finally released, the character had ''[[ButNotTooBlack much paler skin]]'' than he was originally designed with.
* Played with in ''Comicbook/ThePulse'', when a black nurse gives the white ComicBook/JessicaJones crap about having a black boyfriend. ComicBook/{{Luke Cage|HeroForHire}} later gets this from the new Power Man.
* Heavily downplayed in ''ComicBook/{{WITCH}}'': Cornelia may be in a relationship with a black guy, but the only one who ever gave her flak for this is her grandmother.
[[/folder]]

* ''Film/RememberTheTitans'': When segregation is lifted and the black students arrive at a previously all-white high school, one of the black male characters eyes his new white female classmates and comments that "They sure do have pretty women around here."
* A deleted scene in ''Film/AmericanHistoryX'' features an interracial couple being harassed by two of the bad guys (a Neo-Nazi figurehead and one of his dimwitted supporters). The black guy manages to keep his cool and delivers insults that actually sting the villains.
* The 1967 film ''Film/GuessWhosComingToDinner'' starring Creator/KatharineHepburn and Creator/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. All anti-interracial marriage laws were deemed unconstitutional ''only six months to the day'' that this movie came out. 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, plus they've only met several weeks earlier. The writers intentionally made Poitier's character as perfect as possible so that there would be no reason for anyone to object to the marriage other than the racial difference, as well as the other two mentioned.
** The 2005 remake Film/GuessWho gender- and race-flipped this, being about an African-American woman who brings her white fiance to meet her parents.
* Another Poitier film, ''Film/APatchOfBlue'', has his character befriending and then falling in love with a blind white teenager.
* Yet ''another'' of Poitier's movies, ''Film/ToSirWithLove'', has a biracial student who hates his black father for marrying his white mother, as he considers it the worst thing he could have done to her (The town is shown to be pretty racist, to the point where the class of white students Poitier's character teaches don't want to personally enter the house [[spoiler:to deliver a memorial wreath when the mother dies]], since a white person going into a black man's house would create immense gossip.). Poitier himself seems to have feelings for a fellow (white) teacher, but the racial aspect of their relationship is downplayed (an inversion of RelationshipUpgrade, as in RealLife, they soon began dating and eventually married). Subverted with Pamela Dare's attempt to win his affections, as he has no romantic feelings for her, but instead cares for her as a friend and student.
* Creator/SpikeLee
** The main couple in ''Film/JungleFever'', a black man and a white woman, face discrimination and resentment from almost everyone, especially family members. UnfortunateImplications also come into play, since the man was already married and cheated on his wife.
** Also covered extensively in ''Film/MalcolmX''. Malcolm is required to give up white women as a stipulation of his religion; before his conversion, he'd dated several.
* One of the better chick flicks ''Film/SaveTheLastDance'' is about a young white girl moving to the inner city and falling in love with a black youth with a bright future. A black female character criticizes her for this and says she hates how white girls always snatch up the good black men, leaving black girls with the black men that are criminals and gang members.
* ''Film/DanceFlick'' parodies ''Save The Lance Dance'', including the interracial romance subplot. But, it's also {{deconstructed|Trope}} and the movie declares this a DiscreditedTrope. The female lead, Megan [[MeaningfulName White]], at one point believes her black boyfriend, Thomas, is cheating on her. Thomas's stereotypically-ghetto sister says that she isn't surprised, because white women are out of style with Black men these days and other ethnicities such as Hispanic, Asian, and Arabian women, have appeared as competition.
* Creator/QuentinTarantino is probably one of the only mainstream filmmakers that frequently feature interracial couples. Sometimes it's a DiscussedTrope, but often it's just there without any attention being drawn to it. For examples of this particular trope:
** ''Film/ReservoirDogs'': Mr. White mentions a previous relationship with a younger black girl.
** ''Film/PulpFiction'':
*** Marcellus & Mia Wallace appear to be happily married.
*** Jimmy's wife, Bonnie (despite only being seen for a matter of seconds in an ImagineSpot) is black.
** ''Film/JackieBrown'':
*** [[Creator/SamuelLJackson Ordell]] and Melanie. Ordell even [[LampshadeHanging admits]] that this is her main appeal, despite being a pain in the ass.
*** Jackie Brown herself and Max also express romantic interest in each other (though nothing ''[[UnresolvedSexualTension actually]]'' happens).
** ''Film/InglouriousBasterds'' has Shoshanna in a relationship with Marcel.
* Trent in ''Film/ShockCorridor'', the self-proclaimed [[BoomerangBigot black Klansman]], mentions this twice in his hate speeches.
* This is played for laughs in ''Film/UndercoverBrother''. Sistah Girl informs the team that the Undercover Brother has slept with Penelope Snow, [[spoiler:AKA White She-Devil, aka Black Man's Kryptonite]]. Conspiracy Brother asks "Was it everything I dreamed of?" and "She had pink nipples, didn't she?" and DaChief asks "Carpet match the drapes?" However, having sex with him eventually turns her [[SexFaceTurn over to their side]], since she rather enjoyed the encounter. Lance (the only white guy there) was doing it, too.
* The Black drug dealer in ''Film/RequiemForADream'' talks Jennifer Connelly into paying for her drugs with sexual favors, and admits he has a thing for white women. Then again, it ''is'' Creator/JenniferConnelly.
* In ''Film/WhiteChicks'', the main characters are black men [[DisguisedInDrag disguised as white chicks]], and one of them is [[AttractiveBentGender romantically pursued]] by another black man. When he finds out the truth, he rants about how he was deceived into dating someone who isn't white, apparently not even caring that he was attracted to another man.
