Why are commercials predominantly black actors?
I thought we were aiming for diversity — but it seems commercials are at least 50% black, when they’re roughly 13% of the population. What is the point of the over representation? I just saw a T-Mobile commercial with the hockey players being black guys, which isn’t even factually correct. This is a serious question, I am happy for all people to chime in. What is the point?

You sure you aren’t tuned to BET?
Fuck wrong channel it’s late
somebody's gotta pay for centuries of oppression
😂😂😂
What about genocide of Native Americans, Chinese Exclusion Act, Japanese Internment camps, etc?
we tune our 5G brainwashing signals specifically to make black guys play more hockey
Wheres the data to back your claims?
No specific data, but I’m sure you watch TC and notice — all these interracial couples that aren’t statistical, or an old Korean lady watching the WNBA. I just think it’s dumb. Why don’t you ever see any Indians in commercials?
Probably because appealing to the white culture is the most profitable, and everything/everyone else just seems to appear as virtue signaling

White people have played POC characters all this time. It is OK for black people to play non black characters.
True, but they seem to be grossly over represented and the lack of diversity is bothering me.

Have we really gotten to this point? You need X amount of demographics to appease the mob?
Yes. Separate but related, see Wells Fargo LinkedIn page. 95% black in the post photos. As if 95% of banking customers are really black.
A little over correction in the year or two after the Black Lives Matter movement isn’t a big deal. Let it have some time, and maybe a more proportional representation of all races will come.
This is a level headed response. I have always tried to be fair, 65-70% of this country is white, totally understand we shouldn’t have 100% white people in a show or movie! But you’re right, probably an over correction.
Virtue signal, be woke. It’s an overcorrection from not having had as much representation in the past. At least Benetton ads were actually diverse. Also you’re totally right, but voicing an opinion like yours IRL will get you labeled a racist before you can blink.
I get banned very frequently on here for stuff like this. I try to be very fair and start open dialogue, but I guess I’m not woke enough for the mob! Virtual signaling is just the absolute worst.
What is the point of you caring?

I hate the lack of diversity. 13% of the population but seemingly prominent in every single commercial.
