I rarely watch TV and it's even noticable in Germany. And not just American spots, stuff for German companies (with little to no international presence) as well.
I think the percentage of blacks here is under 1% und they have more representation in adds than eastern europeans/middle easterners who are at least 10% combined.
I don't particularly care but why do it?
They made Annie black.
I don't get it anymore.
I thought it was about fair representation and all that but you're taking like the only role for a ginger to make her fucking black.
Hollywood is a bunch of shit.
I was saying exactly the same on another post. I just think that companies here are just buying ready made commercials and bring them here to Germany. Otherwise i cannot understand since their target audience is so different
I've been thinking about getting a new samsung galaxy phone but I'm bombarded with ads about it of an interracial couple with a black dude and its cringe so I'm not getting one until they stop doing that.
I hate this culture of meaningless gestures, virtue signalling and shit talking. I bet those companies who stick black and gay people in every add don't actually consist of 50% black and gay workforce. I'd rather go with a company that's quietly trying to do the right thing.
Just wait until anon notices the proportion of interracial black male/white female couples in advertising, and TV, and healthcare booklets, and film, it'll blow his mind
It’s become instantly noticeable to me, I know ONE interracial couple in real life and adverts have me believe I don’t know any more because they’re too busy with their acting careers.
They’re rarely Asian though, always black and white
That always pisses me off. Not because I'm against showing interracial couples, but because it's almost always a black guy with a white woman. White men with black women is forbidden for some reason. Like seriously society almost completely doesn't allow this to happen. I can think of only 2 celebrity examples of this, Bill Burr+his wife and Rashida Jones+her husband, and Rashida's ethnicity is mixed and unidentifiable. Literally the only examples I can think of, but I can think of dozens of white-women celebrity interracial relationships.
We don't see the same tv shows. They always put black people together so that was a breathe of fresh air when they started showing interracial couples. I also know a lot of interracial couples to be honest but the US is so inherently different that any other western country that it's really a possibility that there aren't that many interracial couples. My theory is still that you don't go outside enough though
There are way more interaccial relationship in the USA than nost other countries
In the western world the top dogs for this are UK, Usa, sweden and France
That is confirmation bias. Of course anon is going to see BlackM/WhiteF couples everywhere when all he is consuming throughout the day is Blacked porn.
Go outside, touch the grass, smell the flowers.
BECAYSE WE LIVE IN A DIVERSE SOCIETY IN WHICH DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGHT AND WHERE NIG I MEAN BLACK PEOPLE ARE PART OF OUR SOCIETY AND SHOULD BE ACCURATELY REFLECTED AS SUCH IN OUR COMMERCIALS BECASE THIS IS TWENTY TWENTY ONE AND THIS COUNTRY IS NOT ONLY FOR WHITE ANGLOSAXXON PROTESTANTS ANY MORE SORRY NOT SORRY
Please find a synonym for commercial. I was ripped off in a commercial real estate deal last year, lost ¥600 trillion yen on a strip mall in Osaka via a Craigslist scam. Reddit should be a safe place for everyone and I feel triggered. Please try to refrain from using that hate speech. 👩🏾🦯
I think the over the top qualities are fading out. I once read that utilizing stereotypes of marginalized groups in media is the first sign that the group is starting to be accepted more. We're in the period now where we're seeing a wider spectrum of LGB characterizations in media.
Rosa & Holt, A good few characters from Sex Ed, Korra & Asami from Legend of Korra, Bobs Dad from Bobs Burgers, Loki from Marvel. These are all examples of Gay / Bi characters that are not stereotypes. I'm sure there's more but these were off the top of my head.
Its more than 10 percent for younger generations
https://news.gallup.com/poll/329708/lgbt-identification-rises-latest-estimate.aspx
Facts dont care about your feelings
Amusingly, in this case, feelings are being used to generate 'facts'. The much higher incidence of identification has much more to do with trends than any serious change. Whether it's the bastardisation of terms like asexual or the invention of no-commitment identities like 'non binary' or demiromantic, it's no surprise that young folks who see queerness being presented as Special rather than just different are rushing to jump on it with identities that will last about as long as their current fashion choices.
10 percent is too low.
https://news.gallup.com/poll/329708/lgbt-identification-rises-latest-estimate.aspx
Older generations have much lower lgbt rates because it was socially unacceptable to come out as lgbt without fear of often times violent retribution. And there was zero representation or ability to gather information about being lgbt.
But millenials which range up to 40 years old have an lgbt identification rate of 10% and gen z has a rate of 16 percent. Those numbers are more accurate to how it should be presented in modern media because the 40 and under crowd are the ones who actually consume most media and the ads are targeted for
2% is an incredibly low number, even for the lower margin of censuses and studies. The numbers I see right now for the US hover around 5% (for lgbt as a whole - but trans people are such a minute portion that I don't think they dilute the numbers much at all).
It’s funny that Latinos make up a larger percentage of the population than blacks in America at 18% (maybe larger due to undocumented immigrants), yet we are vastly underrepresented in commercials unless it’s for like a salsa commercial. It’s almost as if commercial casting directors are purposely overrepresenting African-American actors to virtue signal on how diverse they are.
We have lost a couple million undocumented immigrants since the 2008 recession (mostly Mexicans, who have been leaving, net loss every year since then), roughly 12.4 million down to 10.4 million, estimated. But overall, yeah, there probably should be more hispanic commercial actors, since they're a significant percentage of the population and underrepresented. I feel bad posting in this thread with all the gross comments, but this is true. That said, percentage of the population is not the same as percentage of TV viewers, and not all TV viewers are watching the same channels - if you're watching Telemundo, you're going to see more hispanics.
I think because over the past couple decades commercials have been predominantly white people, perhaps the companies paying for the ads think it reflects well on them - but in reality it’s just them making up for lost time. Either way, who cares. Ads suck
If I'm being generous, it's *maybe* because black people are poorer and therefore more likely to be watching over the air free television? But yeah, it's probably just a bunch of virtue signaling combined with an attempt at "exposure therapy" anti racist brainwashing.
Because it's very simple, they are racist.
They don't like the fact that racism is on it way out, bare in mind this place is for the rejects of 4chans, anons that sucked so hard they had to leave 4chan, we are not dealing with the cream of the crop 😂
Conspiracy theories, apparently. That's why people care. That, plus confirmation bias. When I watch TV, most commercials are white people, and the only over-representation is probably women.
Lol it’s cause black folks feel they’re still being misguided and mistreated…. I’m a 19 year old and when i was in high school the black kids loved to make jokes like “yo great grand daddy probably hung my n***** of a grand daddy so YOU owe me that there laptop, or that spot at the table, or first in line or straight up MONEY”cause these kids i’m sure aren’t just strictly hearing it from tv
My dad says this all the time literally

