Why are there so many black people in nearly every advertisement on TV?
This disproportionate ratio is blatantly misleading and displaying an agenda
Of intent that is discomfiting.

Could it 'be' any more racist?

:0)

[gness]

I would much rather people be honest and say….I’m racist….rather than the so often spouted….I’m not racist but…….

[jno]

just so, Chinajan.

If you think there's a problem, how do you suggest adverts are monitored and controlled to ensure the correct ethnic representations are maintained?

As for there being a Big Brother behind it all, where's the evidence for that?

[Mozz71]

Firstly, my first thought was exactly the same as Naomi's @ 23:22.

More prevalent to the thread, why does it matter, especially in advertisements? It's not something I particularly notice (not that I watch many ads, I don't watch too much live tv), and can't imagine it being an issue unless some is specifically on the look out for such things. I remember a similar thread a few months back, complaining about too many mixed ethnicity couples in adverts. Is it really that big an issue? I don't see the problem.

[dave50]

The reason people say 'I'm not a racist but' is because they know as soon as they voice an opinion that involves race, they will almost certainly be accused of racism and will be shouted down.

[gness]

That really is not the reason, Dave.

[naomi24]

I’m not entirely sure what Chinajan means because anything that determines acceptance or rejection on grounds of ethnicity is racist. In this case, television companies, having openly declared their intention to increase ‘diversity’ are making efforts to award jobs using that as their criteria. That is racist.

Dave is right. Anyone who voices an opinion that involves race is accused of racism and that so often results in concerns being silenced as is evidenced by David’s departure. He has, in effect, been shouted down.

Mozz asks ‘Does it matter?’ Well, it clearly matters to the television companies who have declared their intention to employ more people from the ethnic minorities - and I’ve no doubt it matters quite a lot to people who apply jobs but are rejected, not because they’re not good enough, but because they fail to meet the ethnic requirement.

Those who are shouting the loudest may be interested to see that poor white children are also being neglected in favour of ethnic minorities - but they might not. That could be just a little bit too realistic for comfort.
