Off. It's not "just" the diversity they are promoting, it's the shove it down our throats.

far away. can't stand false propaganda in commercials.

according to commercials in America today, 85% of all couples are interracial.

it's nonsensical and agenda driven.

Commercials don't sway me one way or another. If your product is something I want, I'll buy it. The only thing a commercial does for me is inform me of a products existence.

That being said, I will never, ever, in my life, buy insurance from Liberty Mutual because I hate their commercials.

I'm normal so it's not something I really pay attention to or consider when considering a product.

They have been heavily pushing the commercial of the stupid overweight white guy & the black woman married couple who used to go out all the time to concerts but now he has turned into his older white father who loves mulch & home improvement now that they have bought the house. It is EXTREMELY rare for these 2 types of people(i'm talking specifically about the 2 people in the commercial) to actually be together. The majority of black/white relationships is black men/white women. Make no mistake, this is a full blown social agenda by the media & elites.

Depends, I usually get mildly annoyed but if it's a good product I won't care.

I honestly don't pay that much attention one way or another.

I think the only time it's ever truly stood out to me was the cheerios commercial with the interracial couple and the daughter. Personally I thought it was cute, but I knew people would lose their shite over it...

Other than that I've never felt there were too many white people on my TV or not enough black people or anything to that effect. It's just not that serious to me.

Just this black guy's opinion.

it just annoys me with the overly PC nature of the country at this point.

and generally makes me want to avoid the product.
I don't care what anyone does with their genitals and anus but I don't care to have the perversion presented as main-stream in the main-stream (or otherwise) media.

Why would this drive you away from buying a quality product? Genuinely curious.

Because you can tell it’s forced agenda and not a social norm. Minorities and the lgbt community are greatly over represented in commercials and tv shows.
