‘Black-ish’: Tracee Ellis Ross Talks Interracial Dating Episode

Quote

There’s good news coming on ABC’s “Black-ish”: Junior’s finally getting a girlfriend. But there’s a catch: She’s white — and his mother, Bow, played by Tracee Ellis Ross, isn’t quite sure how she feels about it.

The episode, titled “Being Bow-racial” (scheduled to air Nov. 30), is also the first told from Bow’s perspective — Ross takes over the voice-over from Anthony Anderson (who plays her husband, Dre). That also means we get to explore more of her past through flashbacks — as well as an animation sequence, which delves into the historical context of interracial dating.

Ross, who is mixed-race like her character, says she was thrilled by the opportunity to dive into Bow’s backstory, as well as explore a complex issue thoughtfully as the show done so well in the past. “There was a lot of joy in the making of this episode as a lot of personal things were explored and discovered,” says Ross. “I found it so hilarious — and perfect.”
