“Fansville” commercial with goofy white dad wearing pants that are too small for him to his family’s chagrin

Movie preview with alleged pedo island veteran Tom Hanks rescuing a young girl and keeping her safe from would be white male abusers

“Clarece”, a silence of the lambs spin-off, showing the “it puts the lotion on its skin” white guy stewing alone by himself with a prominent American flag in the background

I'm wondering how long it will be before the trans community will become outraged over the Buffalo Bill character "being portrayed as mentally disturbed because they are trans".

I'm amazed it's flitted about under the radar for this long.

I still don't understand the point of all the black/white couples in commercials. It is an absolute avalanche. To be clear, I don't have any problem with numerous representations of blacks in TV, but the commercial ratio of black/white couples has to be ab out 100 times the real-life occurrence.

due to rights ownership Clarice TV Show can not mention Buffalo Bill or Hannibal Lector

so Clarice will be like Det Benson on SVU with an FBI chick saving the day

"Billy's not a real transsexual. He thinks he is, he tries to be. He's tried to be a lot of things, I expect."

Nothing like a culture warrior anticipating his outrage and getting preemptively riled up. It's so unusual and interesting. lol

If you knew nothing of America and just watched commercials you'd swear the country was 75% black and the small # of white people that existed were all in interracial marriages.

Just pay atention to the next major batch of commercials you watch and remember that the country is 13% black and the number of interracial marriages is still very low.

I'ts not just race though, EVERYTHING in commercials is the opposite of there al world btw.

All the home invasions are committed by whites, all the financial analysts are black, all the scientists are women, etc. The husband is always a lunatic/moron and his wife is always the voice of reason.

Once you notice how utterly f'ing bizarre it is you can't notice it. It's the literal opposite of reality in everything.

It’s just marketing. Appealing to a wider range of people in order to sell your product. Not sure why so many people are having trouble with that concept.

Your naive if you think that's the reason. How is featuring minorities to insane levels going to help you sell the most? Pandering to the majority makes the most business sense.

There is a concerted effort to reduce white people in the media, as evidenced not only in commercials but the constant black washing of white characters across all the media.

I challenge everyone who reads this to start paying attention to the racial makeup of commercials contrasted to the actual real world demographics.

Haha. Should we put them in groups and some in the front of the bus and others in the back?

You joke, but some of the bullshite that’s happened lately seems to point at certain groups pushing for segregation again. Which is weird since those same groups opposed it for decades.

It's understandable when you realize that liberal progressives control almost every for of media and that their goal is to transform America into their liberal progressive Utopia.

It’s freaking insane in its conspicuous over representation.

Seventeen percent of all marriages are interracial. 1 out of 6 marriages. Is that very low?

Lol at Wikipedia. I'm sure the numbers have continued to go up since 2015. It must be horrible seeing people that don't look like you on the tv.

quote:

In 2015, 17% of all U.S. newlyweds had a spouse of a different race or ethnicity


quote:

More broadly, one-in-ten married people in 2015 – not just those who recently married – had a spouse of a different race or ethnicity.
