One common theme is the breaking of racial stereotypes. Often, at first there are assumptions based on race, but as the story progresses, these are shattered. For example, the black boss may be initially seen as intimidating just because of his race, but turns out to be very kind and helpful.
There was a white wife whose husband was constantly stressed about his job under a very strict black boss. However, as time passed, she realized that the black boss was just trying to bring out the best in her husband. The black boss started involving the family in some company community events, and the white wife got to see his kind heart and leadership skills. Eventually, the family and the boss developed a great relationship.

Maybe the white employee has faced some difficulties at work and the black boss, seeing the family's struggle, offers the wife a chance to work in a related project which eventually helps the family's financial situation and also builds a positive interracial relationship within the workplace.
Well, in one story, the black boss has a very strict work ethic. The white employee's wife, who is also a very organized person, volunteers to help with some office management tasks during a busy period. The boss is initially hesitant but then sees her capabilities. Their cooperation during this time leads to a more efficient office operation and also sets an example for other employees about how people from different backgrounds can work together effectively.
A story might involve a white wife who is pregnant through a sperm donor who is black. She may have to deal with questions and curiosity from friends and family about her choice and how she will raise a child of a different race. She has to navigate through the complex emotions and social situations.
