One common theme is the struggle against society's norms. In many stories, they face discrimination or lack of acceptance due to their relationship and their sexual orientation. For example, they might face difficulties in family acceptance or in public settings.
Identity exploration is also a big theme. The characters are often exploring their sexual identity, especially in relation to their race. They might be dealing with how being black or white affects how they experience their lesbian identity. In some stories, they might face different expectations from their own racial communities regarding their sexuality.
One well - known black and white lesbian story is 'The Price of Salt' by Patricia Highsmith. It's a classic that delves into the relationship between two women from different backgrounds. The story is set in a time when such relationships were not openly accepted, and it beautifully portrays the love and longing between the two main characters.
The movie 'Carol' is based on a story that can be considered in this regard. It shows a relationship between two women, one of whom is in a difficult situation in her marriage. The story beautifully portrays their love and the challenges they face in a 1950s setting.
It is not ethical at all. In a society that is aiming for equality and respect, these stories go against those values. Black women already face various forms of discrimination, and this kind of story only adds to the negative perception. White lesbians also should not be part of a narrative that is about domination over another group. We need to promote stories that celebrate diversity and equality.
There could be some self - published works or small - scale indie films that might touch on this theme. But finding them can be quite difficult. One reason is that the representation of such relationships needs to be done very carefully to avoid misrepresentation or offense. Also, the mainstream market may not be as interested in such specific and potentially controversial relationship dynamics.
Mainstream literature typically focuses on positive, diverse, and inclusive stories that promote understanding and respect among different groups. Stories with the content you mentioned go against these values and are not part of mainstream literary works.
These types of stories can be disturbing as they may not respect the rights and dignity of the individuals represented. They can also contribute to a culture that normalizes inappropriate and unethical behavior.
One way is to raise awareness about the unethical nature of such stories. Through social media, blogs or discussions, we can point out why they are wrong. Another way is to support media that promotes positive and diverse representations.
One challenge is the potential for misrepresentation. Each group has its own unique cultural and social background, and getting it wrong can lead to offense. Another challenge is the acceptance from a wider audience. Such a specific and perhaps unconventional relationship dynamic might not be easily embraced by the mainstream.
