[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 365344, member: 57984"] Of course it was an interracial marriage. Ricky just wasn't as dark as he might've been had he been of African descent. In fact, CBS told Lucy that she couldn't hire Ricky because no one would believe she was married to a Cuban bandleader, even though Lucy indeed was married to a Cuban bandleader. Ball won that battle, but she wouldn't have had Desi Arnaz had been Demondius Arnastishy. Speaking of Paula Dean, ten years ago, I was at the Varsity in downtown Atlanta one afternoon and, [I]voila![/I], there she was, standing in a sea of black people. The place was packed. It was just after her racism scandal. She looked at me and nervously smiled (they always look at me and smile, those ol' celebrities, but this time it was because of my vanilla-with-a-dash-of-olive-oil pallor) and I smiled back at her and then looked away -- heaven forbid somebody thought we were together!!
