American Corporations direct their advertising dollars towards individuals and culture that will make them the most money. Not only the most money now, but in the future. The largest number of individuals that have disposable wealth. The people who are the drivers of our culture.
There have never been more ads with mixed race couples and minorities. Corporate America knows where the US is moving. It is not the way of Trumpism, sexism, racism, white supremacists, conspiracy theorists.
Corporate America is signaling the end of Trumpism. They do so based on the strength of the dollar, not any political agenda.
May the evils of Trumpism continue to fade away along with those who support it. It cannot happen fast enough

Explain how that country singer said racist things and his record sales are through the roof with white America
Morgan Wallen's music is more popular after he used the N-word. Country music and the US need to grapple with racism and teach anti-racist behavior.

I just want to know why progressives encourage more minorities to come here while also believing we're deeply racist.
If I truly thought America was really racist, I'd discourage non-whites from coming here.
I don't want more immigrants. Not until wages go up for blue collar Americans already here. Is corporate America saying they can't find enough workers to fill the jobs they have open?
You are deeply racist. That doesn't mean WE are.
We also believe corporate America is racist. BUT, we know there are a lot of companies who have implemented diversity programs. So while America is still very racist, it's getting better thanks to us.
If you don't want more immigrants, you're supporting the wrong party.
The more that "diversity programs" are pushed, the more it just encourages tribalism. Anti-white sentiment is part of the formula as well. If you're not white yourself, then I get it. If you are white, well, good luck -- you're going to need it when we reach South Africa's social paradigm.
Bullshit. Republicans aren't against legal immigration. As soon as the corporations tell them to import more they will.
And Republicans aren't against illegal employers. They play wack a mole with immigrants because it makes their racist base happy but they don't do a thing about illegal employers.
Oh I agree that the GOP doesn't do enough to prosecute employers of illegals. Neither party does.
The difference is that the Democrats want to go further with this. Amnesty for illegals is the end goal. They pushed a version of this with DACA. Others (like the DSA wing) want complete amnesty, which eventually entails citizenship.
Every time the media - or a Democrat - uses the phrase "Illegal Immigration" they are promoting one of Karl Rove's most potent Republican Party frames.

"Between 1999 and 2003, work-site enforcement operations were scaled back 95 percent by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, which subsequently was merged into the Homeland Security Department. The number of employers prosecuted for unlawfully employing immigrants dropped from 182 in 1999 to four in 2003, and fines collected declined from $3.6 million to $212,000, according to federal statistics.
"In 1999, the United States initiated fines against 417 companies. In 2004, it issued fine notices to three."
Based on these numbers Clinton was doing his job on this and Bush stopped.
Bush was pretty shitty, but so was Obama. Trump was better on this issue though.
This is why I don't think Trump was sincere about illegal immigration. You can't be if you are unwilling to go after illegal employers and I mean HARD.
The president is fine with an immigrant “invasion” when it’s benefitting him financially.

emonizing immigrants played a key role in
Donald Trump’s campaign for the presidency, just as cracking down on “illegal” border crossings and whipping the base into a frenzy over a so-called migrant “invasion” has been a regular feature of his time in office and
reelection efforts. But undocumented immigrants have also served another, lesser known but nevertheless vital function in the president’s life: providing cheap labor at his businesses. And not just, like, in years past, or in the first few months of his presidency, but as of—what’s that now?—
today. Yes, it’s a tough job to foam at the mouth daily about people entering the country without going through the proper channels first, use it to justify separating families and sending people back to nations they’ve
never known—all the while relying on them to keep your golf clubs running—but somebody’s got to do it!
The
Washington Post reports that the Trump Organization currently employs a “roving crew of Latin American employees” to perform masonry and maintenance work at his winery and various golf clubs around the country. For almost two decades, the group has been comprised of workers who came into the US illegally—the penalty for which the president
seemingly believes should be death—according to two former crew members. Another one, who still works for Trump, told reporters
Joshua Partlow and
David A. Fahrenthold that remains the case today. President Trump “doesn’t want undocumented people in the country,” said
Jorge Castro, an Ecuadorian immigrant without legal status who left the company last spring after nine years. “But at his properties, he still has them.” He added: “If you’re a good worker, papers don’t matter.”
