re: Can we normalize movies, tv shows and commercials?

Straight, white folks are grossly underrepresented on commercials. We make up the majority of the population, but you'd never know it watching commercials.

Correction. They apologized.

Yep. Those AIDS drug commercials go out of their way to make sure the audience knows the actors did not get it from a blood transfusion.
Kids see everything. It’s been a long time since my kids were little, and this stuff was not around back then, but I have a 5 year old nephew that asks me interesting questions when I babysit him and we’re watching tv together.

Reddit has these QCare+ ads that keep popping up ….easily the most disgusting thing ever filmed for a gay ad.

Bingo
Hell most sex scenes and nudity in movies don't make sense anymore.

If there's one positive thing that's come from AI it's being able to instantly fact check racist losers

Do you notice in the Simplisafe commercials how the burglar is always white? How come? It be raciss if you make him black.

Sorry, I guess I just started to watch ads and commercials again so I notice it.
Hilarious.
Tv shows are great as well. A woman, most likely very dark in pigment, gets to be in charge in fairy tale land. The white dude is always the bad guy now.
I guess it makes the morons get some good feels before they step back into reality.

The white chicks never left the commercials, they just are all madly in love with Tyrone and sending his arse to Lowe’s
On a global scale, a relationship made up of a white man and a black woman is so small that it doesnt even register as an percentile option. Its statistically an 'other'.
Yet on every American TV show and tons of ads, its chances of being shown are among the highest percentages of all the possible couplings
When that happens, its called propaganda

It all started when they replaced Jake from State Farm. Black Jake can't carry White Jake's jock, even though White Jake was only on screen about 3 seconds. Still a helluva lot funnier than Black Jake.

I don't believe Grok on this one.

No. When that happens it's called normalization.

Then the Commercials wouldn't be a drinking game...
Count the rainbow boxes being represented....
Mystery Science Theater it?
.
"Who's kid are you? Don't steal my families cereal."
Only in Commercials do TV commercial people see themselves...

I’d be happy if they would just get rid of the HIV commercials… there are not that many people with fricking AIDS to where I see a HIV med advertisement at every commercial break
Medication commercials as a whole need to go.

Seems like it's better focused for doctors anyway.

I've have a black professional friend & he disagrees with you. He maintains that a "large majority of black males can't stand gay men." A white collar business professionaI . I'll take his word over yours. This was in context of discussing recent polling showing Pete Buttaplug in the lead for the Democrats as a presidential candidate.

They make the white guy weak and a pushover. Usually not attractive/overweight. I've noticed it for years. It is why Trump won.

It's funny you mention this today.
I watched, again, the movie "Bull Durham" last night on demand and the only black actor with a speaking part in the entire movie was portraying the former baseball player who owned the pool hall which Crash Davis (Kevin Costner) was in when he learned "Nuke" (Tim Robbins) was promoted to the Major League.
The black actor had about 2 minutes of screen time.
That occurred to me as I was watching this 1988 movie.

I work alongside hundreds of black people and the gay ones bother nobody. I'll take my hundreds over your one. It's very common. That includes "gay for the stay."