** Unrelated, but one of the characters actually yells, "Where da white women at?" at one point in the film.
** Terry Crews's character is actually attracted to one of them because, as he described "her", it's a "white woman with a black woman's ass".
* ''Film/{{Hancock}}'': [[spoiler: Hancock and Mary have been together for centuries in a mixed marriage. In fact, Hancock's amnesia is a result of being assaulted by bigots because [[MalignedMixedMarriage he was with a white woman]] in pre-UsefulNotes/{{Civil Rights|Movement}} era Florida. Mary notes an even earlier 1800's incident that involved their home being torched, likely for the same reason]].
* ''Film/{{O}}'', the 2001 SettingUpdate of Creator/WilliamShakespeare's ''{{Theatre/Othello}}'', stars Mekhi Pfifer and Creator/JuliaStiles who was also in ''Film/SaveTheLastDance''. The fact that he ends up raping her would probably push it into UnfortunateImplications territory if it wasn't true to the original Shakespeare and for reasons mostly unrelated to race.
* While not the UrExample, one of the earliest {{trope codifier}}s for films of this trope is ''Film/{{The Birth of a Nation|1915}}'' (aka ''The Clansman''), a 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]]. The controversy and influence are due to two different things: the controversy due to the extremely vile racism and the influence due to the style of the movie, which set a few trends in motion.
* ''Literature/TheBlindSide'': A drug dealer makes sexual comments suggesting he thinks this way about Leigh Anne and Collins, [[spoiler:setting off Michael's BerserkButton]]. Also, Leigh Anne's [[RichBitch snobbish]] salad luncheon friends warn Leigh Anne of this.
* A subplot in the ''[[Film/TheBlairWitchProject Blair Witch]]''-style film ''Film/AlienAbductionIncidentInLakeCounty'': a family gets together for Thanksgiving, and [[{{Determinator}} Kurt]] freaks out when his sister brings home her black boyfriend for dinner. Then they all get abducted by aliens.
* Exaggerated in the romantic comedy ''Film/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. It doesn't help that the black women in his subplot (his mother and ex) are both racist, ball-busting harpies. The white girl comes across as ironically sensible; she defends herself against his ex, and calls Bellamy out on his bullshit when he chides her for being "no different" after the two ladies fight.
* In ''Film/DontBeAMenaceToSouthCentralWhileDrinkingYourJuiceInTheHood'', one of the characters appears to be making a play at an attractive black woman, who seems receptive to his advances. However it turns out he's actually talking to a white woman behind her, who is... rather unattractive. He defends himself to his friend by implying that it's revenge on white people for centuries of slavery and injustice.
** And then, during the climax of the film, various characters are dodging bullets during a drive-by shooting and one of the protagonists notices that a black woman is directly in the line of fire. He jumps, apparently in an effort to save her - but then we see that he actually jumped to save a blonde white woman who showed up out of nowhere for no other reason than RuleOfFunny. He shoves the white girl to the ground, saving her from being shot, after which she gratefully calls him her "chocolate warrior."
* The infamous 1975 {{Blaxploitation}} movie ''Mandingo'', which is about a horny slaveowner's wife (named Blanche, FFS) seducing a ScaryBlackMan on the plantation. It ends with a black baby being born and the white owner murdering both his wife and his slave in revenge.
* Forrest Whitaker in ''Film/TheCryingGame'' with Miranda Richardson's character Jude. Then there's his erstwhile lover Dil, who's more...[[AmbiguouslyBrown unclear]] (she was portrayed by the biracial Jaye Davidson), but in her case, the color of her skin is [[AllThereIsToKnowAboutTheCryingGame only the tip of the iceberg.]]
* The horror film ''Film/{{Candyman}}'' has the titular villain's origin be that he was murdered by a ruthless mob for his sleeping with a wealthy white man's daughter.
* Mitch Mullany's "The Breaks" includes a scene reminiscent of ''Film/ImGonnaGitYouSucka'' when the main character, Derrick, attends a spoken word performance. After a dreadlocked black man recites an angry Afrocentric poem, the hostess says, "Thank you very much, Stokely Ungawa, and your lovely wife, Betsy..." at which point the camera cuts to the same poet, embracing a very [[WhiteAngloSaxonProtestant WASPy]]-looking blonde.
* The 1968 British-French film ''The Girl on a Motorcycle'' (AKA ''[[VaporWear Naked]] [[HellBentForLeather Under Leather]]''). At the French/German border a smiling black customs officer makes a point of taking the title character aside and patting her down in an intimate fashion. When she has to go through the same customs station later on in the movie she comments, "That black man had better not try touching me up again" [[HypocriticalHumor only to be disappointed]] when she sees the customs officer is an elderly white guy.
* An early example is Harry Belafonte and Joan Fontaine in the 1957 film ''Island in the Sun''. [[spoiler: Unsurprising for the time, they don't end up together]]
* Deliberately averted in ''Film/{{Hitch}}.'' Originally, Creator/CameronDiaz was supposed to play Hitch's love interest. However, when Creator/WillSmith got the role, they decided that this trope might come out to play. However, they also didn't want to cast a black actress for fear that the movie would be interpreted as saying that romantic pairings need to be intra-ethnic or that people would assume that it was a black movie. They finally decided on Cuban-American Creator/EvaMendes (who has been cast because of this racial gray-area more than once.)
* ''Film/{{Flight}}'', with Creator/DenzelWashington and Kelly Reilly.
* ''Film/PainAndGain'': Adrian marries a fat white nurse[[spoiler:, who eventually divorced him]].
* In ''Film/ScaryMovie'', Cindy tries to gain safety from a serial killer by [[GenreSavvy having people come over to her house that evening]]. This causes her black friend Shorty to shout out to the entire school cafeteria:
--> "Party at Cindy's house! Drunk white women for everybody!"
* Purposefully averted in ''[[Film/TheDeal2008 The Deal]]'', where the studio vetoes love scenes between the characters played by Fiona and Bobby because it still makes some people in the audience uncomfortable.

