This is excellent! I have been saying something was wrong. We all know how skewed the TV demographics are, but seeing the actual numbers in print brings it home. How does the pervert 1% get to dictate public opinion? More so, why would we let it?

My “beef” is with the mostly black and mixed commercials. The worst is the one I encounter on Freebie which is for AID drugs, and gay people romancing. Sickening.

One percent trans seems high. Maybe very high. They probably rounded up.

Those real numbers sound about right (and my answers matched fairly closely to the real ones), except the figure about gay people. It depends if you include bisexual (swings both ways) as "gay", in which case that 3% figure would be more like 4% or even 5%. A fair number of people "experiment" or are "mostly straight but occasionally switch sides".

But the real value, regardless of how you compute it, is nowhere near 30%. Except on TV and Hollywood, of course.

We don’t have TV in our house, so the only time I see TV is when I’m at the gym. When I’m on the treadmill and gazing at the 5 TVs in front of me, it’s not unusual to see all 5 screens in commercial breaks at the same time and to see only black faces on all 5 screens. Of course, gay couples are thrown in frequently as well. It’s no wonder people have a distorted view of demographics in this country.

"What percentage of the country is black? Answers 41%. Actual 12%. If you watch commercials, you will think it is 90%."

This has become a big issue with me. The percentage of blacks in ads had already been inflated over their actual numbers for a number of years, but after the George Floyd riots it got utterly ridiculous. Not only is the number of blacks greatly exaggerated, but so is their economic status: virtually all of them are presented as living in high-end homes in affluent neighborhoods.

This is the kind of pandering and incessant affirmation that is normally reserved for young children, and it is demeaning.

Sadly, Not the least bit humorous. And may yet be the most important post of information that i read this week. Thank you for again posting a worthy read.

Friends of ours commented that their kids didn’t understand why people accused the Founding Fathers of racism since according to “Hamilton” they were all brown people.
