Most commercials use the White Male as the idiot because idiot commercials are funny but it would be racist to use a minority figure as an idiot.

"Most commercials use the White Male as the idiot because idiot commercials are funny but it would be racist to use a minority figure as an idiot."

I agree. Even though I am a white male they don't really bother me. A clueless but lovable dolt is preferable to the stereotypes others have to live with.

Besides if you can't laugh at yourself, by default, you take yourself way too seriously. Who wants to be just another spiteful, presumably victimized, minority?
