I used to live in southern California (2003 time frame). Hiking & state & national parks weren’t very hispanic-dominated then, either. Maybe a CITY park in LA, but not the trails in the mountains, deserts, or even the beaches. SOME hispanics, but hardly a majority.

>>Using the NEW MATH?<<

I was assuming 20 actors per commercial. I know that seems like a lot but you see a lot more faces on commercials than we realize.

After college I stopped showing my work :)

Read something to the effect that blacks are used so much in advertising that foreigners think all judges, doctors, and pretty much any expert on anything in the U.S is black.

I've been camping, hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, etc - none of my black friends ever joined me/us.

I ran the Xterra (trails & mountains) race series in PA for a while and there were no black participants.

Not enough Blacks in their ads? Black people under the age of 35 makeup about 7% of the population, but are featured in virtually every TV commercial and appear very heavily in printed ads. They are over-represented on TV shows, movies, etc. Same goes for women. Women make up about 12% of Law enforcement, but appear to be a majority in cop shows on TV. The pandering is ridiculous.

The Outdoors also discriminates against people with awful hay fever, too. Golf becomes 5 hours of terrible hay fever with a chance of serious injury.

i saw an ad last night for some drug and there’s a gay couple featured in the ad. Less than 2% of the population and gays are all over TV.

ABC, Fox, and CNN all have gay anchormen for their prime news hour shows.

I’ve actually read that the low ratings don’t matter if it’s in the ‘fly over country’ areas. They want ‘urban young, 15-30’ viewers and customers now.

Why?

No idea.

Most people are in business in spit of themselves.

I’ve heard too many “brathas” proclaim, “Brothas don’t hike”, “Brothas don’t ski”,”Brothas don’t camp”, etc.
