Sometimes the over-representation of blacks in TV ads reaches absurd proportions. It's not uncommon for most or all of the people in three or four consecutive ads to be black, and few ads don't have at least one. The pandering is getting embarrassing.

Also, women seem to be overrepresented. Often you see a mother, or two women, and their children in a large, upscale house, with not a man in sight.

It's amazing how quickly the marketing departments went woke. I wonder how they will handle the boycotts. Everyone knows it's easier to maintain a client than attract a new one, and they are losing clients.

Ads began subliminally. I recall one beer ad with multiple people partying in an apartment. A white woman took a black guy by the hand and went into the bedroom. Next their orgasmic cheers drowned the music and chatter in the next room to the shocked look of the party goers.

Additionally, on what you commented, the female away on a business trip calling from a hotel back home to her stay-at-home loser husband and the image was a messy kitchen or something similar to show his incompetence as a dad....that was oft-played, too. Takes a liberal mind to try to promote such garbage.

The over-representation of female voices is noticeable, too.

What cracks me up is the over pandering with the bi-racial push. If it’s black gal with a white guy she’s driving or in charge in some way.

Or a bi-racial couple.

Not saying there’s anything wrong with that - but the TV advertisers have gone well out of their way to show ads with a bi-racial couple.
