Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:03,031 --> 00:00:04,935
When biracial people date,
2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,173
it's always seen by the world
around them
3
00:00:07,206 --> 00:00:09,686
as a statement, a political act.
4
00:00:09,742 --> 00:00:13,479
Somehow, it's never just
one person like-liking another.
5
00:00:13,511 --> 00:00:15,280
Don't believe me?
6
00:00:15,313 --> 00:00:17,516
Imagine Barack and Michelle.
7
00:00:17,550 --> 00:00:20,620
Now imagine if Michelle was white.
8
00:00:20,653 --> 00:00:22,021
How would America have felt?
9
00:00:22,054 --> 00:00:24,023
How would Black America have felt?
10
00:00:24,056 --> 00:00:26,559
How would Black Twitter have felt?
11
00:00:26,592 --> 00:00:28,695
Would he still have won the election?
12
00:00:28,728 --> 00:00:30,196
The fact of the matter is,
13
00:00:30,228 --> 00:00:32,632
regardless of why
you fall in love with someone,
14
00:00:32,665 --> 00:00:35,134
when you're biracial,
it's often more complicated
15
00:00:35,166 --> 00:00:37,135
and scrutinized than if you weren't.
16
00:00:37,168 --> 00:00:39,037
But, of course, as a 12-year-old,
17
00:00:39,071 --> 00:00:40,205
I knew none of this.
18
00:00:40,239 --> 00:00:41,574
Rainbow!
19
00:00:41,607 --> 00:00:42,976
Did you hear about Sadie Hawkins?
20
00:00:43,009 --> 00:00:44,244
No, who's that?
21
00:00:44,276 --> 00:00:45,344
Is she sick?
22
00:00:45,378 --> 00:00:46,746
Sadie Hawkins is a dance
23
00:00:46,778 --> 00:00:48,815
where the girls get to ask the boys.
24
00:00:48,848 --> 00:00:51,417
Wow. I've never been to a real dance.
25
00:00:51,449 --> 00:00:53,685
I mean, on the commune,
we had movement gatherings,
26
00:00:53,718 --> 00:00:55,921
but that was just to shake the bugs off.
27
00:00:55,955 --> 00:00:59,726
My first dance, and I was
in the driver's seat,
28
00:00:59,759 --> 00:01:01,527
which was thrilling.
29
00:01:05,530 --> 00:01:08,100
Except for the fact that I had
no idea how to drive.

The best thing is,
51
00:01:51,676 --> 00:01:54,479
I can send Alicia legal briefs
day or night.
52
00:01:54,512 --> 00:01:56,081
Thank you, Harrison.
53
00:01:56,114 --> 00:01:57,649
When you said you had a gift,
I didn't know
54
00:01:57,682 --> 00:01:59,485
it would be so... work-related.
55
00:02:00,819 --> 00:02:03,056
Hey, there they are! How was school?
56
00:02:03,089 --> 00:02:04,090
Pretty good.
57
00:02:04,122 --> 00:02:05,590
Sadie Hawkins is this Friday.
58
00:02:05,623 --> 00:02:07,726
And I know what you're thinking.
59
00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:09,128
It's not a sick girl.
60
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,096
It's a dance where girls ask boys.
61
00:02:11,130 --> 00:02:13,232
I figured out a surefire way
to get asked.
62
00:02:13,265 --> 00:02:15,434
I'm gonna whistle casually in a place
63
00:02:15,468 --> 00:02:17,236
where lots of girls hang out...
64
00:02:17,268 --> 00:02:18,303
the girls' bathroom.
65
00:02:18,337 --> 00:02:19,339
- No.
- Uh, no, son,
66
00:02:19,372 --> 00:02:21,307
I don't think that's a good idea
67
00:02:21,339 --> 00:02:22,774
- or a legal one.
- Right.
68
00:02:22,808 --> 00:02:25,411
It's not fair they
don't let kindergartners go.
69
00:02:25,444 --> 00:02:26,646
Hey, how about this, kiddo?
70
00:02:26,678 --> 00:02:28,747
You and I go on a fancy date
71
00:02:28,780 --> 00:02:30,248
the night of that dance.
72
00:02:30,281 --> 00:02:31,818
Really?!
73
00:02:31,850 --> 00:02:33,518
I have to check my calendar.
74
00:02:33,552 --> 00:02:35,922
I can't believe
this is your first dance.
75
00:02:35,955 --> 00:02:37,824
And I can pick any boy I want.
76
00:02:37,856 --> 00:02:40,283
As long as they haven't been asked.
77
00:02:40,326 --> 00:02:42,862
And don't hold out for somebody better.
78
00:02:42,894 --> 00:02:44,696
Oh. And don't say no.
79
00:02:44,730 --> 00:02:46,631
Wait, they can say no?
80
00:02:46,665 --> 00:02:48,101
I mean, to you.
81
00:02:49,834 --> 00:02:52,037
What? She's frumpy!
82
00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:54,439
It was news to me
that the boys could say no.
