Vanity---Interracial couples on TV commercials
01/15/2016 | me

Posted on 01/15/2016 8:27:45 PM PST by BridgeOutAhead

Full disclosure: I have a daughter-in-law who has a Black father and three grandchildren who have a Black grandfather.

I notice on the few commercials that show an interracial couple it is, without exception, a Black man and a White woman. It is never the reverse of that. I understand that it is much more common for a Black male to marry a White female than the reverse and I don't care who marries who, (as long a they are of two, separate genders), but why is this?

I was lusting after Diahann Carroll back in the day and then there is Halle Berry. Does half-black count?

About six months ago a piece of bulk mail came in from a well-known business, and it depicted a black father, a white mother and an asian baby, and we laughed our butts off when we looked at it. We had noticed the increase in interracial family stuff for the past two years (snickering at the most ludicrously contrived examples), and up pops this "trifecta" that was so cheesy, so condescending and so ham-handed that the hilarity dam broke. All three "family members" depicted were, of course, improbably attractive and the makeup/clothing/lighting was impeccable. It wasn't half over the top.

If they had included a stately latino grandfather and an serene albino grandmother behind the happy little trio, we'd have peed our pants.

White guy married to a black woman here and I’m feeling the micro-aggression big time. I can barely go out anywhere without being visually ridiculed by looks in the other direction. It is my strong belief that, because the government does not take my and my family’s situation seriously by creating regulations requiring companies and their advertisers to represent our segment of the population more forcefully, that the average American is able to simply ignore our situation or worse — treat it as some sort of aberration. Because of this, I feel that I am entitled to significant compensation for the mental and emotional anguish we, as a tax-paying family in good standing have had to endure.

Partly it is because opposites attract. Negro men tend to be more masculine seeming in build and attitude than others. So are Negro women. Caucasian men who look outside their own race often prefer the more feminine featured (delicate, fine featured) oriental women.

I travelled the midwest and southeast for several years as a carny with a childrens ride (independent). I met quite a few Negro/Caucasian couples, mostly but not all Negro men. At least among those who attend state fairs those couples with children appeared to be the most satisfied and solidly married couples I met anywhere. I got into discussions with two of those couples at two different fairs. Both had pretty much the same stories. He was turned off by the drugs and the raucous behaviour among the Negro women he knew. She was put off by the total lack of interest in marriage by the Caucasian men she knew. I know that Negro men share that same reluctance to marry and Caucasian women can be just as unpleasant but when two people despair of their own kind and look around for alternatives they stand out and are more visible to each other and come together.

The PC market is their target and government pressure is a spur.

I saw a commercial within the past month that had a white guy with a cute milk chocolate wife. I cannot remember the product.

“...they want to promote the browning out of the United States.”

That is the very obvious plan. It is based on the very well established societal behavioral determinant — monkey see, monkey do.

Why publish something that is zero?

The FBI publishes breakdowns of violent crimes by many different categories, race of victim and criminal being one of them.

I agree and was being slightly sarcastic. I am sure somebody in their office actually is using that as an excuse for not publishing that factoid.

No. Of course not.

I always thought Whitney Houston was an absolute doll.

Dunno what her heritage is, nor do I care what Halle Berry's family came from.

Sometimes when you blend races, the outcome is spectacular.

Tell me why this is News.

It's not. That's why it's in "General Chat".
