Have you noticed black people are in pretty much every commercial now
Muddy

I don't watch TV nearly as much anymore but recently I watched a solid hour and yes every single commercial had a black person in it. Which I don't have a problem with it at all but it just seems like a big movement of companies to show how not racist they are. Blacks are only 13% of the US population. On my end I don't fuck black strippers to prove that I'm not racist, I fuck black strippers because it feels good when I put my dick in them.

WTF! I want to see some white hotties during the commercial breaks when I watch the Soul Train awards!
Those Tyler Perry shows have some delicious dark chocolate - but it would be nice to see a hot white babe with a booty from time to time too!
However, I haven't been to TGI Fridays since they aired this commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cojCZ_T… I'll never go there again due to one second of a commercial.
But I really hate the constant Medicare commercials
Across the industry there definitely was an Oh Shit moment during this summer's protests.
I've definitely noticed most media aimed at young people likes to have biracial leads.
Point where it is overdone to the degree where some think it’s pandering to a select few and therefore backfiring on its intent. Over selling the ethnic thing backfires on so many levels.
You them claim you jave no problem with a realistic portrayal of diversity. Thus alluding to quotas. So its okay if 3 out if 10 people on tv are black? Or perhaps if a single person has a black grandparent? How would you like to see that? But of course you only said that to attempt to not appear racist
The fact that you notice diversity in a negative light says enough about you.
Btw - you know who very rarely talk about race? Asian Americans. They’re obviously not white, but just quietly focus on family, education and hard work. And they kick ass and don’t worry about “systematic racism”
Bigotry and racism are pointed out. I don't see a problem with that. Arw bigots sensitive snowflakes who can't handle tge truth?
No stereotypes there! A Chinese dry cleaner!
I'd like them to be forced to hire what they support. Oh, you support BLM, then you need to have at least 13% of your workforce as African American, since 13% of America's make up is African American right? Oh you don't? Then you're not really supporting the cause are you?
The only thing that caught my eye on a commercial in the past year was two men kissing. I only caught it in passing and didn't really want to see it. my opinion is do it at home all you want but I don't care to see it.
Brett Kavanaugh’s diversity of hiring law clerks is outstanding- one of the best - more than double Ginsberg’s. He actively encourages black law student to apply and has hired the most minorities - including African Americans
But Ginsberg wanted to legislate Affirmative Action from the bench (not the role of a SC justice) and force hiring quotas on private employers ).
Perhaps the lamest example that I saw recently was a promotional email for an industry conference. The ad included a picture of a young, cute black girl with big, puffed out hair. When I scrolled down to look at the speakers it was three white women in their 40s/50s.
I'm curious as to why some think inclusivity and diversity are bad though
The real question is will this bring about the "equity" that the woke corporations say they want to influence? Does racial harmony and gender harmony get achieved if you constantly portray whites and men like losers and excessively overrepresent minorities? Is the "turnabout is fair play" argument (i.e. getting revenge from the 1950s) really the best approach?
If the goal really was racial/gender harmony, then one would think the right approach would be to represent people more or less proportionally and not portray certain groups (whites/men) as the butt of every joke.
The black supremacy approach being used by the woke corporations could backfire.
Someone better jump on their high horse and post about this awful lack of diversity.
If Madison Avenue is any barometer, America's future will be that of South Africa.

Suppose most of your customers have brown eyes, but 13 percent have blue? Do you say "I'll have a blued and a brown eyed person in my ads to show I appreciate all my customers"? Or "13 percent isn't a lot, fuck them, I don't really need their money"?
Without black people, we'd all be fucking singing along with Mitch Miller. They are featured in many ads because they punch above their weight in contributing to popular artistic culture and fashion.
And, although overt minstrel shows are dead, the concept is still subtle present.
I mostly don't care about this because the demographics of the ads I'm already not watching do not affect me.
But I also don't care because any ad director in their job for over 2 years has had their soul completely replaced with cynicism and bitterness.
