One of the factors is purchasing. Women do the majority of purchasing in the household so the commercials are targeted to them.

I think I just lost a few brain cels reading this article and thread.

If you want to start an "action plan" to have white parents teach their kids how to stare without blinking for as long as possible, just so that they could beat some asian kid in a "no blinking" contest, feel free to do so. I'm sure the asian parents are doing just as productive, like making their kids do homework.

How long do you think it will be that we must stay under the thumb of the kind of PCism that posits that all white people are evil, wrong, losers, stupid or otherwise weak and bad?

Until the last one out slams the door shut and leaves the diverse - carpet bagging socialists to their own devices.

Example: Go to Grand Bahama Island and check out the local "museums". Portraits of white englishmen abound - they set up the system years ago but fled when the radicals burned down houses and took over the island.

It looks like a futurama where the whites set up a civilization and all that remains is the remnants of their efforts. Rampant unemployment of the black population is underscored by the ultra-modern port facilities and chemical processing plants in the industrial protected - fenced off zone.

Those who would employ the local population were sent packing - but the warlords after poverty set in were smart enough to court a few high paying chemical processing operations that are illegal by federal statute in the US to to provide enough bakshish to keep the cars and caviar flowing for the elites.

Jesus said that the poor will always be with us. The poor do well to get help from the not-so poor and suffer when they persecute the better off.

Frankly doesn't matter if the WAMU guys, white, purple, or got a tooth up his nose.

Its a commercial who give a damn what a bunch of mostly white guys, who are way too light in the loafers sitting on Madison Avenue put in their paid attempts to convince you your life is meaningless without whatever elixer they are selling?

They are meaningless in the grand scheme of any meaningful human beings life. Their job is to convince people their lives are crap, and only be better if they buy what they tell them to buy..... Who gives a damn what they think or say?

Certainly no one who's got a few brain cells that work.

I can name off of the top of my head about 5 or 10 shows that feature a nerdy smart black kid: Malcolm in the Middle, Danny Phantom, Lazytown, etc.

Typical put down of education for black people. The nerdy black kid is nerdy because he's pursuing an education. To be cool, black kid's gotta be ghetto, yunnastan?

I notice this all of the time. However, my take on it has been that these companies are blackmailed into putting minorities on so they don't get sued.

They know white people won't complain about it so they make whites the butt of the jokes and minorities the star. Doesn't seem to work for TV shows though. However, it could explain the current fetish for reality TV.

Currently BrightHouse Networks, our local cable company, has commercials running with no whites on it. They must have really been bent over someone's knee.

Wow. Our only hope is for our children to marry someone who doesn't look European!

LOL.

Bill Gates may not be as hip and with it as Madison Avenue's target audience is, but I seriously doubt he loses sleep at night worrying about the gas bill or the mortgage.

Not much of a cause for concern except to those who ONLY see things in terms of race.

I think you missed his point. Many in these minority groups already DO in fact see everything in racial terms, whether we like it or not, and that's not necessarily going to go away just because you or your children are now in the minority.

Haven't you read the Atzlan signs: Go Back to Europe!
