Maybe it has something to do with mixed raced couples actually being a thing and they would rather not risk alienating those groups of folks. But I’ve never watched Mad Men so...

Not to get outdone, Amazon just had a bi-racial couple, only this time it was a black male/ midget white girl! ?



Haha, I saw that commercial a couple of days ago. My first thought? "Well, that will definitely be another thread on the OT."

I saw one few months ago.
Black dude in his pajamas yawning and shite with this little kid at breakfast table.
White mom all dressed up for work.

Cheerios commercial

I just laughed out loud.

In Bawcomville the mixed race couples don’t look like that..


I guess I forget that to a lot of the rednecks on this site a mixed marriage means a marriage between Baptist and a Methodist.

I feel like I see more posts about this on the OT than actual interracial commercials.

Then again, it's 2020, and I never watch commercials nowadays so who knows.

I saw a commercial last night that had 2 black gay guys and a transgender guy sitting at a table.

And then it was like eat Ritz crackers. I was thinking wtf does this have to do with crackers

The commercial with the wee girl and black man does not count. He is clearly a sausage jockey, voiding their ability to be a real couple.

I posted it in the other thread. Had to go pull it out of the safe to look. But here you go

It's a Western Field 807a-ech from the 60s. I had to go grab it to look. It's one of a few old guns that I have from my grandfather. It's a bolt action and the bolt seems seized. I'm sure it's a simple fix but I have a few other 22s and haven't spent more than 10 minutes looking at it. .

I would guess by the end of 2021 you won't see any white people in commercials.

Supposedly the most common type is white man/oriental woman.

how many commercials show that? (I don't watch tv)

any message the commercial initially intended wasted


Do you have any idea how often this scenario is mentioned on this board along with the company’s name? It’s very smart marketing. People can’t stop talking about it

The question is why is it bothering you, that you gotta make a thread about it?

He has a right to be racist.

And we have a right to judge him.

I'm not really one to get all upset about that kind of thing but it just seemed like total pandering.
