People on this very board complained about an interracial couple in a commercial.

I don't think the complaint was "people shouldn't marry outside their races." It was more about the pervasive use of interracial couples as a cheap way to virtue signal.

Interestingly, I think that phenomenon has given way in the last few months. I don't think the corporate advertising goons have quite wrapped their heads around whether BLM types might even consider the interracial couple offensive. They may want to see 100% black couples instead, not some nerdy white or asian dude with a black chick.
