Integration and diversity on TV, has gotten to the point of being ridiculous and laughable.
Example:
Far too many couples on TV commercials are mixed.
Far too many commercials feature at least one black, and in many cases, blacks are the main characters.
One would think that blacks are now the majority of Americans, if the commercials were to be believed.
Diversity is okay, but things have gone way overboard.
And blacks are not even the majority nor the biggest ‘minority’, where Hispanics now outnumber them. Next, Hispanics will be demanding their equality in the diversity scales.
It’s way overdone and ridiculous.
Yes, the couples are mixed (and I have no problem with that in real life, of course). But 99% of the time, it’s a black woman with a white man, it seems.
Not sure what to make of that.
At least the commercials with black families show a husband, a wife, and children, living together as a nuclear family. That is one very positive thing I can see out of this trend.
And your comment about Hispanics reminds me of that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry comments that salsa is the most requested condiment. He said it’s because people like to say “salsa.” “Salsa salsa, salsa!” LOL.
I bought my husband tickets to see him a few Christmases back. He made me return them because he thought they were too expensive ($250). I thought it was foolish; that was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, whereas we can spend $250 on all kinds of crap.
The tickets—four of them, for us and our two children—sold within an hour.
Wait, you don’t remember all those rich black dukes and other black English aristocrats living on their estates in England in the 18th and 19th centuries? Me neither.
