I Almost Never Watch TV, But I Briefly Had the Set On & Watched An Apple Commercial....

I had the sound turned off, because I was working on something else. Besides, you can actually detect more (sans sound) that way with regards to certain types of programming.
Anyway, the Apple commercial was a classic example of how we are being brainwashed by Corporate America. The commerical featured perhaps 18 people total. Out of the 18 or so people in the commercial, THERE WAS ONLY ONE WHITE MALE. White males still make up approximately 1/3rd of the population of this country. But this commercial only had one white male out of approximately 18 people total? Is there anybody here stupid enough to think that wasn't by design?
I know this isn't new, but I really think we need to highlight the war on 1) white people in general, and 2) white males in particular. For those of you who watch more conventional television than we do, do not fall victim to the "bullfrog effect" and end up being conned into falsely thinking there is nothing to see here. If you are straight, conservative white person then Dems/Big Tech/Corporate & Corporate Media are waging war against you. Multiply the intensity of that war 10-fold if you are a white male.
PS - And do not let the phony, agenda-driven concept of political correctness intimidate you into compromising on what you know is right. We are never going to restore this country to greatness by caving into these bastards the way Drew Brees did.

Very common in commercials, and it’s been going on for a long time. They go out of their way to be diverse, probably for fear of backlash.
The only thing white males are good for in ads is to play the witless goofy father figure so that the female character can rescue him from his stupidity.

The ad council is pumping out interracial and homosexual marriage. I’m not personally offended, but it’s clearly being shoved down my throat, which I do NOT appreciate

If somebody had shown me this commercial only 10 or so years ago and asked me which country the ad originated from, I would've probably said "India, although I didn't realize there were so many black people living in that country."
I honestly wonder what percentage of the American population under the age of 30 would be SHOCKED if they knew that blacks only make up 13% of the total population? And Indians far, far less than that?
You wouldn't know the truth by watching that Apple commercial.

I think a company could get a lot of pub going against this tired trope.

It’s almost as if a white nuclear family is taboo for some reason.
See you in the camps.

Not as off based percentage-wise as opposed to burglar alarm commercials.

I don't often watch TV, and when I do, it's a SJW indoctrination. 
SO FAKE
Liberal white males have done their part to bring down the rest of you:

According to TV, blacks are the only people buying car insurance.

Jake From State Farm somehow turned into a black guy.

Cracks me up!

And Apple, of course, does not really mean any of it. Apple executive profiles have seventeen images of positions in the company.
12 of the 17 appear to be white males.
3 of the 17 appear to be white females.
1 of the 17 appears to be a white male, but has the name "Khan", so I'll go with Middle East.
1 of the 17 appears to be an Asian female.

My wife showed me a facebook post from an Indian girl she knows. This girl was adopted into a wealthy white family, went to private school and to an expensive private college, her white husband wrote her a letter after Biden was inaugurated about "how he will never understand the pain she had to deal with the past 4 years being a person of color. and he apologized on behalf of white males every where for putting Trump in", she posted it on FB and recieved a flood of emotional apology posts.
All I could think about is the white kids growing up in eastern KY broke as f*ck having to listen to this privilege b*tch's sob story.

I saw a life cereal commercial earlier. It had a white dad with a white daughter in it. First commercial I have seen in a while that had no minorities in it.
You see more commercials with minority couples or interracial couples than you do white couples these days

Two options:
Option 1: One of these days minorities will realize they are being pandered to by politicians and marketing teams. Once they wake up the Republic can be saved. (I give this about a 5% chance)
Option 2: Politicians and marketing teams continue to profit off of shortsighted and stupid minority groups until the whole goddamn system runs off a cliff. Then the Republic can be rebuilt. (I’ll let you do the math here)
Idgaf if it gets me banned or on a list, but pandering to irresponsible and statistically insignificant minority groups will eventually cause the collapse of the American way of life.

Or......is it possible they are simply advertising to their targeted consumer groups?

Yes the main rule is the interracial couples and recently a flood of white male, black female couples. Then of course a bit of a rush of gay dudes as well. So transparent that an agenda is being pushed. It’s not edgy any more it’s just phony and stupid.

Lulz, you sound triggered. You know how often I saw 90s/aughts truck, Chevy Ford etc, commercials that said American made and proud, AND EVERYONE was white? Would it have been ok to complain that it was saying Americans can only be white? By your complaint theory, yes I could have.

Oh, absolutely. They're the epitome of hypocrisy. It's the same way with these Hollywood phonies like Rob Reiner. They officially favor ever left-wing ideal out there, from open borders to 1960-level tax rates. Yet, they live in gated communities (many have walls), and you can bet your bottom-dollar that any suffocating new tax policies will have loopholes for them. Just like Congress and labor unions were exempt from Obamacare (If Obamacare was so great, why were there so many exemptions?).
