I feel this is an unfair stereotype which can shape attitudes, especially those in authority, and can influence police interactions with white folk in a negative way.

because white people are the only demographic that does not complain when things are racially biased against them.....

Figure it out yourself. It's easy if you think about it.

I've noticed this 1000 times too


Uber commercial with 3 dumbass white bank robbers.
Home security system commercial, some white dude wearing a fricking hoodie


It's the safe play id guess.
White people won't cry racism and no one will lose their job.

Black and Hispanic actors can't get booked. White privilege is real.

The same reason it's always white men who are portrayed as dumb, clueless, and clumsy while the brilliant black woman/man or white woman shows them the way.

Reality proves 9 times out of 10 it's completely the other way around, but we all know that pushing an agenda is far more important than reality.

Same reasons that white men are the butt of all jokes in commercials and any time a character needs to be seen as stupid. Same reason all women who appear as "smart" have on glasses. Same reason now you see more and more bi racial couples instead of same race couples in ads regardless of context. Same reason (but more subtle) you now see more and more gay couples in ads.

its all Politically correct. (bullshite.)
