Also, earlier somebody said that Marvel didn't have the guts to have a canon interacial couple, but Enver Gjokaj is half Albanian and the surname Sousa is a common Portugese surname, so Peggy and Daniel are also an interacial couple. There's a RUMOR that we're getting season 3. But it is just a rumor, so take it with a grain of salt.

And I thought Sousa was an Italian surname honestly. But whatever the case, Italian, Portuguese, Albanian, they're all white. Same as British. So Peggy and Daniel aren't an interracial couple, they're an intercultural couple, since they're not the same kind of white. (Though if we're bringing in the actors' backgrounds, Hayley is American on her dad's side, explaining Peggy's fabulous accents.)

And also, Luke and Jessica are an interracial couple. They're on the outs right now, and they might not get back together (Jessica does date Scott Lang after hooking up with Luke in the comics, then leaves Scott to marry Luke after finding out she's pregnant), but they're comic book canon, and aside from one alternate universe where she marries Captain America, every other universe in the comics has Jessica Cage giving birth to Luke's child, named Danielle after Iron Fist. (And Danielle herself is in an interracial relationship in one of the alternate earths, being biracial and marrying the son of Black Panther and Storm, a fully-African prince.) Okay, thanks for clearing that up.

I guess race is more what society reads you as, so if you read Daniel/Enver as white, then I guess so... But Portugal is next to Spain and Portugese is also the national language of Brazil, so I read him as latino. And I guess he could even be African considering Portugese is also the national language of Mozambique. But agree to disagree.

Yeah, Luke and Jessica definitley are. Personally I hope they get back together in the TV show. :) Well, I personally think Portuguese and Spaniards are Latinos, since they're where all of us modern Latinos come from (and also the Native Americans and African slaves). But most people I tell this to always correct me saying they're white 'cause they're Europeans. So when talking with others, I say white but I consider them Latinos.

But Enver has portrayed Russians before so Sousa could theoretically be Russian. And in that case, he'd technically be Asian. Then it'd be an interracial relationship.

I really hope Luke and Jessica get back together, too. But they probably won't until after the Defenders.
