		<description>If you're thinking about the impact this has on Hollywood, you really need to get your priorities in order. Interracial relationships are a real thing, and most of the current population wouldnt be here. And, this may be a shock to you but there may have been somone in your family history who had "jungle fever" and you may not have been here. The religion and race (and very cliche, may I add) comedy and love story is as old as it gets.  YOu mentioned Shakespere (I suppose youre a fan, well even he wrote about an african lady he supposedly had an affair with ("Th Dark Lady"). I hate to break it to you (actually I dont), but these comedies probably wont die out, youre better off ignoring the movies or getting use to it.</description>

		<description>You're disgusting and people like you make my life that much harder. I don't understand what this has to do with screen writers, perhaps this is a sorry excuse for those who can no longer think of anything else to write about. Get a life loser</description>

		<description>sorry you feel its wrong on the other hand I'm not. I'm in an interracial relationship and its not meant to be funny or made into some kind of movie. You love who you love and maybe you have never been in love so you won't understand. the movies in today's society is out because movies one way or another have to reflect off of real life or no one will make money. Our world is a melting pot and alot of people today are mixed with something and its just who we are.</description>

		<description>Good Lord, Neil, I can't believe it took me 12 days to catch up with this post, so apologies -- I was in NYC for a bit and missed a chunk of daily blog-trolling.  All I can say (now that the comment party is long over) is I'm all for feet and naked asians and black people (naked white folks and feet fine by me too) but even if we have to employ aliens and robots as the Capulets and Montagues, NOTHING will ever put the rom-com genre out of commission, so long as there's such a thing has having sex.</description>

		<description>Actually, being a product of a black father and a white mother, there are times I get shocked at interracial relationships. Usually it's with a black woman and a white guy (because that's rare, but okay with me). I guess I've never really dated a black girl before, not a lot african americans live in my neighborhood or attend the schools I do. You know, there was this joke with some friends of mine, really attractive black girls are like finding a needle in a haystack (well you have halle berry, but how many of her is going around - whose not a celebrity?). As far as romantic comedy goes, I've noticed the change. I also noticed that by 2010, the US will be the all-time, most diverse country in the world. I think it's pretty diverse as it is. We just have to increase education in more than one language, other than spanish. I think romantic comedies will lose that initial shock that we'd see in that movie "Something New." Already, cultures are intergrating different customs. For instance, being black, I suppose I should listen to Rap and R&#38;B like a non-hispanic or black would listen to Led Zepplin or Sara Evans. But, with my case, I prefer Sara Evans, Keith Urban, Breaking Benjamin, and Pink Floyd. These are strange times Neil...if you don't mind me saying so. Well, that's my two sense. Feel obligated to check out my blog! ha no pressure.</description>