83
00:02:54,473 --> 00:02:57,476
So, that night,
in true middle school fashion,
84
00:02:57,510 --> 00:03:00,146
I got dating advice from
someone who knew even less.
85
00:03:00,178 --> 00:03:02,181
I'm definitely asking down.
86
00:03:02,213 --> 00:03:04,149
I don't know Down. Is he nice?
87
00:03:04,183 --> 00:03:06,486
No, that's when you ask
someone in a younger grade.
88
00:03:06,518 --> 00:03:08,688
Because you're older,
you're automatically cooler.
89
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,355
It's so rad you know this stuff.
90
00:03:10,388 --> 00:03:12,225
I have an older cousin
who's been pregnant.
91
00:03:12,257 --> 00:03:14,159
Who are you going to ask?
92
00:03:14,193 --> 00:03:16,362
I had no idea.
93
00:03:16,394 --> 00:03:18,331
But my family had some thoughts.
94
00:03:18,363 --> 00:03:20,399
It better be a black boy.
95
00:03:20,433 --> 00:03:22,035
Lock in her type early.
96
00:03:22,068 --> 00:03:24,202
Come on! It's just a dance.
97
00:03:24,236 --> 00:03:27,140
That girl already has
enough cream in her coffee.
98
00:03:27,172 --> 00:03:29,374
If she continues down the same path
99
00:03:29,408 --> 00:03:32,178
as her Pat Boone super-fan mother,
100
00:03:32,211 --> 00:03:34,012
she'll be turning her back
on her black side
101
00:03:34,046 --> 00:03:36,482
and will wind up with
pretty much full-white kids.
102
00:03:36,515 --> 00:03:38,551
And that's bad because...?
103
00:03:38,583 --> 00:03:39,918
Because when I'm with them,
104
00:03:39,951 --> 00:03:41,653
people are gonna think I'm the maid.
105
00:03:41,687 --> 00:03:43,523
Well, I hope she ends up
with anybody but a white guy.
106
00:03:43,556 --> 00:03:44,523
We're awful.
107
00:03:44,557 --> 00:03:46,225
Babe, you're not awful.
108
00:03:46,257 --> 00:03:48,060
Yeah, but I'm the exception to the rule.
109
00:03:48,094 --> 00:03:49,995
- I played handball with Dr. King.
- Mm.
110
00:03:50,029 --> 00:03:51,330
White lightning doesn't strike twice.
111
00:03:51,362 --> 00:03:53,932
Well, I think she should
wind up with a white guy.
112
00:03:53,965 --> 00:03:56,569
It might not be fair, but
the world revolves around us.
113
00:03:56,601 --> 00:03:58,325
We get better jobs, salaries.
114
00:04:00,206 --> 00:04:02,637
You really are
the exception to the rule.
115
00:04:02,676 --> 00:04:04,209
Why are we even talking about this?
116
00:04:04,243 --> 00:04:06,045
- She's 12.
- Right.
117
00:04:06,077 --> 00:04:07,914
We've raised Rainbow not to see color,
118
00:04:07,946 --> 00:04:09,848
and we will continue to do so.
119
00:04:09,881 --> 00:04:11,183
Funny coming from a man
120
00:04:11,217 --> 00:04:13,052
who can't shut up about his black wife.
121
00:04:13,084 --> 00:04:15,053
What are you talking about?
122
00:04:15,087 --> 00:04:17,023
Rainbow forgot her bag today.
123
00:04:17,055 --> 00:04:18,056
I'm her dad.
124
00:04:18,090 --> 00:04:19,392
You might have met my wife, Alicia.
125
00:04:19,425 --> 00:04:20,626
She's black.
126
00:04:20,658 --> 00:04:23,396
I'll have... the roasted vegetables,
127
00:04:23,429 --> 00:04:24,931
and my wife, the black woman over there,
128
00:04:24,963 --> 00:04:26,199
she's not having anything.
129
00:04:26,232 --> 00:04:27,967
Sorry, no one by that name lives here.
130
00:04:27,999 --> 00:04:29,302
Just me and my black wife, Alicia.
131
00:04:29,335 --> 00:04:30,303
Who's black.
132
00:04:30,336 --> 00:04:32,737
Fine. So what if I think it's cool?
133
00:04:32,771 --> 00:04:33,739
Mwah.
134
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:38,643
When we were on the commune,
race didn't exist.
135
00:04:38,677 --> 00:04:40,112
But in the real world,
136
00:04:40,146 --> 00:04:42,314
my dad's enthusiasm
about having a black wife
137
00:04:42,348 --> 00:04:44,050
was starting to feel weird.
138
00:04:44,083 --> 00:04:45,251
Because it was weird.
139
00:04:45,283 --> 00:04:47,586
What about Jason? He's funny.
140
00:04:47,619 --> 00:04:49,888
Jason's a grownup who works
at the front office.
141
00:04:49,922 --> 00:04:50,890
Really?
142
00:04:50,922 --> 00:04:52,090
He's so small.
143
00:04:52,124 --> 00:04:53,653
Yeah, he goes to the doctor a lot.
144
00:04:54,626 --> 00:04:56,662
What about him?
