It's interesting.

I have noticed it everywhere as well.

However, African Americans do tend to spend their money rather than save it. For this reason, many advertisers target them when selling certain items.

Perhaps they are trying to cover their bases. This isn't the only reason, but it is one. Yes the virtue signaling is up a well.

Because they feel the need to be PC but know that a white woman with black man not only irritates some white people but also black women HATE it.

So this version is “least offensive”

Come on, guys, why do you talk so much about the dominant discourse being pushed out by the popular media?

Blacks are less than 10% of the American population with some states having almost zero in them. Media advertising would have you think that the country is demographically proportional to Montgomery Alabama.

It's not the clear picture


13% of the population, 90% of the noise.

Squeaky wheel

I haven't really been counting but I've noticed a similar trend. You're right, the white man typically doesn't marry the black woman. The white men I've known that have, really struggled with dating white women. These sponsors must feel like they have to put blacks and whites together otherwise BLM groups will cry racism if they don't. Enough white girls have already established they like the black so maybe they are going for a trend reverse of that.

When I was growing up, it would have been extremely uncomfortable for my dad or grandparents and I to be watching TV and that crap pop up on a commerical.

The most truthful commercial on TV is the geico sign spinner hipster moron guy that sleeps on his couch with his sign and instead of in his bed with his wife and constantly compliments his sign and himself instead of his wife.

It is used for conditioning people into accepting interracial marriage. First it was Black guy white women now we have the strong black women with the weak white guy. I really like the car commercial with the black women driving the family car. She needs a minute once they get to the camp site.

I have seen more of these commercials than ads featuring a heterogenous couple in terms of race. The issue is that black wife, white husband is statistically the rarest type of pairing, so I am wondering why marketing/advertising feels the need to over inflate it.

Why do you think this is?



This one is super easy. Companies market and advertise products to sell more products. The teams and teams of people who work for these organizations have run the numbers and it's come back that they are projected to make $0.01 more doing so, so they do. It's 2021, you'd be surprised how few people get triggered by this kinda thing nowadays.

I’m pretty sure the vast majority of people accepted interracial marriages a long time ago. No one really gives a shite who you marry.

This is nothing but social conditioning and brain washing by the media.

Marketing is all about making you feel like your current reality is abnormal and then through procurement of Product X you can be like every one else!

So of course they want to subliminally make you think that your typical intraracial relationship is wrong so that you’ll be inspired to go get what they are selling in order to compensate.

Satisfied people don’t buy.
