Two other examples from fandoms that I love are Turk from Scrubs and, especially egregious, Gus from Psych.

Both show have slash pairings basically spoon fed to the viewer, both those pairings are white guy/black guy, and both pairings are completely ignored in favor of shipping the white main character with a guy who (by all appearances) can't stand him.

I prefer ships where the guys start off hating each other, and I won't deny that, being white, I tend to find white people more attractive to me personally, so I am also guilty of contributing to the problem. However. in the cases where I have shipped pairings involving non-white men, there has been exactly NO FIC EVER.

Ugh, don't even get me started on Psych. When I first got into that show, I could not believe how little Shawn/Gus fic there was. Shawn/Lassiter? I can see how that dynamic would be appealing, but come on. Shawn/Gus was practically handed to us and everyone would rather have Shawn/Lassiter?

I like Lassiter more than any character other than Shawn, so I went straight for Shawn/Lassiter (also probably some unconscious racism on my part. *shame*), but I also was SHOCKED at the lack of Shus in Psych fandom! They are totally the best dudebros ever, and if Gus was white I think they would be the number one pairing.

I love Lassiter too and the only pairing I ship for Psych is Lassiter/Juliet. I knew I was setting myself for disappointment there.

But, yeah, I can't help but think that if Gus were white, he and Shawn would be the biggest ship.

Both I and my mother were hoping that Juliet's canon relationship would be with Lassiter. Sadly, we were also aware of how unlikely it was.