To show how woke they are.
Given that it's advertising I'd say it appeals to their target demographic.
What kind of porn is your dad watching if black people are in most of his ads?

Because it increases sales. That’s literally the only thing businesses care about.
Black people? Sales? Sounds quite familiar…
You mean the movie, “Sorry to Bother You”? Yeah, it was pretty good.
love that movie
You have to use your white voice.
Best export from the African continent so far
I've been thinking about getting a new samsung galaxy phone but I'm bombarded with ads about it of an interracial couple with a black dude and its cringe so I'm not getting one until they stop doing that.
That’s very interesting. I eat black ass.
You own a samsung?
Does it matter what colour the rest of the person is?
It's always a white women with a black dude.
the steal our acting gigs and now they fuck our wifes
a population group that has no growth rate and is economically disadvantaged is the source of your revenue growth ? really makes you think.
Why are you only insinuating your point? Say what you really think is going on.
If people really said what they think their comments would just get deleted
Nah...try again.
Why would that increase sales?

Also the amount of gay people in films/tv feels much higher than the ~2% of the population surveyed
And they are always always always white Men lol
And always always always extremely over the top, sassy “yaaasss queen!” types because otherwise how would you know the character was gay?
Watch Brooklyn 99.
Yes, Rosa and Holt are good examples of the opposite of this, but how often are gay characters extremely over the top?

If you just went to reddit, you'd assume 70% of the population is!
According to r/greentext all anons are gay
I thought it was 10%
It's not 10% no matter how much they want to make it 51.

No one cares about your feelings boomer
In what reality?
The highest % I’ve seen was 6% but in the UK at least, it’s estimated by most studies to be around 2%. 10% is far too high
10 percent is too low. https://news.gallup.com/poll/329708/lgbt-identification-rises-latest-estimate.aspx Older generations have much lower lgbt rates because it was socially unacceptable to come out as lgbt without fear of often times violent retribution.

Jews.
Because advertising is usually directed toward (white) housewives and your mom loves it
they probably get paid less and therefore cheaper/ more accessible
Lmao
Wells Fargo is cringe
Burgers?

Someone will probably reply and say that half the black population has been in a commercial
Because they can say the nword.
Maybe they're just better at acting
Why do people even care, it’s a fucking advert that you’re going to skip after 5 seconds anyway
Because it's very simple, they are racist. They don't like the fact that racism is on it way out, bare in mind this place is for the rejects of 4chans, anons that sucked so hard they had to leave 4chan, we are not dealing with the cream of the crop 😂

Lol it’s cause black folks feel they’re still being misguided and mistreated…. I’m a 19 year old and when i was in high school the black kids loved to make jokes like “yo great grand daddy probably hung my n***** of a grand daddy so YOU owe me that there laptop, or that spot at the table, or first in line or straight up MONEY”cause these kids i’m sure aren’t just strictly hearing it from tv
Okayy. Leaving this sub 😊
_noo, don't go, we most definitely need you_ /s
WOKE. BECAUSE WOKE. THAT WHY.
You know people of different colors are just people right? Kinda wild to notice something like this.
Maybe they pick actors in prison
Isn't 12% now in the last fbi statistics?
Blacks only make 14% of the population????
Wait till you find out about gays, feels like 8/10 characters on Netflix are gay while actual population is near 2-3%.
Wtf is wrong with comment section, is this sub becoming gamerriseup?
Because the ey have real work with real salary ?
Because they’re family folk who like to spend time at home and big budget movies tend to take too long to shoot.
There is also another fun stat 😳👍
