I find it hard to believe white men at least don’t see race in commercials; look at how many never show white guys in the workplace or on a college campus. The oddest thing is these ads I receive from colleges for my children; the tokens in their brochures don’t resemble their target clients (us) in any way - and they don’t get our business. They go to state schools that don’t really advertise due to the demand for them (not great schools, but great prices for NJ).
I don’t disagree. But would you ever dare contacting those places (especially the university) and complaining? I would love to have a front row seat to that.
I feel your pain. “They” make it hard to NOT see race.
PS: I was a 55 year old white man looking for work a couple of years ago. Every time I was a final candidate, I lost out to a black woman. Once? Sure, Twice? Ok. Three and four times...it almost made me get a tan and a week.
