At the office where I used to work several years ago, a (white) woman on maternity
leave came back in one day so everyone could see the new baby she'd had with her
(black) partner. An older colleague was absolutely smitten with the baby, and her
compliments included "Isn't she beautiful? And she hardly looks black at all!" It's
a gobsmacking comment that came to mind during a look at how things are for
interracial couples - and their mixed-race children - in America, as Aurin Squire
advises
Don't Smoke in Bed. In fact smoking, in bed or elsewhere, is
something Jamaican-American Richard (Greg Lockett) and Irish-American Sheryl (Clare
Latham) have just agreed to give up together when they start a series of interviews
with an (unseen by the audience) reporter on a webcam: The
New York Times
Sunday magazine is doing a feature on various couples in their bedrooms.
