Diversity in TV advertising has improved in the ensuing years. And I 100% agree with what you said about the relationship between art, truth, and propaganda. Thats one of the things that bothers me most about this topic brands and advertisers and everyone else banging on endlessly about racism and diversity and inclusion, and then doing absolutely nothing fair, honest, equitable, or meaningful when they have the opportunity to actually be the change they say they want to see. The only good Lia has done is prove without a doubt that males are stronger than females. Once youve determined how youd like to improve, tap into the many new resources out there, such as Vices gender-inclusive stock photo library and the Conscious Style Guide, a guide for helping writers use more inclusive, mindful language. In Opinion: Survey Says: Americans Are Dumber Than a Bag of Rocks, writer Jim Thompson cites a study that shows just how out of whack peoples perceptions are regarding the size of different populations by income, race, religion, gender identity, and more all due to the agenda-driven programming we are being force-fed on TV.

As a retired marketing executive with over 30-years experience at a Fortune 10 company, I cant understand what the ad industry is doing today. All Im saying is that occasional mixed race ads or poc ads are fine if they mirror society, but when the viewing public is being indoctrinated by depictions that far outnumber real world representation in an effort to alter perception its problematic, yes, whites need not apply = discrimination .they should file a lawsuit. I was astounded at what had happened to tv since my last road trip. When relationship of ANY type is broken, it requires both parties to take some level of personal responsibility to make amends that genuinely last. Work Backward From Your Diverse Customer Base, Theres nothing better than an ad that feels authentically inclusive and nothing worse than one that feels like it was conceived by executives hoping to be on trend with diversity. So much for fairness and tolerance, yes? Where I come from, the news has been doing that for years. And I have to remind myself, this is advertising were talking about. Ive noticed this for a long time now. But I think its gonna work as badly as forced school bussing did in the 60s and 70s. I note in your article statistics on the percentage of each race in the population (citizens or non-citizens?) The way I think of it, if I was an alien circling the Earth in my spaceship and the only thing I knew about the human race was from what I saw in tv ads, then I would have to conclude that most families consist of a black dad, a white mom, two very light skined children, and, judging by the huge modern kitchen, are living in a beautiful house. Dont make assumptions about your audience. I get it, friend. are being promoted by females. This group of people cant represent more than 4 or 5 percent but they seem to take up Al least 30 percent representation in TV commercials. If you are a long-time Cranky reader, then you know that I believe authenticity is a key component in advertising. Thank you! Amazing. Interesting, RPD. At 2:54 in that video, the voiceover says: Whether its acceptance of an interracial family or a same-sex couple, advertisers say these new ads are a reflection of modern America.. your sad excuse for a blog is nothing more than a cesspool of racism, hate, and bigotry. They always do the slow seeping of an idea into the culture, and then, at some point, go warp-speed. Your example is awfully specific. Do black people love hockey? There is so much going on that really is inter-related. Do the stories you read there measure up to the advertising portrayal? Multiracial images. While I can certainly appreciate the occasional clever attempt to subvert traditional gender roles in TV commercials, it becomes a problem when the majority of ads go out of their way to push agendas focused on race and gender. Do it. We knew this was coming, and are not struggling for reasons like the normies do. Healthy minds recognize differences like this and it niggles away at us because it just doesnt track. I have noticed such a drastic change in the demographics of television commercials. While I agree with the blogger on many of his points (especially the way ads portray whites as dumb and in need of people of color to survive in America), I read an article that stated Hollywood and Networks (most notably, CBS) are required to hire 50% of the minority applicants in order to push their social agenda. Avoiding them is not racism. The second reason is the more we insult and lampoon strong male role models, the more our children will suffer. Its amazing how overnight white people became complete buffoons and black people became highly intelligent with all the answers to everything in life. Gay couples have no business in shows aimed at three year olds. Ive wanted to ask a black person if they dont just feel really insulted by all this.

But to look at these commercials youd think that 90% of the country was black and theyre only casting commercials to reflect the demographics. Nissan had an ad last year that I found annoying in great part because it had an unmistakably white boy call a black woman mom, but also seemed to be advocating the idea that women are all poor drivers. Ive noticed it, too a conspicuous number of women replacing traditional male leads in truck commercials, super-hero movies, etc. In other words they are literally destroying their markets slowly while thinking they are getting the upper hand and the last word in their agenda thats fueled deep down by fear, anger and pain. When you see 95% of commercials featuring 95% black people, its because of black producers/directors/executives. You are spot on, except I do have to disagree about the Hispanic and other people of color not being represented well in advertising. Im a 64-year-old liberal white female who usually votes Democratic but Ive been noticing this more and more. Overcasting Black folks is simply an effort to keep themselves employed.

America GET YOUR BACKBONE BACK AND START SAYING NO TO THESE PEOPLE!!! They are a reflection of a small fraction of modern America which is being conspicuously amplified to unrealistic proportions. I guess if you have to have a man in the ad, God forbid he be white. Married to blonde white models. Thanks for doing the legwork so we dont have to, Wypipo. Well, the fair-minded ones do, anyway. Of course you are wrong. I understand what my staff is going through; I dont have to conduct research studies. Ive never seen Jewish representation in commercials. These companies didnt get the message, so now boycotts and canceled subscriptions are hurting their bottom lines. To many people, white males have become the very symbol of privilege. If 60% of their sales go out the window theyll care, because we all know the only thing corporations care about is money (assuming all 60% of white Americans feel that way). Another reader mentioned something similar. What about The China loving NBA or the NFL? That said, I think you expressed yourself quite well. So in short, replace the current population and weaken the next generation with confusion so there is nobody to fight back. Good comment, ARG.

Spot on Dave as a former MarComm professional I feel as you do. They hate normal people.

Good. Hit them where it hurts their profit margins and tell them why youre leaving. Wow, where will this country get our future warriors? Bottom line, I consider my self slightly left of center politically, but having experienced discrimination I am sensitive to it and find it unacceptable in all its forms (yes, including against straight white males).

Liberal white creative types were so wracked with white guilt the only thing they could think to do to assuage it was to erase white people (esp white men) from advertising.