145
00:04:58,530 --> 00:05:00,732
Bryce Olsen.
146
00:05:00,766 --> 00:05:03,069
Soccer star and total babe.
147
00:05:03,102 --> 00:05:05,071
He once threw a paper ball
into the waste basket
148
00:05:05,103 --> 00:05:06,404
from all the way across the room
149
00:05:06,437 --> 00:05:08,140
and thought no one saw.
150
00:05:08,174 --> 00:05:09,342
But I saw.
151
00:05:09,374 --> 00:05:11,910
And I'd been crushing ever since.
152
00:05:11,944 --> 00:05:13,845
There's no way he'd say yes.
153
00:05:13,879 --> 00:05:15,414
He's Bryce.
154
00:05:15,446 --> 00:05:18,150
I mean, look at how confident
he is talking to adults.
155
00:05:18,184 --> 00:05:19,852
It might be under my mom's name, Nancy?
156
00:05:19,884 --> 00:05:21,119
Oh. Let's see.
157
00:05:21,153 --> 00:05:22,855
You talk to Mr. Jason all the time.
158
00:05:22,888 --> 00:05:24,958
That was when I thought he was a kid!
159
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,162
- Did he just wave at me?
- Yeah!
160
00:05:30,196 --> 00:05:32,331
And it was one of those cool
three-finger waves, too.
161
00:05:32,364 --> 00:05:33,933
Oh, my God!
162
00:05:33,965 --> 00:05:36,201
But how would I even
ask someone like that?
163
00:05:36,235 --> 00:05:39,138
Okay. He likes soccer,
so here's what we do.
164
00:05:39,170 --> 00:05:40,338
Tomorrow, I'll get you a soccer ball
165
00:05:40,372 --> 00:05:42,040
with a note written on it.
166
00:05:42,074 --> 00:05:43,977
And right when he comes into class...
167
00:05:46,412 --> 00:05:48,381
My nose!
168
00:05:48,413 --> 00:05:50,515
First idea is always a throwaway.
169
00:05:50,549 --> 00:05:51,951
Oh. What about this?
170
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,390
If you really like me, you won't miss.
171
00:05:57,422 --> 00:05:59,624
Yeah, that seems really dangerous.
172
00:05:59,658 --> 00:06:00,893
Oh! What about...
173
00:06:00,925 --> 00:06:03,228
Absolutely not.
174
00:06:03,261 --> 00:06:06,699
Okay, what if you just call him
on the phone and ask him?
175
00:06:06,732 --> 00:06:07,999
I think that's the one!
176
00:06:09,602 --> 00:06:12,872
Oh, "Foxy Brown"
is on Channel 11 tonight.
177
00:06:12,905 --> 00:06:15,006
I know we've both been
dying to see that again.
178
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,475
Yeah, both of us.
179
00:06:17,509 --> 00:06:18,843
So, earlier...
180
00:06:18,876 --> 00:06:20,723
when you said it was "cool"
being married to me...
181
00:06:20,748 --> 00:06:22,682
Super cool, babe.
182
00:06:22,715 --> 00:06:25,851
I mean, how many black women
have you been with before me?
183
00:06:25,884 --> 00:06:26,942
Been with?
184
00:06:26,967 --> 00:06:28,853
Mm-hmm.
185
00:06:28,886 --> 00:06:31,089
You know about my other
serious relationships.
186
00:06:31,122 --> 00:06:33,525
Yes, your two white
high school girlfriends,
187
00:06:33,559 --> 00:06:35,928
but I'm talking about casual dating,
188
00:06:35,961 --> 00:06:37,763
free love, and all that.
189
00:06:37,795 --> 00:06:41,033
Ah, in the spirit of free love
and all that, does it matter?
190
00:06:41,066 --> 00:06:43,336
- I'm just curious.
- Oh.
191
00:06:43,369 --> 00:06:45,504
I'd have to think.
192
00:06:45,537 --> 00:06:48,506
I mean, 'cause there was...
193
00:06:48,540 --> 00:06:50,275
...around elev...
194
00:06:50,309 --> 00:06:52,845
Mmmmmmm... wait.
195
00:06:52,877 --> 00:06:55,180
Maybe zero?
196
00:06:55,213 --> 00:06:57,115
Two?
197
00:06:57,148 --> 00:06:59,351
God, it's so hard to remember.
I mean, uh...
198
00:06:59,384 --> 00:07:01,687
Do hugs count? 'Cause I don't
discriminate with hugs.
199
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:02,922
You want one?
200
00:07:04,155 --> 00:07:05,790
Doesn't look like it.
What was the question?
201
00:07:05,824 --> 00:07:07,225
- How many black...
- No, okay.
202
00:07:07,259 --> 00:07:09,895
Babe, come on.
We've been married 15 years!
203
00:07:09,927 --> 00:07:11,696
What... W-W-What...
204
00:07:11,730 --> 00:07:13,633
What are we doing?
Let's just watch "Foxy Brown"!
205
00:07:14,900 --> 00:07:16,736
Or Dan Rather? We both like Dan Rather.
