First interracial couple on Disney?


I like this show; it has potential!

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.

Right! I saw that and thought it was great... they're like 40ish years overdue on this but, congrats anyway
Now another 40ish years for their first gay character! Woot!

yeah, probably the first interracial couple in a disney series, although in the "twitches" movies, the main characters' parents were an interracial couple.

i've been pleased to see (presumably) gay characters on the disney channel as well. pleased because their (perceived) homosexuality had nothing to do with the story and they were presented as just, well, people. a couple of the characters i can think of off-hand were antonio, the talented singer/dancer in that "suite life" episode where the kids were in a 'high school musical'; the drama instructor on lizzie mcguire; and the stylist on hannah montana—come to think of it, he was pretty flamboyant, but still, they didn't make a big deal out of it.

Hmm, interesting. I never thought about those characters sexuality. Then again, like you said them being represented as actual people is awesome enough! Are there any other male and female characters that were so called "perceived" of being homosexual? I can't think of any others.

They are White and Black...So what? So am I, no big deal and not really a good reason to watch.

Ha! That would be awesome! And your right, since it is Disney it unfortunately will probably take another 40 years! But if it does happen, will it be male or female?

Well, they had Taylor's moms, Susan and Cheryl, in Good Luck Charlie.

But unfortunately they were only in one episode. I'm still waiting for a main character.

I don't know. Honestly, I think gay characters will start appearing in kid shows much much sooner than that.

Actually the husband & wife on Wizards of Waverly Place ,Jerry & Theresa Russo, are interracial.

I wish I had a Kryptonite cross, because then I could keep Dracula & Superman away.

He was White and she was Hispanic. White and Brown fits into this category.

from what I've seen on the show they don't really come off as a married couple.but i think it has more to do with the actors chemistry together.

"Italian and Mexican aren't races"

If people whose DNA originates in Africa are a 'race', then people whose DNA originates in Italy or Mexico are also a 'race.' However, in reality, every human being on the planet is the exact same race. We just all have different nations of origin.

Just some food for thought,
Peace, Y'all!

The real irony is Angel Parker (Tasha Davenport) is married to a White guy in real life and they have two children... Well, three since it is obvious she is pregnant in the latter episodes of S1, but they did a lousy job of hiding it.

reply

While this is great, I just feel the chemistry between them on the show. They act like they're a married couple, just more like friends or something. That's how it seems to me. I don't know.

Suite life of Zack and Cody had an interracial couple as did Suite Life on Deck!

London dated white guys.
Barbara and Cody dated and she later dated Bob.
Moseby and Emma dated

In the Disney movie, "Don't Look Under the Bed," the two main characters who were black and white kinda had a thing going by the end of the movie and I think movie was made in like the early 2000s
