Why are white people (esp white men) not allowed in commercials anymore?

[Concerned American]

This ridiculous, unwarranted fear of diversity and inclusion among the racist right – it’s one of countless reasons why conservatism is the true threat to the American nation.

Diverse as long as it doesn't include white people eh? You are as transparent as they come, racist.

Watch any commercial, for any product, and you rarely see white people in them. The white people that do appear tend to be white celebrities.

So to combat minority misrepresentation in the past, we are going to discriminate against white people? What about they little white girl or boy with big dreams of acting? They had nothing to do with slavery or Jim Crow… why is she/he not getting an equal chance?

You can’t beat racism with racism! It defeats ur point!

Because we live in the world of "equity" and not "equality".

But you missed the beginning where they beat up a black family and stole their car

What commercial did you try to or intend to audition for?

The one where I

I watch anything I want, free online. And none of it has commercials.
If it does, it's maybe one or two irellavant commercials nobody pays attention to anyway.
Usually, the only commercials I will get are on Tubi. All the other sites I use to watch shows and movies don't have any commericals.

And with that........the commercials I DO see, which is rare, are usually white women talking about "that smell" and having to rub something in thier crack to get rid of it. It's literally hysterical. I thought it was a joke, but it is apparently a real commercial.

youtube and all the “free” and paid for streaming services (but for Netflix) has commercials.

POC's are grossly over-represented, as are inter-racial relationships. Interestingly, the Black Female-white male couple is very prominent, although in reality it is the least common interracial match.

Those who write scripted television and films feel they have the obligation to portray reality as they think it ought to be, which is one thing. For advertisers to potentially antagonize the customer base with unreal "woke" casting makes no logical sense at all. Victoria's Secret imploded when they decided to use fat women and fat POC's in their advertising.

We will see how it all turns out.

There is nothing wrong with increased diversity, but only if it is based on the actor/actress’s merit! Discriminating solely on white skin is just as wrong as discriminating on black skin.