206
00:07:16,768 --> 00:07:17,769
Right?
207
00:07:19,304 --> 00:07:20,833
And finally tonight,
208
00:07:20,858 --> 00:07:24,210
we explore Robert De Niro's
unconventional taste in women.
209
00:07:24,242 --> 00:07:25,944
You know what, let's just read.
210
00:07:27,146 --> 00:07:28,780
Back in the day of landlines,
211
00:07:28,814 --> 00:07:31,917
there was an unwritten rule
that under no circumstances
212
00:07:31,949 --> 00:07:35,120
would you call anyone else's
house after 9:00 PM.
213
00:07:35,153 --> 00:07:38,423
And it was 8:50.
214
00:07:39,824 --> 00:07:41,326
Hello. Olsen residence.
215
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,828
Hi, Mrs. Olsen. Is Bryce there?
216
00:07:43,862 --> 00:07:45,731
This is Bryce.
217
00:07:45,763 --> 00:07:47,133
Oh! Sorry.
218
00:07:47,165 --> 00:07:48,566
Hiii.
219
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,436
Uh, who is this?
220
00:07:50,468 --> 00:07:52,137
Yes, this is...
221
00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:54,473
Mary? From social studies?
222
00:07:54,506 --> 00:07:55,941
This doesn't sound like Mary.
223
00:07:55,973 --> 00:07:58,243
I might have a cold.
But it's me... Mary.
224
00:07:58,276 --> 00:07:59,911
From social studies.
225
00:07:59,944 --> 00:08:02,480
Uh, okay. What's up?
226
00:08:02,513 --> 00:08:03,982
I was just wondering
227
00:08:04,016 --> 00:08:05,951
what pages we were
supposed to read tonight.
228
00:08:05,984 --> 00:08:08,787
I think 48 through 62.
229
00:08:08,821 --> 00:08:10,523
Shoot. I forgot my book at school.
230
00:08:10,555 --> 00:08:11,856
Do you think you could read it to me?
231
00:08:11,889 --> 00:08:13,525
Yeah, I guess so.
232
00:08:13,559 --> 00:08:14,623
"In 1860"...
233
00:08:14,648 --> 00:08:15,795
Hey, Rainbow. I...
234
00:08:15,828 --> 00:08:17,496
Ah, you're on the phone.
235
00:08:17,528 --> 00:08:18,663
Get away!
236
00:08:18,696 --> 00:08:20,499
Uh... Mary?
237
00:08:20,532 --> 00:08:22,335
You still there?
238
00:08:22,367 --> 00:08:23,336
Uh-huh.
239
00:08:23,369 --> 00:08:24,636
You can keep reading.
240
00:08:24,670 --> 00:08:26,706
"Jointly operated by the
Pikes Peak Express Company"...
241
00:08:26,739 --> 00:08:28,722
This was a dumpster fire.
242
00:08:29,623 --> 00:08:32,824
- How'd it go last night?
- We need to talk. In private.
243
00:08:37,516 --> 00:08:40,021
Johan! This is the girls' bathroom!
Scram, dude!
244
00:08:40,046 --> 00:08:41,988
All right, all right!
245
00:08:43,554 --> 00:08:45,357
So, what happened? Spill.
246
00:08:45,391 --> 00:08:47,481
I chickened out. I can't do this.
247
00:08:47,506 --> 00:08:49,128
You and I should just
go together as friends.
248
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,996
I already have a date.
249
00:08:51,029 --> 00:08:53,399
What?! Since when?
250
00:08:55,434 --> 00:08:58,109
Johan! This is the girls' bathroom!
Scram, dude!
251
00:08:58,134 --> 00:09:00,038
All right, all right!
252
00:09:06,111 --> 00:09:08,013
I told you I was going to ask down.
253
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,416
Thanks for having lunch with me.
254
00:09:11,449 --> 00:09:14,052
I had Paul pack extra tofu soup.
255
00:09:14,085 --> 00:09:15,554
Which is why I brought ribs.
256
00:09:16,726 --> 00:09:17,857
Okay.
257
00:09:17,890 --> 00:09:18,890
What's up?
258
00:09:18,929 --> 00:09:20,578
Something weird happened with Paul.
259
00:09:20,603 --> 00:09:23,027
I asked him how many black women
he'd been with before me...
260
00:09:23,060 --> 00:09:24,196
You can't ask that!
261
00:09:25,396 --> 00:09:26,498
What'd he say?
262
00:09:26,531 --> 00:09:27,499
He wouldn't tell me.
263
00:09:27,532 --> 00:09:29,100
Oh, damn, he's good.
264
00:09:29,133 --> 00:09:30,935
And why is this just coming out now?
265
00:09:30,968 --> 00:09:33,171
On the commune, none of this mattered.
266
00:09:33,204 --> 00:09:35,407
Black, white, past, present,
267
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,545
it was all just a beautiful harmony.
268
00:09:40,878 --> 00:09:42,947
How do you still have
custody of your kids?
269
00:09:42,981 --> 00:09:44,750
Look, it matters now.
