Or maybe I should say bi-racial. Black and white. A few years ago there was a minor commotion over a bi-racial couple in a commercial. It seems like now there isn’t a commercial that doesn’t have a bi-racial couple. I smile when I see one, but I almost never do. My golf buddy is black, but we are the only ones. What goes?
Huh?
Huh?
I’m unsure of the OP as well. It started just fine then got muddled.
But I think there are certainly more mixed race couples being shown on TV, both in commercials and on shows. In both cases it’s typically presented without comment or a significant plot point. I also see a lot more couples IRL, but part of that might be confirmation bias.
Does this confuse you?
I’m not trying to be argumentative, but I find your OP hard to parse. Let’s break it down.
OK. With you so far.
The double negative is a bit of a hurdle, but I’m still with you.
And, here we start to slip the rails. It seems like every commercial has an interracial couple, you smile when you see them, but you almost never do. I’m not sure what you’re actually smiling or not smiling at.
And here we’ve left the tracks entirely. Are you an interracial couple? Are you using “couple” to mean any pair of people, whether in a platonic or romantic relationship? You are the only what? Only mixed-race golf buddies? Or are you both black, and the only black golfers… where?
I assume you meant “What gives?”
Again, I’m not trying to be a dick, but this is kind of an impenetrable OP.
+1
“I smile when I see one…” Commercial? Commercial with biracial couple? “… but I almost never do”
There is another possibility, namely, OP is lamenting that he/she “almost never” sees “interracial couples” - the sight of which brings a smile to his or her lips - IRL.
Solution (assuming this is a problem): move to a city.
There’s something to be said for commercials reflecting the world we want to live in, not the world we do live in.
If people really didn’t care about race, most minorities would be part of an interracial couple.
The rate is going up and up pretty steadily.
You lost me even sooner. Interracial and biracial are the same. Biracial isn’t reserved for blacks and whites.
I’ve been seeing more interracial couples (romantic) on commercials AND in real life.
(And inevitably, the black person will be light-skinned with bouncy hair :))
I haven’t seen an uptick of other kinds of interracial pairings/groupings. But they are common enough where I live, especially for people under the age of 45.
There is an android app that I have that has really intrusive ads, including some for Jersey brand underwear. One in rotation currently features a really white guy in underwear playing with a really black baby.
Sometimes I don’t even.
I have often paused to ask myself “what goes?”
Anything, sometimes.
Or, everything, eventually.
I guess.
The difference between interracial and biracial can’t appear unless what you’re talking about is not a couple. 
Tiger Woods’ kids are not biracial. To take a random example.
In the greater L.A. area about 22% of marriages are “mixed,” (and in the city of L.A. proper, it’s higher). I would say that’s more than what is reflected in commercials, but to be honest, I rarely watch commericals, so it might not be.
In general, what I see in commercials is some dumb-ass marketer’s condescending idea of what he only thinks is the world I want. It is utterly clueless, and deserves nothing but contempt.
This is what confused me. You almost never see commercials with mixed, *sorry BI-*racial couples, but you smile when you see what you almost never see? Am I close?
Geez, people are asking for clarification, and this is all you can be bothered to provide as an answer?
