Can we think of some examples of main ships featuring pocs?

People shipped the hell out of Mohinder/Sylar in Heroes. That's the only one I can think of.

[(Anonymous)]

There was also a Matt/Mohinder contingent, as I recall.

[fingalsanteater]

Yeah, I shipped the hell out of that. I couldn't remember how popular it was, though.

I wish Heroes hadn't started sucking so bad. :(

[(Anonymous)]

Also some Hiro/Adam.

[(Anonymous)]

I'd consider Sulu/Chekov (aka Chulu) a main ship in Star Trek fandom, and it's interracial (w/the Asian dude pegged as the top no less!). As an Asian female, this ship suits my tastes very well ~

[(Anonymous)]

every anime and manga ever? entirety of non-western fandom? you ask that like its difficult

[fingalsanteater]

Yeah, well. I'm not that interested in the manga/anime/k-pop fandoms. Which is why I asked for examples, since those are not fandoms I'd think of.

[(Anonymous)]

To be fair, anime/manga characters are usually only Japanese by technicality. They don't look like POC - for that matter, they don't look like real humans, as they are cartoons - but an anime that features characters with black hair, dark brown eyes and non-pink-white skin is kind of uncommon. Most anime characters have white features, or at least, bi-racial if you will, even if they are deliberately supposed to be Japanese.

That being said, I would wager that pretty East Asian boys generally get more attention than other races by fandom. Though I don't think there are so many in Western shows, but nonetheless.

[(Anonymous)]

Every J-pop/Rock and K-pop ship. Every Asian Drama ship.

[(Anonymous)]

anon right above you

lol we think alike :)

these discussions are always so laser-focused on western media and a bunch of people that forget an entire rest of the world exists

[(Anonymous)]

I know this is pretty much ancient history in internet times, but both main slash ships for the show Homicide were interracial.

[(Anonymous)]

Wait, Homicide had an actual fandom? I had no idea!

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know how "main" these are, but peopled shipped Janeway/Chakotay on Voyager and Fred/Gunn on Angel. Zoe/Wash was a popular relationship on Firefly, although I'm not sure how much fandom felt the need to expand on it.

[(Anonymous)]

Janeway/Chakotay! Oh man, what a nostalgiabomb. That ship was my JAM when I was younger. Tom/B'Elanna too. And Kim/Seven. (And guilty weakpoints for Tom/Kim, Janeway/B'Elanna, and Janeway/Tuvok.) Dang, there were a lot of pretty great interracial ships on that show.

[(Anonymous)]

I ship the hell out of Team Hot Dads from Pacific Rim.

[fingalsanteater]

Who doesn't?

[(Anonymous)]

Oh God yes. That's my favorite Pacific Rim ship...but Pacific Rim fandom is, of course, focused on either the white science assholes or the white main heroes.

[(Anonymous)]

Abed/Troy on Community! Even most non-slashers I know like or at least see it!

[(Anonymous)]

Het or slash?

I don't actually know of any major slash ships with POCs (I'm aware of some smaller ones). But for het, there's Ichabbie in Sleepy Hollow and Olitz in Scandal. And Arwen in Merlin was pretty huge too, although it was always overshadowed by Arthur/Merlin.

[fenm]

The podcast series Welcome to Night Vale has Carlos, who's canonically not White, and Cecil, who's race/ethnicity has not been stated and thus could be a POC. And they're a couple in canon, too. (-:

[siofrabunnies]

Reid/Morgan is the most popular ship (afaik) for Criminal Minds.

[darkmanifest]

I was surprised to discover Daryl/Glenn (from The Walking Dead) is hugely popular on Ao3.

Here are some slash ships

[(Anonymous)]

Brian/Dom from The Fast and the Furious
Chakotay/Tom and Harry/Tom from Star Trek: Voyager (I actually had a thing for Tuvok/Tom, but that was much less popular)
Warrick/Nick from CSI (at one point anyway)
Wes/Travis from Common Law
Elliot/Hardison from Leverage
Ryan/Esposito from Castle
G/Sam seem to be the main slash pairing from NCIS:LA
Morgan/Reid from Criminal Minds

I sort of remember Data/Geordi from Star Trek: The Next Generation being fairly popular, but that was a while ago.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think they're a big pairing but I love them so
Kenzi/Hale Lost Girl

Boyd/Erica Teen Wolf (before Jeff Davis decided to be an idiot and get rid of the character with the most potential)

Anyone from the Avatar series if animation counts

Uhura/Kirk - Uhura/Spock - Uhura/Bones Star Trek

[jain]

Cougar/Jensen, Jolene/Pooch, Clay/Roque, and Aisha/Clay, all from The Losers. The fandom's interesting in that the white dude/white dude relationship--Clay/Jensen--has barely any fic for it (and this despite the fact that the white dudes in question are played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Chris Evans).
