Do they absolutely have to put a person of colour in every commercial and every movie now?

[VforVindication]

Why would it be considered racist if they put only whites from time to time? In that recent Coca-Cola commercial, you see a group of Asians eating at a table and a group of blacks eating at a table. And when it comes down to the white group, you have blacks mixed in with them. Why?

[NaultD]

Profit.

100 years of white commercials was the Profit making move. With every minority in abject poverty that don't even have tvs, why have any other commercial? There is a reason why Flintstone didn't promote menthol cigarettes.

It's really only after the 90's there was a beginning of diverse commercial that was already decades behind actually entertainment diversity that was star trek. 70s and 80s actors in the programming.

Now we are in the 2020s. A mix family is what hits home and maximize profits selling breakfast cereal.

That's what companies do in a capitalist society, maximize profits. If it makes a single dollar more That's the correct way. "In god we trust" is printed on every bill so every individual dollar given or taken is a blessing from god.

[CALIGVLA]

I thought you (pseudo) leftists were critical of capitalism!

[VforVindication]

@CALIGVLA What? I am a leftist now?

[VforVindication]

I do not see how the majority white population would prefer seeing mixed couples. If you think most people are in favour of that, you are totally wrong. Look it up, you will see that most people are appalled by that. Just goes to show that Corporations have turned on the white demographic.

[CALIGVLA]

@VforVindication Nah. I was talking about this piece of 💩 called @naultd, who poses as a leftist while being actually a neocon.

[NaultD]

@CALIGVLA it's called being ironic. Who the fuck thinks in god we trust is a good idea on money. 1960 conservatives.

I am a hardcore leftist. It dosen't take a genius to know what a corporation is wanting. It's money no real question or quorums about it. It's just a capitalist pig finding another meal. What else is their to say? A bear shits in the woods, a corporation paying $5 million on ads want to make $15 million it really is that simple.

[VforVindication]

Going by your logic they should be promoting Asians way more than blacks. Blacks are far from being the richest. They cannot even run well functioning countries ffs.

[Soteris]

The reason corporations put people of color into advertisements is not because they want to avoid accusations of racism but because they want to earn more money. Crazy eh? A corporation being profit motivated, such a radical idea. Rightly or wrongly, depending on who you ask, the current belief of corporations is to aggressively embrace multiculturalism for bigger profits.

[VforVindication]

It would make sense if these people were the majority in our countries but they are not. Might as well only show blacks, Asians and Pakistanis going by your logic.

[Soteris]

Again, it makes no difference what reality is. All that matters is what corporations THINK is more likely to make them more money. If its because they have already gotten all the white people by their balls and also want to capture the other ethnicity as customers or not is up for you to decide but it all comes back to them being convinced this is the best decision for them to make more money.

[Adaeva]

They don't have to but they do because they are racists.

[VforVindication]

They must be to only show white men as either total morons or homosexuals in all their fucking commercials. There is more to white men than just homosexuals (which is a tiny percentage) and total brain dead morons (white men created most inventions we use today).

[SpringValley]

The woke love certain types of racism.

[VforVindication]

It is obviously racism directed at white people, especially white straight males. I honestly believe that equality cannot exist. There will always be an ethnic group ruling over the others. It is like this in every country.

[SpringValley]

I agree.

[Anonymous]

No, but they seems to be hellbent on doing so. Take Disney for example, compare the skin color of the characters in say for example Frozen. Then compare it to other Disney movies like Moana, Raya and the last dragon or Encanto. Now look at the box offices. I'm not a fan of Frozen personaly, but that movie is undeniably far more popular than their more recent woke pandering

[VforVindication]

Thank you, my point exactly. I remember seeing that movie playing on a tv at Walmart at the time. I asked the girl what movie that was, she told me it was Frozen. It was so damn good. So much better than the woke crap they force down our throats nowadays.

[VforVindication]

I would give you the MHO but it seems that the site has given it to someone with a different opinion than us.

[jshm2]

Yes.

Poor bigoted White trash like you aren't a profitable market to advertise to. You'll buy the same shit your father and grandfather bought, even if it costs you health and productivity.

POC tend to be progressive and not live in the past. They will try new things and make better things. They are a worthwhile market to advertise to.

[VforVindication]

There goes the bigoted piece of trash comment. Let me guess, you are black? You blacks are nothing special. Look at Haiti without the white man to save the black man. You people are beneath us.

