16213, KEEP IT IN

all the more reason to include it...Its about interracial relationships, BTW, in one of which sex is a part, but its not like its some porno or something...

Its perfect for this discussion because its a counterpoint to how interracial sex is protrayed in some other films. A counterpoint provided by an African-American director...Just like Mississippi Masala is a good example because it has an interracial sex scene done by a female, Indian director (perhaps Indian-American, I forget where she's originally from).

Original post made the claim "all interracial sex is shown badly" on screen and these two films, along with the other exapmles listed, are evidence of why that is simply not true.

Now if you want to make the argument that interracial sex scenes done by white, male directors are always bad, then I agree Jungle Fever wouldn't qualify. Otherwise, you gotta look at the whole picture if you want to have an honest discussion.

Not to mention the ORIGNAL POST asked (paraphrasing) "can I make this claim if I haven't seen Jungle Fever?" and the answer is simply no...

peace
