And dude, do you know how few interracial relationships there are on TV, period? 24 actually has more than most.
Dude, Annie's my girl and all, but Black!Renee could have also been awesome, as would an Asian Chloe. 24 gets more love from me though because they do also like to spin things on its head, like with Marie Warner and at least they cast handsome black and Asian agents as field agent redshirts. Plus, you know, the Palmers. And Agent Baker.
You know, science fiction has a much better track record for interracial dating, so your comment surprises me a little. Maybe in TNG and TOS it wasn't as prevalent, but in DS9, not only did you have the adorable O'Brien family (MOLLY!), you also had Jadzia Dax and Worf, Ezri Dax and Dr. Bashir. On Voyager, there were B'Elanna and Tom Paris, and as much as I hated it, Chakotay and 7of9. Plus Harry Kim had that huge crush on 7. So, while still not great, at least it's there and part of the major plot.
