Commercials on TV don't show white couples.

...I think my problem is with the media's over-woke portrayals....

How about companies trying to appeal to as wide a customer base as possible? Na, must be that woke conspiracy.

Now that you mention it, I do notice a lot of "height challenged" people in TV commercials now.

Avery Haines:
"After regaining her composure, she made a joke but the camera was still on. Haines retaped the segment, but later that day, a CTV technician mistakenly aired the tape that included the error and the comment. On 17 January, Haines was fired from CTV Newsnet after her comments sparked controversy."

This is nothing more that 'woke' culture run amok, and is driven largely out of fear of being seen as politically incorrect. Diversity in commercials at large should be expected as it's the right to do, but it seems like every representation of family or relationships MUST now absolutely be of mixed race/mixed gender as a standard. The problem is that this is far from the actual reality of the world, and specifically North America.

Yes, there are growing numbers and growing societal acceptance of mixed race/mixed gender familial constructs, but they remain a huge minority in context. These commercials feel like woke subliminal brainwashing to me sometimes, like they are trying to indoctrinate me with the idea that this is typical, and not outside the current state of normal.

What annoys me about this behaviour is that it seems to ignore an uncomfortable truth when selling 'inter' as typical and/or 'the norm'. That truth is that while it is mostly whites who have shifted their mindsets into the acceptability category, non-white cultures really have not. Blacks, browns, and asians still all very much prefer relationships, marriages, and families that stay within their own.

Introduction of whites (or other cultures) into black/brown/Asian cultures is still very much opposed to seeing 'outsiders' joining their communities, if not their faiths. Blacks want to see blacks marry other blacks. Same with browns and asians.

I have quite a few white friends who have either experienced directly, or have conveyed stories about their own family members who tried to establish and maintain a mixed relationship only to find themselves largely unwelcome in in the other culture and who met stiff resistance and even overt opposition when trying to integrate into the non-white culture.

Unfortunately in 2021, we as whites are never supposed to ever talk about that though, and if we do, we're immediately branded 'phobic', culturally insensitive, supremacists, and/or racist.


These commercials, in their current form, are simply deliberate misrepresentations of the truth in society.

Out of curiosity, when was the last time you saw a Black, Asian, or Brown couple at the park playing or walking down the sidewalk with their adopted alternate-race child?

Frankly, this mass media onslaught to convert everyone into a virtual signalling, politically correct, and woke activist is getting pretty tired.

The last few years ive seen a LOT of black man/white female couples,a few black man/Asian females,hardly ANY South Asians males or females with a white partner. But then again I don't live in the GTA area.

Yes, it's gone overboard. We need some semblance of balance.

And I believe 50 years ago people were saying "there are no discrimination". There was discriminations on the past and there is a reverse discrimination now. Like college fellowships just for blacks but no fellowships just for whites.

ROFL - that makes zero sense.

(there remains no such thing as "reverse discrimination")

You can either tell a light is red... or tell that it is green.


Either way it is merely "discrimination" (often times of the sort which preserves your life).

I agree, discrimination is discrimination. It is just the current discriminations against while males is called "reverse discrimination" to distinguish it from past discrimination against blacks nd women. But you are right, it is just discrimination in its purest form. It even makes itself into legal states of public institutions and in speeches given by world leaders (a prime example is Biden's decision on vice-president or Trudeau decision on ministers - all were done taking into account the race and gender)

Looks light a commercial for Bud Light.

It's all part of the master plan of the Red Chinese, in partnership with Google. The Left are their oblivious stooges.

Left this, left that.
Is the left your enemy? Your enemy is Russia and China you shallow minded turbot.

Three rights do make a left, even though two wrongs seldom make a right. Probably a right brain/left brain kind of thing...
