re: What is the basis/benefit for all of these advertisers having interracial couples

I get the whole "Devil's Advocate" role -- but surely you can weigh in with your own position on corporate advertisers and their MO for shopping "muh-Diversitah" ahead of product placement and promotion.

I generally favor letting the market worry about that for me.

Personally, I don't give a shite what's in a commercial. I rarely watch them, and view them as an obstacle to watching a game and a waste of my time.

My primary interest here is determining why this bothers some of you so much, and what exactly you think should be done about it.

Pretty tricky. Are you a Millennial?

I was born in the early 80s. By some definitions, I'm the oldest of the Millennials. Some consider me a young Gen X. I don't particularly care.

Anyway, how do we work this out so you're happy with the racial distribution in the commercials you see when you're watching your stories?

Stop. You're triggering me.

---

That isn't the goal, but I'm never sad to hear that I have another fan.

Ok, that helps. Thanks.

I've posted an Exit Poll Thread Questionnaire (see above)

Pushing the agenda, at all cost

Attracts more than one demographic if you buy the theory that people are more likely to buy a product from someone who "looks like me" (and research has shown it to be - to an extent - true)

---

That reasoning is complete bullshite.

If you wanted to "attract people that look like me"...
Then the largest margin would be whites of German backgrounds and Hispanic with Mexican backgrounds.

You ain't advertising to 6% if you even go by your logic. This is a sociology experiment in real time, not targeted advertising.

I'm also in tune with The Plot -- more so than you since I'm not immersed in a Rookie-Bubble of a reality OR Millennial who's been jack-hammered his/her entire life by agenda-driven social re-engineering.

---

Yawn. If that were true of me, I'd be a rampant leftist who hates Trump, not a black millennial who DOESN'T view "white supremacy" as some bogeyman Try again, Libby.

One HUGE metric.

Nah. I already laid out how you're trying to compare apples to oranges. You wanna stand over there in your wrongness and be wrong? Your prerogative. I'm not gonna stop you

quote:

There is ZERO problem with IR couples on Tee-Bee.

Then calm your shrill arse down, mijo.

quote:

The problem is the focus, frequency, and messaging beyond

---

Lol. Mixed couples. The horror.

quote:

a portrayal agenda to marginalize and ridicule the White Straight Male demo.

---

Lmao. One of my younger sisters is a bi, left of center black woman.

She's married to a white dude whom she holds in high regard, not ridicule. Try again, Libby.

HUH??

Ok, kudos for passing English III.

Did I stutter? Which of these words below threw you for a loop, bruv? This is how I talk, and it's not difficult to keep up with it, either:

quote:

---

Due to simple biology, a cap on their total population (and, thus, influence, once their relatively nascent public niche in society is well and truly normalized).

---

None of what you underlined is difficult to comprehend.

quote:

---

It has been "advertising" a LIFESTYLE.

---

Heh. If you knew the more nuanced meaning of that term, you'd clutch your pearls even harder

quote:

---

both are promoted to a disproportionate degree

---

Blah blah blah muh proportions. You just said you had no problem with quotas, but you clearly WANT a cap on IR couples in ads. So tell me what that number should be, IYHO.

I don't know, but it's really strange.

I personally know of only two interracial couples and I know thousands of people.

quote:

---

We shouldn't be worrying about what the numbers are.

---

Then why are you? All this talk of "disproportionate," clearly there's some metric by which you wish to curtail such. What is it?

quote:

---

Progressives want higher and higher numbers.

---

When it comes to people who don't view skin color as a mitigating metric, numbers going up or down shouldn't matter in the slightest, tbh.

quote:

---

Conservatives are getting called out for noticing what the progressives are doing.

---

This isn't really a conservative/progressive thing, much as you'd like it to be. Like I mentioned earlier, go on "black Twitter" and start championing interracial couples in ads, and you'll get a very different reaction than you'd expect from such "progressives."

Patting themselves on the back. I don't think there is anyway that it helps their advertising effectiveness.
I guess it allows them to walk the line between having all whites or all blacks in an ad.
I guess they think they will p!ss people off if they have all one race in their ads.

I find it hilarious that ITT everyone is debating as to why, or even if (LOL), there has been a tidal wave of interracial, racially substituted, and homosexual focal points in adverts in the last two years. AS IF, advertisers just had an epiphany on what "works" to sell people their products. These companies have been working in the dark arts of persuasion in our consumer society for decades and have it down to a ridiculous science. They didn't just all figure out that these tactics would make more money, they would have already done it if it made more money, they've all been told to do it.

It's a small part of Psy-ops to validate all the marxist bullshite of the 2020 revolution unfolded against us. All of us.
