Noticing that a lot of 2018 commercials seem to be promoting Interracial Couples

[fbj]

Either it's a black woman and a white man or a black man and a white woman. It does seem like black women and white man is promoted the most.

Wonder why?

Because the people selling products want to appeal to more customers.

They are making a new normal. The object is to make whites in a relationship with whites slightly uncomfortable.

about 8% of marriages are interracial, what percentage are they in commercials?

I hadn't really noticed..my viewing habits tend to places where there are no commercials..so I turned the tv on and watched some network programming. Indeed, by my count, 12 commercials featuring inter-racial couples in 6 hours.

I would venture to guess that they are trying to reach the widest demographic possible..and this is intriguing!

It's a hard data point..that says that the demographics are changing..and the hard-headed dollars and cents folk are attempting to ride the wave of change.

Not good news for the fringe Right--their time is passing quickly--which might explain some of the frenzy.

If it pisses off racist assholes, then I’m all for it.

When you're talking about commercials and advertisement, money should probably always be looked at as the prime motivator.

Yes, that is what it is. The people who pay millions of dollars to make and show commercials don't give a damn about social nonsense. They want to attract new customers and get their money.

You think the top people at GM, General Foods, Verizon or Pfizer give a damn who is uncomfortable or not? They want people's money. Period.
