Parents of bi-racial 8News Anchor Constance Jones discuss new ABC comedy ‘Mixed-ish’

By:Constance Jones

A new comedy on ABC “Mixed-ish” examines the complexities of mixed families.

The “Black-ish” spinoff comedy is centered around actress’ Tracee Ellis Ross’ character as a teenager as she faces several difficult hardships growing up mixed race.

According to a Pew Research Center survey, Multiracial Americans are leading the demographic change in the United States, growing at a rate three times as fast as the population.

8News Anchor Constance Jones, who also has a bi-racial family, spoke to her parents about ABC’s new show “Mixed-ish.” George and Ursula Jones have been married for over 46 years, since a time when it was barely legal in Virginia for mixed couples to tie the knot.

“I think this is overdue!” U. Jones said. “A lot of people are still surprised to learn that I’m in an interracial marriage. This show will give them a glimpse into the lives of an interracial couple.”
