I saw an ad the other day in which a black man, white man and white woman were seated on a couch. A voice then said something about “One of you knows nothing about football...” Then the camera zoomed to the white male (of course) who admitted his lack of knowledge. I am sure the woman and minority on the couch was coincident only. Because imagine of one of them was chosen....

I would rather watch Lubiskie Centrum Cystosci YouTube videos than the NBA. Much more interesting and relaxing.

It’s everywhere. TV commercials are exclusively black actors and if not it’s a black actor with a white spouse. Absolutely bananas for a 13 percent population group.

Part of the reason I mostly watch Youtube videos. Even there I hate the commercials, they're not selling to me based on the casting.

I just don't understand why they made the State Farm guy black.

We only care about what kind of wrapping paper you come in.

Its offensive to everyone, Its just an extremely offensive and stupid criteria for determining employment. Its as bad and offensive as female quotas.

How about a theory that WHITE people aren’t racist, so they won’t object to a person of color pitching the product?

The ironic part is the original “Jake” was actually a SF employee, the black guy is an actor.

Ha. Yes, I knew the guy was an actor-fairly decent one too. Didn’t know they actually had a real Jake.

Re: Post 18 - Black actors and actresses in TV Commercials

It's not the 13% of the overall population that matters to the networks, it's the disproportionate percentage of black viewers compared to other demographics.

Television as a medium is dead. It was losing ground to the VCR, then DVDs, then time-shifted viewing with DVDRs, DVRS, TiVos, and the Internet. Streaming solidifies its demise.

Digital advertising, especially mobile ads, surpassed television advertising in 2019 and the gap continues to widen.
