So you retract your statement that the race of actors in a TV commercial doesn't matter, right?
No I don't. It doesn't matter because all the commercials aren't one race.
But you admit that it would matter if they were all white - so it matters. But you don't understand why or when it matters; you're a phony, woke, liberal.
Race matters anytime decisions are made for reasons other than selling the product. When race is chosen to protect the company or when race is chosen specifically to matter then it matters. When the message is race, then the race matters.
Do the ad agencies pick the top two auditions and make them a couple, regardless of race or sex? When we see two men kissing in a commercial, were they simply the top two candidates as in a California election? When we see a mixed race couple, were they simply the top two candidates? No; they were chosen for a message and the message isn't about the product.
If I'm doing a commercial for Black Radiance makeup products, then choosing a black couple is about the product. If I choose a black couple for a race-agnostic product then I might be targeting that soothing feeling mentioned about black faces for black people - once again, a reasonable choice. But when the message of the race is "look at us; we're not racist and we dare you to make a comment" then, of course, they actually are racist.
