Prime minister under fire from Lethal Weapon actor and activist over comments that Jamaica should move on from slavery.

Your examples are, in a way, encouraging, in that they demonstrate that biology is not the real issue. Behavior is the issue, and behavior can be significantly affected by changing incentives.
I’m not someone who normally watches commercials (if I watch something, I watch two things - one during the commercials on the other), but my wife watches some of these weight-loss shows and they are filled with commercials dealing with “white people problems”...
I recall watching some daytime tv on a visit to my parents’ house, “Bridezilla” or something. Half the commercials were for contraceptives, and the other half were law firms trolling for class-action plaintiffs against the manufacturers of contraceptives.
That’s very funny; interesting how they tailor the commercials to fit the target market.
I guess the viewers are the “multiple partner fertility” demographic.
