Just because they now cast diverse people, why do they have to be fat and/or unattractive?

They can't all be serial killer/super hero threads.

It doesn't really bother me because it's laughable that they feel the need to have that when it's such a low percentage of the population, but I honestly haven't seen a full white family in a commercial in ages.

My slight irritation comes from the fact that the white guy in the commercials is always a bumbling idiot.

I don’t understand why 13% of the population is in 100% of the commercials and the majority in the commercial.

I agree. I hate the AT&T commercials with the baby murderer too.

Quite a few people, as evidenced by this recurring thread.

Well when 13% of the population now make up 80% of the people in commercials it does tend to raise a few eyebrows

To be fair, the few white guys in these commercials are probably very progressive so they don’t even have to act. They are bumbling idiots in real life.
