Consumerism.

Why should every commercial, TV show, film etc., have actors of only 1 single ethnicity?

You people act all hard against the rest of the world that you deem to be different than you but are sensitive & vulnerable to displays of human diversity.

How is wanting your children to look like you racist? Never heard a good explanation for that one.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72635779


Of course, its not.

And not all races are being asked to defend their pride in their heritage.

Just one is being targeted.

Maybe they can do a "mortgages for everyone" advert and have a racist couple moaning about the immigrants pushing the house prices up and the muslim family next door.

Could you imagine the horror on the libtards faces?
 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.

every organization needs a leader,especially a family.
there re two kinds of thinking, patriarchal and matriarchal. traditionally in most cultures women take the subservient role,though not always. the point is one of them is designated the leader who has final say and veto power. in our current state they are equals in decision mojgn processes, which mkes for continuous conflict without resolution.


in my experience male children raised in families dominated by women do very poorly generally speaking, not well adapted to the challenges of life.
islam is night about women. And what Islam thinks is wrong with women just happens to be what is destroying our culture and morality.
lets put it this way, you wouldn't want to be gold digger who fooled around on her husband and then sucked him dry in a divorce in a Muslim country

Progressivism/socialism/communism all force participation upon individuals. Capitalism does not force participation as it is based upon free association. A group of people can even live in their own socialist/communist community if they so chose within the capitalist system. Yes, an individual or socialist community must likely pay some property or possibly income tax but that is the cost to exercise their freedom and possible need for services (police/fire/public assistance) - because nothing is truly free.

The capitalist approach of trade between individuals replaces the natural approach which is domination (strong dominating the weak). The leftist view is an attempt to dominate by mob rule and often leads to strongman dictatorship (Stalin, Mao, etc.). So by characteristics the nature of capitalism is civilized voluntary interaction, while leftism is uncivilized, forced subjugation.

It's the natural coarse of things. Blacks have more testosterone and women don't have a need to "bread winners" any more, so the sexier guys should be promoted.

Also white men deserve it. They're all out of shape and disgusting, yet they've oppressed so many for so many years. Keep whining it won't get you anywhere, you're fighting a force of nature.

Its simple.. People pay attentionn to advertising when thenads resonate with a demographic.

Black and white spouse gets multipke demographics:

Asian or latino Americans
Multi-cultural Americans..

And.. Even anti multiculturalists like yourself. The point if the ad is to get you to pay attention.

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


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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76884150


Point taken. True. The product mgr gets a double bonus---feeling 'on the IN' with edgy cool Madison Ave 'think' and advancing within her stodgy corporate culture such a hip progressive, now sensibility--another embedded useful idiot puppet.

But I still believe, even a rare PM with fearless, independent thought would think long and hard before touching this stuff with a 10 foot pole.

As a pragmatist that looks at real life, I actually HAVE raised questions in internal agency meetings when casting got ridiculously out of balance with the buying demographic we were targeting.
Like every ad was casting 50% blacks when the campaign was a product with a lifestyle profile that statistically was supported by 80% middle-America whites.

I don't watch TV lately. What little I do, I've noticed it everywhere. TV. Ads in newspapers, magazines, public stuff (like the "get your flu shot here" kinda bs at the pharmacy). It disgusts me. Any real-life "couple" I see like that, I give the female the stink eye.

You are talking about human nature though.

Capitalism is just a system or method of interaction. It is at root a voluntary method of trade rather than forced subjugation.

Capitalism must have very strict ethical/moral/legal consequences for breaches in behavior. The best approach to root out bad human behavior is using ethical boards to revoke licenses and/or participation.

The real problem with capitalism is that people are at root basically bad (weak and prone to be corrupted). So there must be very strict punishment for those who sway.

Singapore is a very capitalist country with the highest per capita income and they literally whip someone's ass in public for wrongdoing.

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 $$$$$.

 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.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45840829



Point of ads is to capture your attention. It's win-win for them because as others have noted it saves them money so they don't have to do Target as for each demographic, it captures the multiculturalist, those are actually in mixed-race relationships and also captures use the anti multiculturalist oh, because they just need to get your attention. Even if you're outraged you are paying attention to the ad.
