Commercials take up 27% of commercial television screen time and are the main source of income for TV and radio stations. In most cases, advertisements on all channels appear simultaneously, so don't try to change the channel, there will be commercials elsewhere, too. Nowadays they have also taken over the Internet. For a financial support, websites have to run ads on their pages, the largest share supplied and controlled by Google. Ads pry into your eyes, unceremoniously interfere with text, and on YouTube, in the most inappropriate places they cut into the action of films, lectures and concerts, tearing apart musical performances. There's no escaping commercials, we've grown accustomed to them, and they become almost as much a part of our lives as food, toilets, and sleep.
In the United States today, the White population (not including Hispanics) is 57.8%. In real life Caucasians are still in the majority, but now on TV and the Internet they are swept under the rug like trash. Blacks compose 14% of the U.S. population but appear in 50% of commercials.

Yep, for some reason asians are rarely in commercials, and all those people who appear in them are professional actors. When I lived in New York city my neighbor did that. What they have to do is actually go to auditions and if they are thought right for the commercial, they are hired. Asian actors must have the toughest time as they are rarely hired for anything whether it’s commercials or any other acting gig.
That was one strange commercial you provided the link for.
According to the comments after the commercial, the blonde is some famous actress (I never heard of) — Brie Larson.
That’s what I thought as well.
