Folks seem to be less uptight about black guys with white women.
Very much so. Where we live in the UK it is common to see white girls with black men or mixed race babies and no-one bats an eyelid. It's very rare to see a white guy with a black girlfriend or wife though. White wives taking black lovers is probably kept under wraps more, except when the wives talk to one another of course!

And has anyone else noticed that there's been a huge increase in TV ads featuring BM and WF couples?
Yes, I've noticed that. Most TV ads now feature a mixed couple, usually a black man with a white wife.
