It's almost laughable, but whenever I turn on my TV, I'm confronted by an alternate reality: white males are dotards, whereas minorities, seemingly the majority in every commercial, are practically perfect. Maybe that's true in the White House, but not at large. This representation of minorities as over-achieving heroes may assuage DIE sensibilities, but it will not narrow the persistent achievement gaps.
In the movie Being There, Peter Sellers plays Chance (Chauncey) Gardiner. Chauncey has connections, is presentable, and dons nice clothes. He is also really stupid, which may be why the intelligentsia hang on his every word. His "wisdom" comes from two endeavors: gardening and watching TV. Actually, TV so represents his reality that if he were watching today, he'd presume that white people, especially males, are a bumbling minority.
Non-white males, by contrast, are full of wit, benignly tolerating hapless white imbeciles while guiding them through life's challenges. In this fake world, Chauncey would presume that minorities disproportionately contribute to the betterment of society, whereas white nincompoops are a bunch of silly sods bumbling from one mishap to another. Immersed in the perverted Hollywood scripts, there'd be little indication that white people are still the majority of our population.
Doctors, judges, lawyers, scientists, entrepreneurs, even Queen Cleopatra...they are characters disproportionately played by minorities. This special treatment does a disservice by overstating their status in the make-believe, while glossing over their struggles, sometimes self-imposed. It deflects attention from lingering achievement gaps in just about every endeavor except sports and hip-hop. That's most unfortunate, because we know that black and Hispanic students perform well in charter schools compared to public schools, something fake news underreports. Narrowing the education gap requires Being There.

White people are the idiots being guided by wise minorities to make the right product choices. That is if there are even white people in the TV commercial.
Gotta keep the proles down.
“whereas minorities, seemingly the majority in every commercial”
seemingly?? seemingly??
Whites have been relegated to nothing more than being in the background in many commercials. Or as the story suggests, complete morons.
I also see ads that are absolutely laughable....blacks camping or at a monster truck rally come to mind. I’m sure those things happen in real life but to somehow portray it as common insults my intelligence.
Also, if I hear another loud mouth black dude yelling or singing off key in a commercial about a fast food resim gonna take hostages. Damn that’s obnoxious.
resim - restaurant
Government has stained every bit of American culture.
Modern TV is little more than propaganda disguised as entertainment.
From the shows.. to the commercials ..to sporting events ..to News...
I was in college when BEING THERE was released. I give that movie a lot of credit for helping my avoid the brainwashing that was already going on. Still one of my favorites.
But you cannot erase the knowledge and intrinsic understanding of the artificially constructed affirmative action world. Most know it’s fake, but go along with the ruse to avoid social conflict.
It’s like watching so many movies showing women ruthlessly beating up men twice their size. It bears no resemblance to plausible reality but somehow most just go with it. The sad reality also proving this is that almost any time a minority is in a position of authority most will contemplate what role affirmative action played with that person rather than what skill or merit brought them to that position. That is the underlying reality despite what Hollywood portrays or what liberal elite fantasy world demands.
The ruse will continue and many will keep their nose to the wheel but the outcome will continue to drag down every single skill level in society as society demands we diminish every single criteria to accommodate the artificial utopia the mentally unstable among us demand we acquiesce to.
Personally, a lot of institutions I previously trusted I no longer trust, such as the medical profession. Sadly, I am much more focused on researching things and learning skills or making informed decisions rather than heretofore just trusting any so-called expert or professional.
But this is where we have now been deposited as a society. We keep our heads down and go along with what we all know is false hoping and waiting for reality to regain control.

What I’ve started noticing is the pitying, disgusted look black characters in commercials give to the bumbling white males.
And the white mans wife looks at him like she is upset that he is not as smart as the black characters.
I avoid buying from companies that exclude white people
State Farm killed off white jake
I will never ever buy insurance from State Farm ever
It’s only for black people they’ve made that clear
Low expectations are based on decades of experience, not bigotry.
