Do white people exist in commercials anymore?

Because they're targeting other ethnicities to buy there products. Studies have shown that other ethnicities spend money too. Stop trying to make it more complicated than what it is.

 

Other ethnicities might make up the majority of customers, but it's still probably true that white people are spending more than half the money on those products being advertised. So it is a little bit complicated.

 

One issue, which a lot of Americans may not realize, is that many of these commercials are being produced in the county of Los Angeles. A huge demographic and racial change has taken place in that area in recent years, and white people now make up a minority of the younger persons under the age of 40.

There are also an excess of Black people (relative to other races) attempting to get jobs as actors in advertisements (in that area). It's not really a reliable career.

I have no doubt that the advertising executives are intentionally seeking to promote "diversity" and show non-whites in their commercials and movies, but the causes are not only limited to the hiring side.

 

Does it matter?

Advertisers make ads to sell to their target audience.

Inclusion and diversity in advertising and marketing in the United States – statistics & facts
Representation of multiple ethnicities, genders, and identities in advertising and marketing campaigns has become a key component of brands' strategies in the United States throughout the past decades. Most American consumers expect companies to expand their cultural repertoire and include more voices in their communications. Younger people are even more demanding in that regard. As of spring 2023, 70 percent of adult Gen Zers (born between 1997 and the mid-2000s) and 75 percent of millennials (1981-1996) thought brands with a large target audience should promote diversity and inclusion. Among Gen Xers (1965-1980) and baby boomers (1946-1964), the share fell behind two-thirds.
Perhaps paradoxically, the quest for diversity intertwines with the pursuit of relatability. According to the same study, two out of three U.S. adults favored a brand hiring a spokesperson who looked like them. This preference oscillated depending on the respondents' backgrounds. Among self-identifying white and Hispanic consumers, the share was roughly the same as the average. But three out of four Black interviewees appreciated spokespeople similar to them. This significantly higher favorability rate indicates that ads in the U.S. still have a long way to go in depicting and giving a platform to minorities.

OK with it?
Why does it matter or why is it a concern?

Ads are done to attract the attention of their consumers.
Maybe today, most people don't care about skin color if they are not boomers?

 

frankly I don't care if they are yellow, brown, banana, white, etc... I care more about the message and what the companies are doing with their income.

 

No — I asked you why are same sex couples an “agenda”?
Are interracial couples an agenda?
What about white people in commercials?

 

Well, they can't use flaming alphabet types anymore since Mulvaney blew up "Woke" all by is little elf self.
So who is left? American Indians? Asians? Mexicans? Russkies, Ukrainians, "other'ins"? Hell, they have already re established their countries within the USA.
They only one's left standing are the Fetterman look a likes at McDonalds. All pale and pink, beards and baldies, with younger versions dressed in black. How boring... "Gimme any color as long it is black".

So now they are sending TV watching white people commercials reminding them that they are soon going to be a minority, and a victim! Muh ha ha ha...
But honestly, I think they are trying to convince people that not every black person is a threat. I don't need a commercial to tell me that, but America is getting stupider by the day.
Maybe they think black people are the only people that still go to the store because whitey uses Amazon Fresh? Hell, I don't know. I have put many a case of water into the shopping cart of little old lady's of every ethnicity, because there is no one on the floor the help anyone anymore.
And the gay's are now "probably gay" and not so in your face. More like the reality of normal gay people in daily life.

 

No its not, after decades of blacks being put on the back of the bus I have no problem with them cutting ahead to the front.

 

Whites had no problem when they were at the top, now that its being reversed all of sudden there's a problem.

 

For whatever reason it virtue signals demonstrate progressiveness. And once everyone in the country has their fill with same sex couples that’s when the stage will be set to start using the goofballs that come after LGB.

As for interracial couples, I was married to a Puerto Rican woman for 12 years and I didn’t need to learn how to do it by watching a commercial.

 

If you are asking this question, you have never seen a commercial before.

 

So the color of the guy in a commercial is whats deemed to be important in order sell a product? Do you buy anything because a white guy was in a commercial? Or a brown or yellow guy?

Do you know what’s strange? Latinos, Asians and even Muslims spend money and how many of them do you see in commercials?

Finally, if this country was as racist as the left wants us to believe, then all those millions and millions of racists would be boycotting products being hawked by black guys in commercials.

 

Why was it a problem originally? The minority felt repressed, right? So wouldn't that repressed feeling be returned the other way around? Also, yes. President loser's way of governing us by statistic does nothing but increase animosity for the entire nation.

 

Because there is no right to complain.

 

I didn't know there were still commercials! Do people still watch commercials?

 

I did respond to the content, as I always do, and you played victim, as you always do.

You were the one who just had to bring up the issue (to you) of seeing black men with white women. Why does that matter to you? Why bring it up? And having done that why not just own it?

Easier to play victim I guess. Its the whole purpose of this thread, after all.

 

And many people believe white skin is a virtue signaling — I guess you will just have to accept that your race will be slowly erased from public commercials under the same banner you have erected here.

Enjoy

 

Turns out the 'hilarious proportions' are pretty close to the actual proportions, but you knew that.

This whole thread is about a bunch of right wing white people acting as if seeing non-whites on TV is something terrible based on a BS claim. Look at the title of the thread. Its a hysterical claim about non-whites on TV which is being treated as accurate by a bunch of people acting like victims because of something they made up in their heads. Again.

And then someone actually complains about seeing white women with black men. In 2023.

When the absurdity and offensiveness of all this is pointed out we have the predictable screams of "don't call me racist!". Like I said, this was a white victimhood thread from the start. Your post just reinforces that.

 

Was that last question directed towards me because I've made no such reference to this country being racist? And yes, they are making a real effort to include all ethnicities in commercials. At the end of the day, its all about increasing their profits.

 

Can’t remember the last time I watched a commercial…

 

I live in a diverse area---and regarding commercials, seeing a black family depicted , or an Asian family, or even a family with one black and one white spouse and mixed children seems realistic and normal. I see different races everyday. Now....if I lived in a state or city 99% white??? . What seems abnormal is never seeing a completely white family . Something that distracts me from the product being sold is an "over-done" family-- complete with one asian, one black, one white, one Mexican....so weird and not realistic.

Black America: Is There Truth in Advertising?

If you’ve seen any American television advertising of late, you might easily conclude that the nation has undergone an astonishing demographic shift: there are no more white people. All right, that’s hyperbole, but not by much. In the wake of the summer of Black Lives Matter and the widely spread assertion that America is rife with systemic racial ills, many advertisers adopted a kind of marketing blackface. Today, spokesmodels who are not themselves people of colour seem unfailingly to be in relationships with people of colour. ln serving up a slew of black and especially interracial couples, advertisers ignore reality: US census data tells us that only one in six couples are interracial—and America has about one-tenth as many black couples as white couples. The interracial couples are generally depicted out driving or otherwise frolicking with their joyful children, who vary in shade from a medium mocha to a burnished mahogany, lest such ads misstep by depicting a couple whose genetic stew produced a child erring too much toward the Caucasian end. Even the increasingly rare all-white couples seem to have at least one child of colour sitting in the back seat, thus breaking up the bland, monochromatic tedium.

Why do you care?

 

That you support racial discrimination doesn't make it any less wrong. And again, confusing individuals for each other because they are the same race.... is racism. Giving special preferential treatment to one person because another suffered is also irrational.
