I've seen it at times on tv, but you're right, it's much more common IRL which makes my point stronger. I certainly don't have a problem with people marrying/dating within the same demographic, but the black-white combo seems to be the primary target in these threads.

I learned from adverts that at least 50% of all hetero couples are mixed ethnicity.

The town I live in must be an anomaly.

I agree with you on that.

Frankly, in big cities and on the coast (and in the U.S. military), interracial couples (BM/WF) are extremely common as well. I definitely see that one pushed more in advertising. In fact, when I see the rare WM/BF (which, of course, exists in real life, but is much, much less common), I tend to comment to Mrs. Midnight something to the effect of - "Swirl the other way? You don't see that every day. Good for them."

I don't have as much heartburn with that one as I do with the alarm ads with universally whiter-than-sour-cream burglars.

Everything in commercials is the exact polar opposite of reality.

It's like they intentionally invert the race/gender of everyone involved from the supposed real world counterparts.

Okay, I don't get this. Your photo only has pictures of black men and white women. Frankly, this seems to be the only combination that riles people up (on both sides) and I don't understand why.


Aint this the truth, white man black woman is pretty meh, black women despise when black upper crust males choose white women ( this happens a lot) and white guys hate any additional competition its in our DNA.

That’s not why.

“ A 2015 study examined the outcomes of women that have children with black men, the results were staggering. Currently, 70% of black children are born out of wedlock, however when the mother is white and the father black, the rate jumps to 97%. 98% of white mothers studied reported the father does not support their children financially, 97% report the father is not in the child’s life, and 97% of the women have used welfare to help support themselves and their children. Only 10% of women that have children with black men out of wedlock end up marrying. The vast majority of white women that have children with black men live far below the poverty line”

“2013 study of intimate partner violence in relationships, surveyed nearly ten-thousand people, the authors hypothesized that interracial couples would experience higher levels of violence compared to intra-racial relationships. They found that compared to white relationships, both black couples and interracial couples experience statistically significant higher levels of relationship violence. Intimate partner violence is classified as threats, physical, or emotional violence between two people in a committed relationship. The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control estimates that relationship violence costs around $4.1 billion a year in medical and mental health care costs“

You think that picture-perfect McDonald’s Big Mac, with its oozing cheese and fresh, overflowing toppings, is an accurate depiction of reality? Or those OT 10’s gobbling down a Hardee’s triple bypass double meat grease bomb burger? You think that’s “depicting reality”? Don’t see anyone here complaining about that type of misrepresentation though.


You aren’t complaining about racial diversity in ads because of “reality”. It’s because you’ve spent the last 40 years of your life being a part of the demographic group that has been exclusively targeted by advertisers. Now other demographics are gaining comparable purchasing power, and advertisers are starting to target them rather than you, and for whatever reason you find that threatening.

It’s really quite pitiful. There are MUCH better targets for your anger than mixed couples on TV.

I think most would be more accepting of black men if more were like TBird and BHP than Jerome or Tyrone in dating their daughters.

There are just as many (if not more) commercials with white guys and Asian women or white women and Asian guys. People don't seem to care that much about those.

Help me understand


Not really -

BUT - if they are interested in having TV ads portray real life, then all the "beach vacation' ads ought to portray cellulose women with belly hangovers instead of models with tiny bikinis.

Or - black men with ugly fat white women = 90& of what I actually see in real life.

Or - fat black women sitting on their asses concentrating on their fingernail art and tit tattoos rather than thin black women models directing billion dollar corporations.

and absolutely relate to the ACTUAL demographics in any 'crime-related' ad.

Otherwise this is all just another attempt to 'normalize' a fictitious narrative to make it difficult to address any actual problems in society.

Uh, the FCC doesn't deal with pictures on a wall or billboard but they do file suits against misrepresentations on TV/radio.

They sued Campbell's soup for trying to make the soup look chunkier by placing marbles in the bottom of the bowl.

They sued Miller Beer for using motor oil and soap poured into a frosty mug instead of actual beer because the former looks better under hot lights.

AgitProp. They are telling you the Progressive ideal and trying to make you feel bad about your respect for convention.

1.) People do complain about that.
2.) "I'm going to overhype my product" is totally different form "I'm going to play with demographics to create 'positive' social change."

True, its more than just representing reality. I don't like social engineering. Especially when its from companies that, on the one hand, promote SJW issues and on the other hand has child slave factories overseas. Just calling bullshite bullshite.

No, its because of SJW bullshite. One of my favorite childhood movies was Blade. I can relate to other racial leads/commercials/songs/whatever. I just like thing to happen naturally, not to be forced. This feels forced.

This is what you think is behind this? :ohnoitsretarded:

I'm not angry, but since you went there I bet you are.

So you are saying black men don't have this issue? Especially when it's considered that black women are stepping up when they get with white men, and white women are considered stepping down when they get with black men.
