One thing that I have noticed is how blacks, who represent roughly 12% of the population, make up about 25-35% of commercial advertising actors. Next time you watch TV, take note. It is pretty obvious. Also, yesterday I happened down the diaper aisle at the grocery store and noticed that there were very few Pampers boxes featuring pictures of white babies. There does seem to be a slow purge of ‘whiteness’.

I’ve noticed the same thing about commercials. They don’t reflect reality. Unless you’re a mixed race family, how many families invite people of another race to attend their holiday dinner? It seems taboo to show a shot of all white people. There’s even a commercial with a guy jumping out of a fake cake at his grandmother’s surprise birthday party. If you look closely, there’s a little black kid standing next to the cake for just a split second. Why? Can’t have a room of all white people?

And if there is a black and a white actor in the advertisement, the black one is the smart one. This has been going on for years. Also, in male and female ads, the female is the smart one.

I’ve mentioned that sort of thing here a number of times. It has generally been met with mostly skeptisism.

How about the homosexual populace only being about 2% of the populace, but you see them all over television. You’d think 25% of the populace was homosexual if you didn’t know better.

Many shows on television have a homosexual character even if there’s only a cast of five to ten people, the over-representing by a factor of five to ten.

White males make up 30-35% of the populace. Watch them consistently show up in commercials 5 to 20% of the time, if at all. And when they do, expect them often times to be shown in a demeaning position.

If a show depicts a White male in a subservient position, I will stop watching.

That’s capitalism:

Whites will buy products aimed at blacks

Black will not buy products (as much) aimed at whites.

Hence more black advertisements