270
00:09:44,782 --> 00:09:46,117
What you think his number is?
271
00:09:46,150 --> 00:09:47,620
Is there a right answer?
272
00:09:47,652 --> 00:09:49,788
I mean, if it was a lot of black women,
273
00:09:49,822 --> 00:09:52,024
then it could be a fetish.
274
00:09:52,056 --> 00:09:54,526
But if he hadn't been with any others,
275
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,728
then maybe I'm an experiment.
276
00:09:56,761 --> 00:09:57,929
My money's on fetish.
277
00:09:57,963 --> 00:09:59,631
Does he ever make you role-play?
278
00:09:59,665 --> 00:10:01,766
Like, you're a struggling R&B singer
279
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,536
and he's a powerful,
white record executive?
280
00:10:04,569 --> 00:10:06,070
No!
281
00:10:06,103 --> 00:10:08,879
Okay. Your and my experiences
have been different.
282
00:10:08,904 --> 00:10:10,247
Mm-hmm.
283
00:10:10,272 --> 00:10:12,919
My secretary made reservations for us
284
00:10:12,944 --> 00:10:14,379
at these three restaurants.
285
00:10:14,413 --> 00:10:16,949
Uh-huh. And which one is most expensive?
286
00:10:16,982 --> 00:10:19,083
The one that doesn't have
the prices listed.
287
00:10:19,117 --> 00:10:21,386
I think we have a winner.
288
00:10:21,420 --> 00:10:24,622
As an adult, my sister's type
is rich, older men,
289
00:10:24,655 --> 00:10:27,258
and she honestly has no idea
where that came from.
290
00:10:27,291 --> 00:10:28,827
She's just crazy.
291
00:10:28,861 --> 00:10:31,463
Everyone has a type,
and t-t-that's fine, right?
292
00:10:31,497 --> 00:10:33,064
I have a type,
293
00:10:33,098 --> 00:10:35,733
but I can't say it
in front of my granddaughter.
294
00:10:35,766 --> 00:10:38,395
Santi, I think I see
a hummingbird in the backyard.
295
00:10:38,420 --> 00:10:39,571
You want to go check that out?
296
00:10:39,604 --> 00:10:42,535
Fine. I'll play your little game.
297
00:10:43,942 --> 00:10:46,278
What if, maybe...
298
00:10:46,310 --> 00:10:48,780
I did see some color
when I started dating Alicia?
299
00:10:48,814 --> 00:10:50,182
I don't know what you mean.
300
00:10:50,214 --> 00:10:52,358
Isn't this the family
that doesn't see color?
301
00:10:52,383 --> 00:10:53,389
Dad, come on.
302
00:10:53,414 --> 00:10:55,253
Oh, relax. I dated a black woman once.
303
00:10:55,286 --> 00:10:57,021
You don't see me boo-hoo-ing about it.
304
00:10:57,054 --> 00:10:58,524
So I shouldn't be bothered by the fact
305
00:10:58,556 --> 00:10:59,491
that I have an obvious type?
306
00:10:59,525 --> 00:11:01,093
No!
307
00:11:01,126 --> 00:11:03,095
Remember, this is just your first wife.
308
00:11:03,127 --> 00:11:04,329
You're welcome.
309
00:11:04,362 --> 00:11:06,799
Deep down, I knew I still wanted
310
00:11:06,832 --> 00:11:08,501
to go to the dance with Bryce,
311
00:11:08,534 --> 00:11:10,836
and I spent all day
trying to talk to him.
312
00:11:10,868 --> 00:11:12,303
But it was just impossible.
313
00:11:12,337 --> 00:11:13,439
Oh. Hey, Rainbow.
314
00:11:13,472 --> 00:11:15,140
Until it wasn't.
315
00:11:15,173 --> 00:11:17,510
Hey, did you call me last night?
316
00:11:17,543 --> 00:11:19,144
What? No.
317
00:11:19,176 --> 00:11:21,646
Although, I, too, got an odd phone call.
318
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,149
Was it from a Mary
who kind of sounded like you?
319
00:11:24,181 --> 00:11:25,283
That's so strange,
320
00:11:25,317 --> 00:11:27,053
because to me, she sounded like you.
321
00:11:28,587 --> 00:11:30,289
This was the perfect time.
322
00:11:30,322 --> 00:11:32,558
So naturally, I wanted to run and hide.
323
00:11:32,591 --> 00:11:34,727
But I'd done enough of that.
324
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:35,995
Bryce...
325
00:11:37,261 --> 00:11:39,397
...will you go to the dance with me?
326
00:11:39,430 --> 00:11:40,732
That'd be great.
327
00:11:40,766 --> 00:11:42,233
Really?!
328
00:11:42,266 --> 00:11:44,236
I mean... okay. Cool.
329
00:11:44,269 --> 00:11:45,571
It's a date.
330
00:11:50,409 --> 00:11:53,312
My brother and I were riding high,
331
00:11:53,344 --> 00:11:54,846
and you could tell.
332
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,582
Somebody's feeling himself.
