Since your in the biz .. Let me ask .. Why does it always seem to be WHITE MALES?
That's EASY to answer - and you surely know why. It's because - other than the good Mnsgr's blog here - there is no "p.c." outrage against white males. Most of my corporate and commercial clients (all white men/women) are so very afraid of being politically incorrect, that they will go out of their ways to build a pretty little rainbow of ethnicity in their programs. They'll find actors to "play against type" and then pat themselves on the back for their 'sensitivity' and thoughtful ingenuity. "Gaggggg!". (Plus, the thought of using a minority in any negative light is just dismissed out of hand. They can't handle the letters that they WILL receive.
Anyway, so many of us here on FR - me included - are trying to fight the 'PC' culture. I'm not worried about mass media stereotypes - positive or negative - in regard to my euro_white race. We'll be just fine.
PS-FreeJohn... Have you seen the Brinks Home Security tv spots? Those crack me up. It's always a white guy breakin' in.