* Inverted with the 2004 TV movie ''Reversible Errors'' a character (who's white) explains why his nephew is clearly mixed race of partial black ancestry by saying his sister "had a taste for dark meat".

* John Updike's ''Brazil'' is about an affair between a rich white girl and poor black man who later run away together. Later they switch colors by mystic means (it's a long story). It does not end well.

-->'''Commentator:''' He's been discriminated against in his time, he's had death threats, ''and'' he dates a white woman. Sounds like a black guy to me.
* On ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'' when Will and Carlton's prep school goes co-ed, it's implied that Will is excited because of the potential of dating white women:
-->'''Will''': It's gon' be cute girls everywhere. Cute rich girls, that know the one thing they parents can't stand is for them to be dating a BIG black dude.
* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': Salladhor demands Cersei as prize for helping attack King's Landing — not to rape her, he says, but to seduce her; ''specifically'' citing her blondeness.
--> '''Salladhor:''' Cersei, I want her. I'll sail with your fleet, all thirty of my ships, and if we don't drown at the bottom of Blackwater Bay, I will fuck this blonde queen and I will fuck her well.

* ''Literature/{{Holes}}'': White schoolteacher Catherine Barlow kisses a black handyman named Sam. Unfortunately, [[DeliberateValuesDissonance since this is the 19th century]], this provokes a major backlash against the two of them, led by Catherine's jealous would-be suitor Trout Walker. The local sheriff refuses to help because it's illegal for a black man to kiss a white woman, and Sam ends up killed by an angry mob before the two can escape. This whole tragedy ends up [[spoiler:provoking Kate into becoming the notorious bandit Kissin' Kate Barlow]].

* Played for Drama in ''Series/HellOnWheels''. For striking up a relationship with Eva, a white prostitute, Elam is nearly hanged in [[DeliberateValuesDissonance the highly racist 1860s]].
* ''Series/TheWestWing'' plays hardball with this trope, with the relationship between Charlie, the president's aide, and Zoey, the president's daughter, but puts a twist on it. President Bartlett is genuinely unhappy that his daughter is dating a black man, but not because he dislikes the idea itself. He just knows full well that there will be plenty of others in the country who will absolutely hate the idea, and he's worried about the couple's safety. He's completely right. The relationship gets two people shot by white supremacists.

* Malory on ''{{WesternAnimation/Archer}}'' loves black men. Such as when she pulls strings to get [[TwoferTokenMinority Conway Stern]] into ISIS ("He just appeared... like a foundling, carved out of onyx") and routs any attempt to get a background check pulled on him, or when she gets a chance to "fact check" a Hollywood script and [[HerCodeNameWasMarySue writes herself in]] as a sexy fifty-something in love with a handsome black agent.
