Pretty much standard fare now.
Making the male look stupid, especially White male.
Inter-racial couples now make up nearly half of fantasy modern advertisements.
Showing White Male doing stupid things and Females and Children laughing as he gets hurt.
Reminds me of my unstable ex who smiled when the topic of abortion was raised. “My body, I can do what I want...” You know, killing babies is such a jovial topic.
I know a couple of white males like that dude. One found a chick as drugged up and out-of-touch as he is.
Ah...advertising. Through observation, I have come up with my own Madison Avenue advertising hierarchy.

YMMV
Ain’t that the truth. According to the ads, most Caucasian grandparents all of a sudden have at least one token minority grandchild. Reality is slipping from our grasp.

And before anyone asks, yes, I've seen advertisements with interracial couples where the man was white and was not an idiot.
