Anybody notice an increase in the amount of interracial couples in advertising? It started a few years ago but has really ramped up recently with race/racism being inserted into everything. Also noticing a lot more black people in general in Canadian ads.
I don't have a problem with seeing interracial couples or black people in advertisements but the over-representation is simply over the top and statistically impossible at this point. Black people only make up 3.5% of the Canadian population but it seems like a quarter to half of the people you see in ads are black or an interracial couple often including one black person. Even if every black person was dating outside of their race, we would still only see 3.5% of couples being black interracial, which you almost wouldn't even notice.
Makes you think. What are they really trying to sell?
Yes, I hope this is the case where the vocal minority screaming too loud and too long and finally piss off the silent majority.
I think we are starting to slowly see the bumbling black dad role too, very suttle but it's there. This isn't a white or black thing it's an attack on all dad's. Let's face it mainstream hates father figures and they've hated them for a really long time
I got a look at the behind-the-scenes on this:
I volunteered for a student service on campus a couple years ago. They do advertising across campus and needed a picture of a man and a woman for the advertisement. The coordinator picked me, as well as a girl volunteer, to be part of it. Both white. We take the pictures, and pick out some that we like. A few weeks go by, and eventually the coordinator casually lets me know that they decided to go with a different set of pictures, that includes a black man and a white woman (both volunteers again). After some questioning, the she (the coordinator) revealed that the first pictures had been rejected by the campus advertising committee (or w/e, some university bureaucracy that controls the advertisements on campus), and that they requested a reshoot with more "diversity". So, that's how that came to be.
In the end I think overrepresentation in advertising basically has the effect of subconsciously convincing white people that they should "step aside" and support affirmative action programs, greater immigration, and yes maybe more interbreeding between races. It's the psychological programming before the BLM riots, immigrant takeover of communities, and immigrant crimes so white people will casually accept it.
Of course I doubt that any of the people involved in this particular decision have really thought of any of this - they're probably just middle-class white women going along with the morality that they've already been conditioned to accept through media and public schooling. I.e. they genuinely believe that promoting diversity in advertising is a good thing at face value, and fully believe that minorities are disadvantaged in Canada.
Have you considered, I don't know, the entire basis upon which modern advertising is created? Advertisements are entirely subliminal messaging at this point, watch TV for a few hours and really focus on how many of the advertisements try to convince you through rational presentation of the relevant facts. It will be approximately 0 of the ads you watch. It's all subconscious manipulation of people into consuming their product.
Fuck off.
I can't say I've seen that too often either. Seems fishy.
Corporations are pressured by SJWs now more than ever to appear woke. Putting a black male with a white woman in an ad is a far easier action to appease the SJW mob than raising wages and benefits for employees. Or slashing your prices.
As someone who used to literally vote NDP until I couldn't stomach the wokeness anymore, I can't take the left seriously anymore when they claim to fight for the common man. And yet they get corporations to bend the knee on racial, LGBT, feminist virtue signalling but never make corporations bend the knee on wages, benefits, providing affordable housing to the poor, etc. Notice how the left only started rioting when a black man got killed. Where were the riots when the cost of housing and tuition soared over years and years?
I don't give a fuck if CIBC has a rainbow coloured logo during Pride Month. As a half-faggot who had a fintech start-up once, what pisses me off more is that excessive regulation in the financial sector leads to banks treating customers like criminals and excessive expenses for small businesses. CIBC being no exception to that rule.
I don't believe that the big international corporations are bending a knee any more than I believe the political parties aren't taking orders. There is an agenda from global entities. To your points though, the Left ideen dgaf about the causes they claim to champion and it's very obvious from their actions and lack of action.
Yes I've been noticing this for years. Blacks are incredibly over represented in Canadian and US media and advertisement. Pay attention in pedowood movies how for decades now blacks are nearly always represented as heroes and how often white men are villains or morons or something . Notice also how in movies where blacks have strictly secondary unimportant roles, they are judges, mayors, presidents, rich philanthropists, genius academics etc. The burglars, bums, junkies, rapists, dickheads, etc will usually be represented by whites.
You're retarded
Why, yes, I have.
I'm going to say, what you don't want to hear. I support it - maybe its for the good that "traditional family values" are being shown with other races. Maybe we can start fixing the community problem at the root of all this mayhem and showing an intact family, might be start. Demographics be damned.
However, within reason. In the US, I saw a commercial which was advertising participation in the census...not a single white person in the ad.
shut the fuck up
