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.
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
