Re: Why is nearly every commercial now interracial?
I'm an ad guy. I make TV commercials in NYC. You're right, you're seeing a lot of this. There are two reasons for it:

1) Mixed race couples are the fastest growing demographic group. Not just black and white, but also white/Asian, white/Hispanic. It's about $$$, and moving the merchandise. It's direct targeted appeal to them from advertiser.

2) It's also a defensive move on the part of the advertister against the twitter outrage mobs. If you did white/white or black/black (or all white) they'd come after you for tokenism, or racism. (Such is life today. Some preening idiot is always going to find something to get outraged about) So you eliminate one source of potential outrage by mixing things up. And, you save production/talent money: A black/white couple (one black actor, one white actor) saves you money in talent costs. You cover the bases with a mixed race couple, and keep your talent costs down, while avoiding the outrage crowd.

No product manager wants the call from his/her boss about the Twitter mob. This is how you avoid it, and look virtuous doing it.

But ultimately, it's all about $$$$$.

how many Js where you work? are you one? white women and black males are never couples so your first premise is a lie
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77527369


Less than 25%. I'm not one. And what's driving it are brand managers at the product companies -- most of whom aren't J's either. They're looking at the #'s and insisting on the casting.

So they are ok with pissing off the majority of their customer base to satisfy some new “growth market” of mixed couples? Yeah sure.

Not true. And even if it were, they're only casting what's already in the script, and comes from the ad agency, at the direction of the advertiser. Casting agents are only executing and delivering on what's already in the script.

Re: Why is nearly every commercial now interracial?
I blame a lot of race mixing and destruction of beautiful white heritage on white men! White men were in control, they owned everything! They were the superior race and for good reasons but when white women,good & beautiful and talented and strong lineage heritage white women began to have careers ( different from work as white women always worked! Cook, sew, knit, housecleaning, child rearing, plus community work & part time job somewhere) but a Career? But share chores? The white man abandoned strong & talented good stock white women and married and had babies with lower class women, Asian women, Ukrainian women,latino women, etc. This is where the BREAKDOWN began. So I blame the white man for what followed.lower IQ children,less self-sufficient children, religious breakdown, moral breakdown, lack of knowledge/ DNA transfer. So white men blame yourselves for abandoning your OWN KIND because you thought marrying lesser would keep you in control instead you lost control. Maybe its not too late to find a beautiful white girl of good stock to have lots of babies with and forget about "career" being an obstacle as it all works out

I hear you. We deal with lots of Social Justice Warriors on the client end. Look at that awful Gillette commercial. They don't give a damn about alienating 1/2 the country, because they live the bubble that looks down on those people and writes them off. And they get applauded by their fellow travelers for being so virtuous. Even the cratering sales of Gillette after that awful commercial didn't break through the bubble. They said it was because of (no pun intended) the growth of the bearded crowd, and things like $ shave club. They refused to believe - or even entertain the idea - that 1/2 of America suddenly hated Gillette because of the commercial.

Re: Why is nearly every commercial now interracial?
HERE IS THE ANSWER.

It's directly driven by WHO is making the creative decisions. Trust me on this. I am a creative director.

The film/advertising/media industry fancies itself as SO hip--so far out ahead of the neanderthals in the marketplace, they decide the reality all of us must drink in.

Here's HOW it works.

A company contracts with an agency to create an advertising campaign.

Household name Fortune 500 companies spend a lot on advertising.

The agency's hipster Creative Director (many times with a ridiculously inflated rep in the ad industry) puts together a concept to sell product--MAKING SURE TO HORSESHOE in politically progressive casting into it ( racially mixed couples is a very common one lately).

Then, with great *highly visible* ad pitch fanfare, during a choreographed, glossy luncheon in the corporate boardroom-- they present this SO CHIC contemporary creative treatment to the clients in full view of division directors, company execs, corporate officers etc---whoever might be in the orbit of this new campaign to drive revenue and brand.

ONCE THE AGENCY HAS PRESENTED THE WHITE DAD, BLACK MOM---BLACK DUDE, WHITE GIRLFRIEND--RACIALLY MIXED KIDS ETC--as the cast to depict the product scenarios they are launching....

....NO ONE in these companies would ever dream of raising a questioning peep about the racial mix.

Because they KNOW, if they do---someone at the agency will alert the leftist media that such and such well known brand does not want to show racially mixed families or couples.

There goes their brand reputation and stock price.

They are being systematically blackmailed.

Trust me on this. I've been in the middle of it.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69236336


Sounds about right. Best thing for a viewer to do if they don't like it is to #walkaway.

Even that won't cause immediate change, because it's still forbidden to speak up about these things, and there is an expectation you'll take a financial loss to support "values".

But gradually and if done persistently it will apply pressure and cause pain within their ranks. Totally legally and with no risk to you.

