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.
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.
