The 3 sons & older daughter are all biracial. the only one who isn't is Marsai (the younger girl).

i seen quite a few tweets of confused people stating Blackish was basically Mixedish already.

I don't see the purpose of adding the "ish" on the end of Mixed.

This. It kinda points out that mixed actors have already taken black actors place so.....

Look at most black family sitcoms, kids are often mixed :mjpls:

I watched the first two episodes, and they don’t do race humor the way Blackish does. It’s mostly serious stuff about race with no jokes.

:ld:

There are a few funny moments, but maybe it’s a show that mixed people relate to, and that’s the purpose.

:yeshrug:

Some great one liners though
“We start at white 9 o’clock.”

Funny now, but not so funny in 1985 when black people were just starting to enter office workplaces.

the show is set in 1985/86 ...

first episode didnt move me... didnt watch the second yet...

I think they casted kids that look realistic for being quadroons. That’s how you know black people were involved in casting, even if just consulting.

Anthony Anderson doesn’t look like this:

So the kids on the show look like they could really be his kids with a biracial woman.

They could have chosen kids like this:

Not watching. I become resentful that every other race can see two of their kind represented but there always necessarily seems to have to be a white partner in our media.

shyt is wack. Every damn Disney princess darker than a paper bag was linked to a white partner.
