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.
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.
