Would you want to be the one taking the heat? You know that if you make the "bad guy" White you aren't going to be having letter writing campaigns, protest rallies etc. . . .

As it is, it seems that half the time when police are seeking the help of the public in apprehending said "bad guy" they don't want to release a photograph or give a description that mentions their race.

cause every time the real color or race is mentioned there is an uproar and crying and bitching from that said race.

LOL, the race of a PAID white ACTOR in a commercial bothers you ? I am sure many non-whites would love to appear in those commercials. Maybe non-whites should file a complaint with the Human Rights Comission.

Perhaps this is the media's attempt to counter some of the imbalanced representations of criminals only being from certain minority groups? I think they should start using actors who are not easily identifiable by a particular race/ethnicity :)

honestly these commercials are offensive, this is how white people are portrayed in the media they never use minorities for these roles in fact minorities are always portrayed in a positive light ( example notice the black security guard in the last video? ) its fuckin bullshit. you cant find one criminal in the media that is not white except in tv shows or movies.

Has anyone else noticed that on facebook, there is a side bar ad, for a criminal pardon service. And in the pic for the ad they actually use people from your friends list. Facebook has the right to use any and all images any way they see fit.

Could it be because the large majority of Canadians are white?

That is the correct observation, don't expect MSOG to understand that! For most jobs in Canada candidates will be drawn from the majority population which happens to be white!

It does not brown me off to be white.

There are criminals in every race. It seems that certain groups will always be associated with certain crimes. Just remember, crack didn't just magically appear in the ghetto.

MSOG must be drunk or just comfortable with the notion that only minorities commit crime..... You sound like a whiney bigot... Grow up!

its a proven fact violent crime like the type in these ads is committed more by minorities than white just read a newspaper. and btw, whenever they cast for a lead in a commercial etc they dont just pick anyone they specifically choose and actor based on their race, sex, and other things. Yeah, what a coincidence they never cast a black guy to play a criminal there are alot of black actors you know. anyone who believes otherwise is clueless or just being a stupid devils advocate.
