no need to post an example...simply watch network TV. I've never seen such groupings in real life outside of some paid political focus group but in TV land all these diverse individuals are going on road-trips to music fests.
Every commercial on TV is a question of "how many race can we fit into a 30 second spot?"

not mad just confused.
on medical dramas you often see black-doctors in the multiples. go to any american hospital and try to find ONE black doctor....almost impossible.
same with these commercials. when will you ever see an asian man driving a muslim woman and old black grandmother to some fraternity party so they can all watch the Big Game? this alt-reality only exists in hollywood.

Its overrepresented with larping dingers playing roles that in reality are meant for middle-class white men.
We all know how where the majority of dingers find themselves and its their own fault as their shit existence ascribes to a degen culture of piss.👍 4Comment

I understand that commercials want to appeal to the broadest audience possible, so they'll show all races, all classes, etc.🟩 1Comment

Media wants to force one giant monoculture (in effect a nonculture) in the name of diversity. The ironic thing is the end result of this is destruction of diverse cultures as they will all melt away. If media and commercials reflected reality you would see different races interacting for work but much less so in friend groups and families. It would be like the old sitcoms where you have like Full House, Cheers, All in the Family where it's like 90% white people and then you'd have other sitcoms like Good Times, the Jeffersons, and Family Matters where it's like 90% black people.See Krackerjacked's sig🟩 1Comment

Exactly and there's nothing wrong with that. It's just whites though that get shamed for not having a "diverse friend group." I dgaf who blacks/latinos/asians/whoever hang out with. I dgaf if there are shows featuring homogenous casts of those races. Some of those all black sitcoms had quality writing, good values, and were entertaining. And hell I wouldn't even care if there were a couple of diverse shows that have a little bit of everything. But the current state of media is at least 3/4 of shows are forced diverse shows and that's probably a lowball estimate.See Krackerjacked's sig🟩 1Comment

I don't even watch TV anymore so I'm not exposed to this crap. Thankfully YT still has the strategy of targeted ads so my commercial breaks tend to be about technology/Christian products/fitness etc. Those ads are typically neutral for the most part or homogenous in a way I approve of.🟩 1👍 1Comment

The goal of business is to make profit aka Capitalism.
More people = More profit.
Why would you advertise to just one group of people?Comment

There's nothing confusing about it unless you're stupid.
More people = More profit. That's the basis of Capitalism.
If you were a shareholder, you'd welcome diverse commercials as that means more. CEOs don't give a shit about miscers' thoughts, they want more profit to get that bigger bonus to buy that bigger boat.Comment

Yeah after a while it just feels so unnatural and cartoonish. It's no wonder I am so disinterested in modern media these days. There's no realism or anything relatable about it really, makes sense comic book bullshit became so popular, it's all just pure modern day fantasy, the only thing they can come up with anymore or approve of.See Krackerjacked's sig🟩 1Comment

It doesn't really bother me. Couldn't give a shit about what race or creed characters are so long as they are well written. Adverts are always shit and have minimal influence on what I buy.
But the funny thing I find about casting is that even people outside of chronically online circles are getting to the point where they feel as though it's a trope unto itself to have mixed race couples and such. A few years ago, someone pointing it out would have been called a racist, now people casually joke about how they expect at least one black or mixed race person in every advert you see. You just know there are casting directors out there who will look at auditions and be like "we need to make sure there's at least one X and one Y, so that we can show that we're not racial discriminators"
And like someone above said, it also works from a sales perspective. Whether or not an individual cares about representation doesn't matter. Fact of the matter is that lots of people do, and including someone that looks like them in an advert increases the potential number of customers. So companies are going to try and appeal to as many demographics as they can.
The weirdest thing for me is when you see people complaining about a lack of diversity on foreign media, not understanding that not everywhere is America. Like if you see people commenting on shit like say, Japanese anime and video games, you will see people complaining that there's not enough black inclusivity to match American demographics and it's like uwotm8?Comment

my favorite is the UFO couple (white male with black woman)....as common as seeing a UFO IRL but on TV its not rare. they really need to be even more absurd and post what these wm/bf couples actually look like....
