You’re just not going to the right parts of town, or the radio dial. George Carlin had a whole routine about growing up listening to Spanish stations. I remember when one of my family members moved into a poor neighborhood in Tucson in the late 70s and going to visit them and suddenly the billboards were in Spanish and they were advertising radio and TV stations I’d never heard of. Not to mention the Mexican markets.
As for catering to Asians go to a neighborhood where they’re clustered. Service signage in San Francisco is in English, Spanish and Chinese. That was back in the 90s. I remember getting in a cab in Seattle in 2002 to find the cabby reading a newspaper in Russian. If there’s enough of a population of them to be worth marketing to somebody is going to.
You might be only encountering Spanish, and only recently, but that’s just because your life wasn’t taking you to those places. It happens. Last night was the first time I ever knowingly heard an Usher, my life doesn’t take me to the sections of the world he’s in. None of it is pushing any narratives, it’s chasing dollars. The American dream.
Where I live in DFW, we’ve got folks from India everywhere, but it seems corporate America hasn’t figured out how the tap into that demographic.
If you read my posts you’d know I stated our Koreans (or FTM, our Moslems who have “exploded” since 2001, God help us) are not catered to. They’re so clustered they finally did get to build pagodas on our main National Road portion calling it “Korean Way”. Other than that, they of course cater to each other so their businesses have Korean all over.
The point was how nationally a big deal is made about illegals (that is what it is, because there were plenty Mexicans in the USA before that were legal).
Not locally, though that’s indicative too.
Cinco de Mayo? Nobody knew what the hell that was until the last 20 years. Mexican-based kid movie featuring cultural things like that “Day of the Dead” creepiness, which likewise is showing up more in ads and things to buy at Michael’s. It’s absurd. Everything is to cater to illegals and make us “accept” it more. This didn’t happen with legal Mexicans who have been here for generations.
Don’t talk about “fact” when you can’t point out any data. I can’t either unless I research, but in MY perspective, things have gotten much more “Mexican” in my last 20 years whereas the first 30 were not.
It’s not simply more (illegal) Mexicans, it’s to undermine normal, European, American culture and principles. Just like TV shows featuring homos everywhere. Push it to force normalization.
