Millers in Marriage

Edward Burns is a very talented writer, director, and actor. I have seen several of his works and always consider them pretty good. But when I watched this 2024 movie, it seemed to be not quite right this time. After I did some thinking, I finally understood why I had such feelings and what was wrong with this screenplay. I don't know if you have found out or not, but I will point it out to you anyway.

Three all-white couples?! That is so wrong! In all the movies we have seen in recent years, the married couple should be and must be an interracial couple, either the husband is African American, or the wife is African American, or either one should be Asian sometimes. That is how we show to the world, that Americans' marriages, like cops or business organizations, are based on the DEI principle. Most of the superior ones should be African Americans. Therefore, these three couples all in White just looked so unreal. Mr. Burns completely ignored the actual norm of Hollywood. One of the three couples, the husband should be African American, and one of the couple, the wife should be African American. Only one couple, the husband and wife could be White, or best yet more thoroughly DEI, one of them is Asian American, Hindi American, Chinese American, or Korean American. Three couples all in White; how boring it would be!

Anyway, I would not think Mr. Burns is a racist for such an overlooked mistake.
