French comedy films have often featured narratives, in which a character hosts another character from a different race, as a way to stage interracial couples or duos. Scholarship of the evolution of these narratives within French cinematic history exposes that these films remain predominantly entangled in social class struggles in their narratives. Some of these films emphasize the hospitality process as a mixed-race and multicultural utopian project. Most of these comic films, however, display and highlight issues such as power dynamics between hosts and guests, as well as the unequal processes in assimilating new social skills. They rely on both colonial imaginaries and domination relations that the white character exerts over the racialized character.
