WTTF…a modern day Guess Who is Coming To Dinner?
I have seen several previews on TV for NBC’s new comedy Welcome To The Family. I wasn’t too interested until I saw a commercial yesterday that talked about interracial families. The two teenagers in the show were talking about the growing number of multiracial families in America and how they will be one too. I have NOT been able to find the clip anywhere online…but when I do, I will be sure to post it. Now as I look into the storyline more… I see that it is more than a teenage pregnancy story. It is a story of the Yoder and Hernandez families being joined by their teenagers falling in love. A classic Romeo and Juliet plot with a splash of racial and cultural differences. Though it is nice to see the presence of multiracial families on TV, I am not surprised that it again will be under an unwelcomed relationship, and child. We will have to stay tuned to see how the story unfolds…