333
00:11:56,615 --> 00:11:58,384
People thought hanging around
the girls' bathroom
334
00:11:58,416 --> 00:12:01,719
sounded creepy,
but who's the cool guy now?
335
00:12:01,752 --> 00:12:03,254
So, who's the lucky lady?
336
00:12:03,288 --> 00:12:05,057
- Micaela.
- Micaela.
337
00:12:05,089 --> 00:12:06,090
Is she black?
338
00:12:06,123 --> 00:12:07,258
I'm not sure.
339
00:12:07,291 --> 00:12:09,360
Uh, the moment happened very fast.
340
00:12:09,394 --> 00:12:10,596
She's Latina.
341
00:12:10,628 --> 00:12:12,897
Oh. All right. That works for me.
342
00:12:12,930 --> 00:12:14,232
What do you mean by that?
343
00:12:14,266 --> 00:12:17,535
White people are over here,
black people are over here,
344
00:12:17,569 --> 00:12:19,737
and Latinas are right here.
345
00:12:19,771 --> 00:12:22,373
So you'd prefer
Johan to be with a black girl?
346
00:12:22,406 --> 00:12:23,675
Absolutely!
347
00:12:23,708 --> 00:12:25,276
Look, I just want to be able to fit in
348
00:12:25,309 --> 00:12:26,578
with who you kids date.
349
00:12:26,612 --> 00:12:28,613
And I can fit in great with Latinas.
350
00:12:28,646 --> 00:12:30,049
Some of them grew up in the hood,
351
00:12:30,082 --> 00:12:32,718
they like hot sauce
as much as I do, and...
352
00:12:33,651 --> 00:12:35,253
Yeah, that's enough.
353
00:12:35,286 --> 00:12:37,843
I had no idea
that who I chose to be with
354
00:12:37,868 --> 00:12:39,724
would matter so much to my aunt.
355
00:12:39,757 --> 00:12:42,460
All I had been focused on
was that Bryce had nice teeth
356
00:12:42,493 --> 00:12:45,229
and the teachers said he looked
like a young Tony Danza.
357
00:12:45,262 --> 00:12:47,565
I didn't know who that was,
but he sounded cute.
358
00:12:47,598 --> 00:12:49,548
So, who are you taking to the dance?
359
00:12:50,801 --> 00:12:51,970
Um...
360
00:12:52,003 --> 00:12:53,838
I haven't decided yet.
361
00:12:56,074 --> 00:12:58,776
The best thing I could do
was not think about it.
362
00:12:58,809 --> 00:13:01,814
That was easier said than done,
considering it was the night
363
00:13:01,847 --> 00:13:05,117
my family had decided to go
shopping for dance clothes.
364
00:13:07,019 --> 00:13:09,989
You have anything
with a little more flair?
365
00:13:15,593 --> 00:13:17,563
I clean up good.
366
00:13:19,131 --> 00:13:21,300
Now, this, I can work with.
367
00:13:22,867 --> 00:13:24,737
Oh, Bowdie!
368
00:13:24,770 --> 00:13:26,605
- Bow-Bow!
- You look gorgeous!
369
00:13:26,637 --> 00:13:28,439
Like Vanessa Williams.
370
00:13:28,473 --> 00:13:30,909
Oh, interesting you'd pick
a black celebrity.
371
00:13:30,942 --> 00:13:34,012
- Well, babe, she... Miss America.
- Mm-hmm.
372
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,280
Hi.
373
00:13:35,313 --> 00:13:36,682
Can I help get another size?
374
00:13:40,551 --> 00:13:42,820
Alicia, this, uh, plain-looking woman
375
00:13:42,853 --> 00:13:44,422
thinks Bow needs a different size.
376
00:13:44,455 --> 00:13:47,525
I think we're fine
for right now, thank you.
377
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,495
Why are you pretending not to notice
378
00:13:49,527 --> 00:13:51,029
that gorgeous black woman?
379
00:13:51,063 --> 00:13:52,131
Gor...
380
00:13:52,164 --> 00:13:53,966
She really didn't catch my eye.
381
00:13:53,998 --> 00:13:56,367
She's obviously your type, and so am I,
382
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,303
and to be honest,
I-I don't feel great about that.
383
00:13:58,335 --> 00:14:00,271
Come on. This is not fair.
384
00:14:00,304 --> 00:14:02,507
How do I know you didn't
just want me for all of this?
385
00:14:02,540 --> 00:14:04,676
- I'm serious.
- Okay, well, so am I.
386
00:14:04,709 --> 00:14:07,179
I mean, honestly, sometimes
I feel like I'm an experiment...
387
00:14:07,212 --> 00:14:09,014
like your first taste of white cheddar.
388
00:14:09,046 --> 00:14:10,281
It doesn't go that way!
389
00:14:10,314 --> 00:14:11,949
Doesn't she look amazing?!
390
00:14:11,982 --> 00:14:14,185
- Oh, my goodness!
- Oh! I love that!
391
00:14:14,218 --> 00:14:16,821
I can't wait to take a picture
of you and your date.
