How about any ad where the “white man” is the jerk, the idiot, the moron, the uniformed, while in the same commercial, the minority (usually black) is the expert, the authority, the boss, and the informative.

It's not only in commercials. When I was laid off, I worked a stint at the Home Depot. In the training videos we watched for operating the lift equipment, they always showed a white guy doing the safety violations - smoking a cig while changing the propane tank, etc...

I was in Government - in all of the sexual harassment videos. the white guy was always portrayed as the aggressor, the female, the minority, etc. never committed any sexualy harassment violations = it was always the white guy.
In fact, at one session, the facilitator actually stated that sexual harassment is a problem of the white male that needs to be addressed.