[exitseven]

it really is irritating. What is worse is that all the new TV shows make it seem like everyone is gay.

[VforVindication]

So true, and those damn drag queen shows with pedo sick offenders who fill little kids minds with this evil repulsive degeneracy.

[inhua]

apparently yes. we all "need" some type of representation. it's only an issue when there's too many straight white people, no one says anything about too many black or Asian people or gay people.

[VforVindication]

That is a blatant lie. They would not and cannot stop showing white straight males on Tv. Besides, the tide is turning back to how it was. The woke movement has failed in every aspect of its existence.

[inhua]

yeah you're right. there's too many straight white males on TV. if we need to get rid of them.

[VforVindication]

No, we need much more of them.

[snackthatsmilesback]

"A" person of color? That's literally the lowest possible number of inclusion. And you're upset about having even that? Man it's not even that deep it's just marketing. Diversity sells better than just white people rn. That's all.

[VforVindication]

Like i said, they do not have to put a black guy in every movie or show or commercial. It is not necessary. They will not lose money at all. You have no proof to back up your statement.

[snackthatsmilesback]

If it wasn't profitable, most businesses wouldn't do it. Simple as that. I don't have to prove that most businesses primary motivation is money. Whatever they do, as a business, is most likely because it makes money. In fact if you think that's NOT why, then you should have to prove it. Why else would so many do it lol it only makes sense what I'm saying

[VforVindication]

Prove to me that movies like NOPE and others are more profitable. They are definitely not. Just like feminist movies are not more profitable. How do you know these corporations, producers and distributors are not losing money. You can't. The saying go woke, go broke is not bullshit.

[snackthatsmilesback]

I'm not a financial analyst. Are you? Then proving it I can't do and you couldn't understand anyway. You asked for opinions. My opinion is it seems pretty obvious businesses want money. And they do things they think will make money. So right now, there is obviously a market for diverse and even non-white movies and advertisements. Your opinion is, the saying "go woke go broke" okay? Not all businesses succeed in their goals. That doesn't mean they were trying to fail lol

[VforVindication]

I think they turned their backs on whites. Not the fact that they are making more money. Most blacks are poor ffs.

[snackthatsmilesback]

Lol OK. So according to you, a ton of businesses just decided "yeah the people with money? We don't like them. Fuck us." Sure 🥥

[VforVindication]

Disney is losing tons of money right now, cinemas are losing tons of money, target/bud light/Gillette/Coca-Cola, etc. have all lost a ton of money. Most profitable movies nowadays are movies with white main actors in them like Mission Impossible and all the pro diversity ones, for the most part, don't do as well. And don't even get me started with feminist movies.

[sassy_receptor]

why does it bother you?

[VforVindication]

Why does this question bother you?

[sassy_receptor]

you’re the one who made this whiny ass post

[VforVindication]

Then stop whining about my post.

[sassy_receptor]

no one whined. i just asked why it bothered you😂

[sassy_receptor]

you’re the only one whining here

[VforVindication]

You must be against free speech. That is sad.

[sassy_receptor]

i’m not. i just asked why seeing diversity bothered you. that’s such a strange thing to be bothered about especially at your age.

[sassy_receptor]

like you should be bothered about bills and providing and staying happy. instead you’re complaining because… you see minorities on tv? sounds like something a child complains about

[VforVindication]

You should not even care about what i have to say and concentrate on your life. I have freedom of speech, therefore i can talk about this subject.

[VforVindication]

And if they truly are a minority then why do i see so many of them on Tv? I should see less of them.

[SmokinAces2000]

I see commercials with most or all white people in it all the time, sounds like you just have a problem with minorities in commercials

[VforVindication]

Then i do not see the same commercials as you do. I heard a black guy say that he saw a lot of black women with white men in commercials. That statement was odd to me because it is not the case for me. Maybe they have technology that makes everyone's experience watching commercials different.

[SmokinAces2000]

Like I said you have a problem with minorities being in commercials

[VforVindication]

No not at all, we should be seeing them but not in every commercial ffs. That is just exaggerated.

[SmokinAces2000]

Almost anywhere you go you will see a minority not to mention that the places these commercials are filmed and produced are generally very diverse so obviously you won’t just get all white people in the commercial 🙄

[VforVindication]

There are way less blacks and Asians in our countries than depicted in their commercials. You would think that whites are the minority going by the commercials. It truly is exaggerated. We are not in Africa or Asia. Go watch their commercials and tell me if you see a lot of white people in their commercials.
