How many gay couples do you think there are in America? How many interracial? In what universe do either of those groups make up a third of the population?

It’s pervasive now. I have no idea why the need to over represent certain groups. It is nuts.

Little orphan Annie just had to be black.

WTF?

Then progstains will cry when you point it out.

I’m walking with you now. By “shopping locally”, I didn’t just means shop in the confines of your own town, but to patronize small businessmen wherever you may travel to shop.

Told my family the same thing today after watching Tv most of the day today. You would think the country is 75% black and the other 25% is gay. It’s sickening and one day I hope their illusion becomes the raging dumpster fire it is


And the rest of the country is just White Supremacists.

I grew up in a small town. Wouldn't trade it for anything. Everybody knew everybody and if you screwed up, your daddy knew about before you got home.

If it was not intentionally done to get attention of an agenda, then there would be plenty of commercials we could mention that were clever and noteworthy by their message about their product and not the obvious over-usage of minority groups to push a message of being woke.

Most reasoning for intentional inclusion of a group is because they are "under represented". In this case, maybe Kay is suggesting that they already know or would like at least 1/3 of their customers to be lesbian. I would call it the Subaru model.

Marketing 101? - know your audience. Have you ever seen a Geritol commercial on Peppa Pig?

1 interracial couple with white woman & black man

Why is that always the combo on TV?

There’s never a white male black female couple in a commercial

Exactly! In every one of these threads you have a couple of holier than thou high horse progs who claim they don’t see race in the ads and what not. The whole freaking industry making commercials does it for attention with intention..They want you to see their message of wokeness and go out of their way to do this but inevitably a few progs saunter up and claim they don’t notice this tactic the advertisers use. What a load of crap the progs spew. They see it too and then lie in these threads.

I guarantee you if minorities were underrepresented they’d be noticing and bitching about it. In ways that’s how all this came about, they put pressure on companies to go woke. In reality these companies care more about their woke message in most cases than their product message due to past and current pressure put upon them.

Actually there has been a recent push to show white guys with black ladies as couples. I’ve noticed this quite a bit of late.

You’re correct. These companies understand that this particular market must be pandered to if they want their dollars.

I am trying to do every bit of my shopping at locally owned businesses. We should really all come together on this.



I go out of my way to buy everything I can locally. If we learned anything from the last two years, it should be that corporate America is colluding with the federal gov’t to control everything we do. I’ll never spend another dime at WalMart, Home Depot, etc, etc.

What’s the issue? Well, when you watch broadcast television and most cable channels the programming and the advertising gives the false impression that +20% of society is LGBTQ…..XYZ. Another common theme, white males are frequently portrayed as the doofus in the programming and advertising.
