The 2021 UK Census recorded that 2.7% of the UK population identified as being in a mixed race relationship. Further recent surveys have suggested that interracial couples make up 7% of relationships in England and Wales. However conversely, in "TV land" or more accurately television advertisements, 90% of the couples appearing in adverts appear to be in mixed race relationships.
I don't know what's going on, but I think there's something wrong with my new TV, every advert has mixed race couples in it. I tried adjusting the horizontal and vertical hold, but that didn't make any difference! So I phoned Curry's to complain, they said "not us, mate, you want the Advertising Standards Authority".

Get the Mixed Race Couples mug.Race checking, a race check, or the past tense "race-checked" is an occurrence when one person claims to be a race and the other person denies them that privilege. It typically occurs when ambiguous ethnic groups claim to be white but a "race expert" will come in and deny his race, often in a cruel and mocking way. Race checkers come in many different races: An Indian man race checking an Arab who claims to be southern European for example.
"I'm white, bro!"
"You aren't white, you look like dirty arab!"
A bystander: "DAMN, GET RACE CHECKED!"
"You aren't white, you look like dirty arab!"
A bystander: "DAMN, GET RACE CHECKED!"

Get the Race checked mug.a phrase that was created by racists to try, usually unsuccessfully, to defend themselves from accusations of racism. It is a term used by those who are intellectually weak and lazy when they cannot counter a logical argument or factual data.
If you accuse someone of racism, and they are guilty of racism, they may accuse you of using the "race card."
