Why always white males?
23 Answers
We have all seen the Goverment's increasing numbers of TV commercials that aim to give out some form of message, be it Anti-Smoking, Anti Drinking, Anti Drugs etc. etc.
I refer mainly to the latest one on Abuse, this really does make me cringe. The main perpetrators in this are white males, why?
I think this is offensive to the majority of white males, always labeling them Wife abusers, Child abusers and like. Would it not be PC to occasionally identify them as females or black? I am sure females and black persons can also do their fair share of abusing.
After all we all see demands for fair representation for females and black persons in other acting roles. Or is it if it only puts them in a favourable light?

White people are as a rule generally richer and thus can afford a better education as such economically and socially we are quite strong and so are able to suffer the sleights of press misreprensentation for what they are, examples of a type of behaviour that are for all social groups etc.
I do remember "Goodness Gracious Me" doing a scene were a westernised Indian woman was turned back into an easternised Indian woman and this was demonstrated by her ability to take a punch by her husband, all things considered I think men are rather poorly portrayed in the media regardless of colour.
Given the lack of positive male role models in many houses the need for such men to be promoted is greater now than ever before.
As a child my hero was (and still is) Martin Luther King I can remember plain as day the first time I heard the "I have a dream" speech, hairs on the back of my neck are standing up with just that memory right now.
