Thanks for the great responses so far. A few of you have asked for more inform ation on my project. I am working on a paper for a graduate seminar in a course on interracial intimacies. I am attempting to determine whether films such as the BODYGUARD, GHOST, PULP FICTION etc. don't mention the interracial component of the relationship because it is "just like any other relationship" or if the relationship is simply reinforcing the age old steretypes. Are we becoming culturally more accepting of interracial relationships or just hiding the racism better? I don't even attempt to say I have an answer to that question. I am still in the beginning stages of my research so all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Amy M. Dean [log in to unmask] University of Alabama
