Why does almost every television commercial show an interracial couple ?

It seems so unnatural. Almost like a hidden agenda is being foisted upon us.

    Marketing executives are paid incomes that can range into the millions per year for the highest paid. They study the market and gear their advertising to what they believe will earn their companies the most sales.

    Perhaps they're missing the mark and need you to advise them as to how they should design their marketing. Think of all the money you could earn with your particular insight.

    It’s called “pandering” to prevent blowback from not having minority groups in advertising.

    You're just now noticing this? It's been going on for over a decade now. It's gotten so bad that I actively avoid shows with Black people because I know the most masculine Black guy on the show is always going to be a side kick to some feminist White chick.

    Judy and Charlie - You're a moron. The change in demographics show that Hispanics and Asians are the only two growing demographics. Blacks abort half their babies, so they are staying about steady, and Whites are not even at replacement levels. So why on Earth would they show Black guys with White women if the purpose was to make money and appeal to a larger audience? IT'S PROPAGANDA YOU ******* IDIOT.

    tribeca_belle - Another day, another retard. They control the market and put out whatever bullshit propaganda they want. There is no competition to Netflix. There is no competition movie studios who have deals with China that own the majority of the movie theaters in the world.

    Donnie's argument that it's pandering to mitigate practices of shady corporations is a theory I believe holds a lot of water. These same corporations talk about green energy all the time and leave out the part about black children mining cobalt to build the batteries which are needed for this so-called green energy.

    No, you're wrong.

    Commercials and advertisements must appeal to the public at large.  And so, as society changes and people's attitudes change, advertising must change to reflect and respect that. 

    After all, WISK doesn't have women crying about "ring around the collar" anymore and today's home cleaning products actually show men using them.  Imagine that.

    You're just behind the times.

    An interracial couple or a gay couple.

    Pandering to minorities that have disposable income.

    So be it!

  • It's out of hand how stupid it is.. I recently saw a show where a white couple had two black kids.. And they were terrible actors..

    Why not?  Obama and Kamala the cop are good examples of biracial people.
