			Depictions of relationships can reveal areas of continuing problems in SF, including representations of people of color, dealing with racism, etc.
			* representations of people of color: Are characters of color placed in relationships with white people in part because there are no other characters of color, or because a relationship between two characters of color is thought to be less charged or less of interest to a (presumed) white audience?
			* handling racism: is racism against the interracial couple realistically depicted, or realistically explained away?
			* How are depictions of sexuality handled? Similar in quantity, quality, style to any non-interracial relationship in that same series or work? Or are there fewer scenes for the interracial relationship? Or are there resonances with racist themes and ideas (such as, black men are violent; Asian women are submissive; etc.)?
