“...just pay attention to television commercials...”
Watching TV commercials nowadays, you can only assume blacks have surpassed 50% proportion of the USA population...rather than their actual 12-13%. Good for the black actors that got a paying gig. But I shy away from purchasing products from companies that are attempting to manipulate me with their bull crap social engineering.
I actually saw the over representation of blacks in ads explained by a marketing experts.
Whites in studies on the subject don’t care about the race of the actors in the ads. They focus on the procuct. Blacks, however, do care. So it’s a win to put blacks in the ads due to black racism. The expert didn’t put it that way, but that’s the idea.
even in catalogs...there is never a blond and if there is a blond, she is always much more unattractive than the main brown model.
Looked at Psychology today this month... they have an artsy graphics department. All the whites were unattractive. Just watched a show called the Umbrella Academy. Still holds.