392
00:14:16,854 --> 00:14:19,490
So, tell me, am I gonna need a flash...
393
00:14:19,524 --> 00:14:20,859
or is he white?
394
00:14:20,891 --> 00:14:22,560
- Oh, Denise! Really?
- Is he... Right?
395
00:14:22,593 --> 00:14:24,128
- We doing this?
- I need it for my camera equipment.
396
00:14:24,161 --> 00:14:25,329
This should've been a happy moment,
397
00:14:25,362 --> 00:14:28,367
but my aunt wasn't backing down.
398
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,836
And to make things worse,
399
00:14:30,868 --> 00:14:34,405
there was only one kids'
formal wear store in town.
400
00:14:42,113 --> 00:14:43,514
Hey, Rainbow.
401
00:14:43,548 --> 00:14:44,982
Oh. Hi.
402
00:14:45,016 --> 00:14:46,517
Is that the dress
you're wearing to the dance?
403
00:14:46,550 --> 00:14:48,052
It's really pretty.
404
00:14:48,085 --> 00:14:49,020
Oh, this?
405
00:14:49,054 --> 00:14:51,390
No. This is for my going-away party.
406
00:14:51,423 --> 00:14:52,558
I'm going away.
407
00:14:52,591 --> 00:14:54,093
I'm... in the Army now.
408
00:14:54,126 --> 00:14:55,194
I leave tomorrow.
409
00:14:55,227 --> 00:14:56,328
You joined the Army?
410
00:14:56,361 --> 00:14:57,463
Yep. Going to the Army.
411
00:15:00,598 --> 00:15:01,900
Just to be clear,
412
00:15:01,933 --> 00:15:04,069
I can't go to the dance with you.
413
00:15:04,102 --> 00:15:05,437
I'm really sorry.
414
00:15:17,913 --> 00:15:20,919
I'd made a fool of myself
in front of the boy I liked,
415
00:15:20,944 --> 00:15:23,088
so I pulled the classic teenage move
416
00:15:23,121 --> 00:15:25,223
of running to my room,
slamming the door,
417
00:15:25,256 --> 00:15:26,592
and waiting for an adult
418
00:15:26,625 --> 00:15:29,273
to come say
exactly what I needed to hear.
419
00:15:31,184 --> 00:15:33,453
You are bad at hiding from white people.
420
00:15:33,478 --> 00:15:36,868
You are the last person I'd pick
for the Underground Railroad.
421
00:15:36,901 --> 00:15:38,636
So, who was he?
422
00:15:38,670 --> 00:15:41,272
That's who I was
going to take to the dance.
423
00:15:41,305 --> 00:15:42,708
But now I'm not.
424
00:15:42,741 --> 00:15:45,110
Because of
what we talked about before...
425
00:15:45,142 --> 00:15:47,378
about who you think I should date.
426
00:15:47,411 --> 00:15:49,180
Oh, Bow.
427
00:15:51,348 --> 00:15:52,818
I am so sorry
428
00:15:52,851 --> 00:15:56,121
the crazy things I said
messed up your dance.
429
00:15:56,154 --> 00:15:57,689
But you're gonna need a thicker skin
430
00:15:57,714 --> 00:15:59,958
if you're gonna play in the snow.
431
00:15:59,991 --> 00:16:02,895
I will always have wild opinions.
432
00:16:02,928 --> 00:16:05,330
For example, I know
giraffes were a mistake.
433
00:16:05,362 --> 00:16:06,464
What are they for?
434
00:16:06,497 --> 00:16:08,232
But I don't want my opinions
435
00:16:08,266 --> 00:16:12,069
to get in the way
of you living your life.
436
00:16:12,102 --> 00:16:14,173
So you think you'd be okay
with me liking a white guy?
437
00:16:14,205 --> 00:16:16,474
Look, I give your mom a lot of heat
438
00:16:16,507 --> 00:16:17,843
for marrying your dad,
439
00:16:17,876 --> 00:16:20,946
but you kids came out of it,
and you are the best thing
440
00:16:20,978 --> 00:16:23,448
that's ever happened to any of us.
441
00:16:23,481 --> 00:16:25,650
Thanks, Aunt Denise.
442
00:16:25,684 --> 00:16:27,019
So you should do you,
443
00:16:27,051 --> 00:16:29,086
'cause Dee-Dee gon' do Dee-Dee.
444
00:16:30,121 --> 00:16:31,368
I love you, girl.
445
00:16:32,390 --> 00:16:33,592
Mm-mm.
446
00:16:33,625 --> 00:16:35,394
Your sister handled that well.
447
00:16:36,828 --> 00:16:38,664
Does that mean we can stop eavesdropping
448
00:16:38,697 --> 00:16:40,265
when she's giving the kids advice?
449
00:16:40,298 --> 00:16:41,600
I wouldn't go that far.
450
00:16:41,632 --> 00:16:43,434
I heard her tell Santamonica
451
00:16:43,468 --> 00:16:45,679
that if she needs more
attention, she should run away.
452
00:16:45,704 --> 00:16:46,989
Mm.
