Author mixed up races of actors. John White was a white Englishman (anglo or caucasian), and Joan Hooley was a black Jamaican (not African).

| Jul 28, 2016 at 15:45 | comment | added | reirab | "the latter is a Filipino playing an Asian." This seems funny to me. Aren't the Philippines generally considered to be part of Asia? It's not mainland Asia, of course, but it's not far off the coast. Northern Luzon is closer to mainland Asia than Tokyo is. | |

Adding Movin' with Nancy picture

| Jul 28, 2016 at 6:14 | comment | added | prosfilaes | In the US, under law, Hispanics can be of any race, so Desi Arnaz could be considered fully Hispanic and fully White, and his kiss and marriage with Lucille Ball would not have been shocking the way a Black-White kiss or marriage might have been. | |
| Jul 28, 2016 at 5:01 | comment | added | user38390 | Could not help but notice, was the Star trek 22 November 1968 Kiss the first interracial Black/White kiss in color? (all the other examples were in black and white), and also just being interracial in nature was the 6 October 1967 kiss first in color? If so then Star Trek can add this to it's "no man has gone before" list and an asterisk could be added to the claim with small print *in color. | |
| Jul 27, 2016 at 20:51 | comment | added | Thunderforge | @Monso Wikipedia says that prime time is 8-11pm EST and Movin' with Nancy was aired in the US from 8-9pm EST. So even by that definition, it wasn't the first. | |
| Jul 27, 2016 at 20:09 | comment | added | Monso | I was always told it was the first for Prime Time in the US, not guaranteeing it is, but I believe that's how the rumor of first entirely started. | |

| Jul 27, 2016 at 16:47 | comment | added | Thunderforge | @matt_black I've edited the question to clarify that we're asking about the very broad claim made that it was "the very first televised interracial kiss", which to me doesn't imply American. Besides, the BFI institute used similar wording to describe their find of You in Your Small Corner, again not implying American. As I said, there is definitely wiggle room when talking about what counts as "interracial". I'm not going to get into an argument there, but I think it's pretty clear that it's not Kirk and Uhura. | |
| Jul 27, 2016 at 16:35 | comment | added | matt_black | That's a lot of examples, but only because the question has been interpreted so broadly. Normally I assume we mean US TV not world TV (many examples are from the UK where the issues of race are very different). And you use a broad interpretation of race. I always assumed that the context implied black-white kissing (caucasian-african) not hispanic/asian/other non-black racial group. On this interpretation you have one (possibly dodgy) example (the Nancy Sinatra one). | |