 Quoting: Human Garbage


Makes me think of flyers posted anonymously in public a few days ago in a small New England town containing the words, "Islam is right about women."

Liberals weren't sure the message offended them because it meant Sharia Law treated women as chattel or that it offended them because it pointed out the nature of Mohammed's religion.

This is the kind of idiocy - and willful or inadvertent inhumanity - you get when political principles rest on a bed of mindless liberal feelings instead of honesty, rationality, ethics and compassion.

That's why people need to finally understand - and be fearful of - the dark side of human nature embedded in leftist compulsions.

1. TPTB pushing their brown agenda to establish their future communist agenda, (they call it 'socialism') They are also creating a new race of sorts...they like to think they created man.

2. To eliminate the white man, because for whatever reason, it seems the parent(s) of interracial children claim them as the minority race instead of caucasian. Maybe they know they'll have an advantage over others for doing so?
This will also allow them to establish their socialist/communist rule, as most minorities seem to think being a slave to the government is a good thing.

Well yeah, but the lowly product manager is likely very CYA when it comes to something as high profile as positioning the brand in the marketplace in front of hundreds of millions of eyeballs---its the nature of the corporate world. Product would have to be pretty darn bold to risk being tagged by the agency as the one that put the kibosh on the racial thing....and then THAT bit of info bubbles up through the organization.

And notice how even in this thread, among many commentators, the liberalism/leftism of most of the people responsible for today's cultural, political lunacy is not mentioned or pointed out as a major culprit. Instead the subject of the race and gender of one another dominates many messages.

Too many people treat the subject of their own and other's ideology as akin to talking about bad breath or body odor.

You're absolutely right -- but I'd add that the product manager is always in on it. It doesn't get to the board meeting before it goes through - and gets the approval - of the product manager.
 Quoting: First time poster 76943588


Well yeah, but the lowly product manager is likely very CYA when it comes to something as high profile as positioning the brand in the marketplace in front of hundreds of millions of eyeballs---its the nature of the corporate world. Product would have to be pretty darn bold to risk being tagged by the agency as the one that put the kibosh on the racial thing....and then THAT bit of info bubbles up through the organization. Career path decimated.

We actually agree - except on the power of the "lowly" product manager. In a company like P&G -- with literally hundreds of brands - I've found the brand product manager to be an idiot 32 year year old who buys into this completely. And when the over-rated creative director makes the first presentation to her, she buys into into the BS completely, as it reinforces her world view. They're both so smart! They're both so hip!! And they both present it to the higher ups representing themselves as experts in our current world. (And that's where all that other stuff you pointed out so correctly fits in: Nobody higher up - no adult - is going to say no, for fear of the blowback.

Re: Why is nearly every commercial now interracial?
HERE IS THE ANSWER.

It's directly driven by WHO is making the creative decisions. Trust me on this. I am a creative director.

The film/advertising/media industry fancies itself as SO hip--so far out ahead of the neanderthals in the marketplace, they decide the reality all of us must drink in.

Here's HOW it works.

A company contracts with an agency to create an advertising campaign.

Household name Fortune 500 companies spend a lot on advertising.

The agency's hipster Creative Director (many times with a ridiculously inflated rep in the ad industry) puts together a concept to sell product--MAKING SURE TO HORSESHOE in politically progressive casting into it ( racially mixed couples is a very common one lately).

Then, with great *highly visible* ad pitch fanfare, during a choreographed, glossy luncheon in the corporate boardroom-- they present this SO CHIC contemporary creative treatment to the clients in full view of division directors, company execs, corporate officers etc---whoever might be in the orbit of this new campaign to drive revenue and brand.

ONCE THE AGENCY HAS PRESENTED THE WHITE DAD, BLACK MOM---BLACK DUDE, WHITE GIRLFRIEND--RACIALLY MIXED KIDS ETC--as the cast to depict the product scenarios they are launching....

....NO ONE in these companies would ever dream of raising a questioning peep about the racial mix.

Because they KNOW, if they do---someone at the agency will alert the leftist media that such and such well known brand does not want to show racially mixed families or couples.

There goes their brand reputation and stock price.

They are being systematically blackmailed.

Trust me on this. I've been in the middle of it.

I can totally believe this. The guy who points it out will get shit canned and the company will be "outed" over it. Like that other thing in Europe,you are not allowed to say it.

Re: Why is nearly every commercial now interracial?
I am watching a drama about just before WW2.

There was a shot / picture where there was a black woman.

It was either in Germany or Poland .

Hitler hated black people so I guess it is Poland .

No blacks in Poland then .

Typical propaganda .

It was Poland

I despair of our TV producers .It is beyond hopeless and idiotic .

Did you know the EU are taking over our producers when we leave the EU .

Joke .
