“Whites, and white men in particular, are generally seen as squares.”
I didn’t watch the video, but it’s much worse than squares. We are portrayed as complete idiots. When a product is advertised, the people/families using the “wrong” product are white and completely f**ked up because of it. Meanwhile, the black family down the street has their act together... totally.
When I lived in California I went to a McDonalds in the Walmart store. Huge, attractive posters on ALL the walls portraying happy people and families — about 10 of them. Not ONE had a Caucasian in it. I went home and wrote a letter to the manager, reminding her that if not for Caucasians there wouldn’t be a country, this store, her job, etc.
Surprisingly, she responded that she hadn’t noticed that issue with the posters, and apologized. Within a couple of weeks... some NEW POSTERS!
Good job.
It is about time we started asserting the primacy and superiority of Western Culture.
The world as we know it is the product of some clever, white, western Europeans and is far better off for it.
I saw the movie "Logan's Run" the other day. It was set in the future. There were no black people in it. I guess white people ain't planning on us being around in the future."
Playing to their perceived audience. Generally, (hopefully) whites aren’t going to be caught dead in a wal mart McDonald - the food is for poor people. I’m sure it must have been a hunger emergency
Excellent idea. My brother asked a lawyer friend if he noticed how Africans were in every ad on TV in a portrayal of supremacy, when they are only 13% of the population. Carl responded, he hadn’t really noticed as he scratched his head thinking, you know, he’s right.
If you see the anti-tobacco ads where a black woman exposes the push to peddle death in black areas, you realize she should be waging the same campaign against fast-food chains. I loved the stuff in my younger days, and am shocked at how little it appeals to my teen children. Like soda, it is just another unhealthy thing that targets low-information people.
White people can see for themselves that the black “Leave It To Beaver” depictions don’t match the reality around them; at that point you realize this isn’t an idea being sold to whites, but to BLACKS - they should be “acting white” because McDonalds said so.