453
00:16:48,673 --> 00:16:50,542
She's right, though.
454
00:16:50,574 --> 00:16:52,310
Our kids are pretty great.
455
00:16:52,343 --> 00:16:53,344
They're okay.
456
00:16:53,377 --> 00:16:55,814
Look, I know I got a little rattled
457
00:16:55,847 --> 00:16:57,115
by the fact that you have a type.
458
00:16:57,147 --> 00:16:58,850
But, I... Real... You know, uh...
459
00:16:58,883 --> 00:17:01,452
And what's scary
460
00:17:01,486 --> 00:17:03,622
about finding out someone has a type
461
00:17:03,655 --> 00:17:06,357
is being afraid that...
462
00:17:06,390 --> 00:17:08,025
they don't see you for who you are.
463
00:17:08,158 --> 00:17:09,527
Stop it.
464
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,295
Baby, I love you.
465
00:17:11,328 --> 00:17:15,567
And I love you because you're
smart, funny, brave, strong,
466
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:16,968
and probably out of my league.
467
00:17:17,001 --> 00:17:19,471
And that's all that is happening here.
468
00:17:19,503 --> 00:17:21,339
"Probably"?
469
00:17:22,374 --> 00:17:23,675
That was... That was cute.
470
00:17:23,707 --> 00:17:25,343
- Well, it's true.
- Mm.
471
00:17:25,376 --> 00:17:28,046
And when I first met you
at that lunch counter protest
472
00:17:28,078 --> 00:17:30,848
and saw the strength and conviction
473
00:17:30,882 --> 00:17:33,986
in how you stood up
to those awful people...
474
00:17:34,019 --> 00:17:35,887
I just had to know you.
475
00:17:35,921 --> 00:17:37,605
And fine, I thought
you were smokin' hot.
476
00:17:37,630 --> 00:17:38,932
I still do.
477
00:17:38,957 --> 00:17:41,526
But I will never apologize for that.
478
00:17:41,559 --> 00:17:43,637
And I don't want you to.
479
00:17:43,662 --> 00:17:45,697
I know you see me for me.
480
00:17:45,730 --> 00:17:48,934
And I see you for you...
481
00:17:48,966 --> 00:17:50,696
a slice of white cheddar.
482
00:17:50,721 --> 00:17:51,977
- Mm!
- Ohh.
483
00:17:52,002 --> 00:17:53,282
- Yeah.
- You like that.
484
00:17:53,307 --> 00:17:54,338
- I do.
- Mm-hmm.
485
00:18:06,417 --> 00:18:09,311
So, we think this Bryce kid is
just waiting by his fax machine?
486
00:18:11,556 --> 00:18:13,692
Ooh! Okay, Bryce!
487
00:18:16,293 --> 00:18:18,530
Oh! He checked "Yes"!
488
00:18:18,564 --> 00:18:20,131
Yes, yes, yes, yes!
489
00:18:20,165 --> 00:18:22,401
Yet again, I had my yes.
490
00:18:22,434 --> 00:18:24,269
And in that moment,
I wasn't thinking about
491
00:18:24,301 --> 00:18:26,871
him being black, white,
Latino, or mixed.
492
00:18:26,905 --> 00:18:29,074
I was just excited
to be going to my first dance
493
00:18:29,107 --> 00:18:30,908
with a cute boy named Bryce.
494
00:18:30,942 --> 00:18:32,611
Yay!
495
00:18:34,235 --> 00:18:35,446
I'm really glad you asked me.
496
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:36,714
Both times.
497
00:18:36,748 --> 00:18:38,450
Sorry it was so complicated.
498
00:18:38,482 --> 00:18:40,251

But when they charge
an arm and a leg for it,
523
00:19:46,751 --> 00:19:48,787

whether I was locking in a type
that I could never shake.
536
00:20:14,578 --> 00:20:16,748
But by the time I got to the dance,
537
00:20:16,780 --> 00:20:20,051
I was done with worrying
and decided to just have fun.

Hi. I'm Denise.
546
00:20:48,046 --> 00:20:50,549
I work customer service by day,
547
00:20:50,581 --> 00:20:53,047
but I'm a wild woman at night.
548
00:20:54,719 --> 00:20:56,409
I'm looking for a man...
549
00:20:56,434 --> 00:20:58,362
Oh. You may have noticed
550
00:20:58,387 --> 00:21:01,259
I have incredibly brown eyes.
551
00:21:01,291 --> 00:21:03,294
I do not play sports.
552
00:21:03,328 --> 00:21:06,431
I'm looking for a man
with strong arms, a job,
553
00:21:06,463 --> 00:21:08,232
and air conditioning.
554
00:21:08,265 --> 00:21:12,436
I have two nieces and one nephew
that I love very much.
555
00:21:12,470 --> 00:21:14,306
But if you live in another state,
556
00:21:14,338 --> 00:21:16,374
I will move.
557
00:21:16,406 --> 00:21:17,742
Thank you for watching.
558
00:21:17,774 --> 00:21:19,743
I look forward to your call.
