I'm in advertising--hence the name. I refuse to create ads featuring the "dumb white guy." Next time you watch TV just look at how many ads feature some "dumb white guy" getting shown up by some smart black man or woman, or white woman or kid. It's so insulting. If I weren't in the business, I'd write the advertiser and tell them. As it is, I just refuse to write those type of ads, or buy products that feature the "dumb white guy."

Wow, a conservative in advertising? Must be interesting? I assume there is a vast majority of liberals in advertising.

I don't watch a lot of TV, but I watch enough that I've noticed that most if not all white male leads, (either in commercials, or in sitcoms), are either idiots or losers. Writing the company that is doing the advertising is a good suggestion.
I'll take that advice.

This actually hit me after watching a pizza hut commercial or something like that a year or so ago. Usually it's a "man's man" (regardless of color, usually white though) just getting ripped on by his kid or wife. Personally it doesn't bother me too much. The dumber people think I am the easier life gets ;)
