Anyone else all of a sudden pay attention to the people’s races in commercials?

I never, ever did this. Now I do every time and I can’t stop since racism has dominated every conversation in every facet of society.

I’d be curious to know the stats but I’m watching the Finals and the amount of black people and white people in commercials have to be 50/50.EDIT: whites are 60%, blacks are 13%, so I think that qualifies as over representation. There were a few commercials where I could literally predict the race. One commercial was a Sonic commercial with 4 black people. I wouldn’t have had a problem with this 10 years ago, but if you did all whites? Sonic would be bankrupt.

Blacks seem to be over represented and Asians are WAY under represented. Ironic because Asians are out performing all other minorities, even whites in some cases (which I’m fine with). Just wondering if anyone else noticed this.

Divide and conquer

It’s the point of the plan.

I note the number of asian-black combos, then it turns into looking at the rainbow representation minus whitey.

These foolish companies just remind me where not to spend my money with these new racist commercials.

Madison Avenue has discovered that there is a sizeable Black middle class out there and they are educated, law-abiding capitalists (something the news media has been trying to hide for years). When anyone tells you it's not about the money, believe me, it's always about the money.

Well, now that you are in tune you will notice the abundance of mixed race couples and bi-racial children. As well as same sex couples laying in bed discussing their insurance needs...

Taken out of Goebbels own book.

This country is inundated with a steady diet of propaganda and subversive messages that are intent on one thing and one thing only, and that’s to shape the minds of young Americans who they know damn well are moldable and quite easily given the breakdown in the American family that’s taken place over the years. They are these people’s parental figures, and what they say is taken to heart by young people.

It’s a game, and you aren’t a player. It’s been going on for many years now. It’s just now becoming so transparent that anyone with half a lick of sense can see it.

You realize blacks watch a lot more NBA than whites, so advertising will be heavier towards that demographic. But yes, you are correct.

Safe to assume these aren’t commercials showing looting or violent attacks on elderly Asians?

I’ve probably become somewhat ambivalent towards it in recent years and it’s more or less background noise now.

If I were new to the country though and watched TV ads? I guess I would probably conclude that around 60% of the population is black, 30% is gay, the only married couples are those of mixed race and if you do find a white guy he’s going to be either a goofy dolt or breaking into someone’s home.

None of the black females in those commercials are representative of the black female types I see around the city here. Think of the check out lines at WalMart. Whereas, almost all the white females with black males are 9-10's.

No, most of the time I tune commercials out. People are too consumed by race and identity politics nowadays, I'm not interested in contributing to that.

I started a few months ago with Hulu watching kids with lost. I don’t watch much TV but it was pretty unavoidable to see commercials with Hulu.

After a few weeks of keeping statistics it would appear that 50+% of our country is African American, Hispanic, or gay.

And almost half of marriages are interracial.

I sincerely DGAF about interracial marriage, but it’s over represented in commercials by about 3 fold.

What really pisses me off are the women placed in positions of authority in every single movie. As if estrogen isnt ruining the American way of life
