Thinking of them realistically, I don't imagine any of the main White characters would have gotten involved with a Black person back then. They were still products of their times, and while they would not have been out-right "racist" in terms of using racial slurs and burning crosses, I think when it came to things like interracial marriage that might be a little too far. I definitely can't see Sue Ellen doing that. Now, by the time of the TNT revival, things may have changed. I recall David Jacobs saying that if he'd been in charge of the show he probably would have had Bobby be married to a Black woman who was from the East Coast, instead of another White woman from Texas like Ann.  I think that could have been interesting.</blockquote>
