    Why are Caucasians Vanishing in TV Commercials?

    An interesting article! I had put a couple of articles from this site before and both were deleted by the mods...The site appears to be very conservation but that is no reason to not allow it. Waiting to see if this is deleted and the reason why specifically and not just have it deleted by the mods. Not trying to cause a problem, but if this or other conservative articles are or have been deleted please explain that there is a rule violated by relating and posting them here!

    Commercials take up 27% of commercial television screen time and are the main source of income for TV and radio stations. In most cases, advertisements on all channels appear simultaneously, so don't try to change the channel, there will be commercials elsewhere, too. Nowadays they have also taken over the Internet. For financial support, websites have to run ads on their pages, the largest share supplied and controlled by Google. Ads pry into your eyes, unceremoniously interfere with text, and on YouTube, in the most inappropriate places, they cut into the action of films, lectures, and concerts, tearing apart musical performances. There's no escaping commercials, we've grown accustomed to them, and they become almost as much a part of our lives as food, toilets, and sleep.

    In the United States today, the White population (not including Hispanics) is 57.8%. In real life, Caucasians are still in the majority, but now on TV and the Internet, they are swept under the rug like trash. Blacks comprise 14% of the U.S. population but appear in 50% of commercials. White actors now appear to promote health insurance, gold, loans, and some medicines. Moreover, if a White person appears in a commercial, he/she is usually old, sick, a freak, or at the very least, an appendage to a Black partner. If there's a doctor on the screen, he's usually Black, while the patient is usually White. Caucasian young men appear in only 4% of the commercials! If some aliens began to study the population of Planet Earth through our TV commercials they would have a somewhat distorted picture of Americans, to put it mildly.

    So why do advertisers ignore the long-standing rules of marketing, and to the detriment of their own financial interests, fill the media space with content that displaces and degrades its biggest market segment? The answer is simple. At the heart of this nonsense is political correctness in a form even an Orwell could not have foreseen. Business executives go out of their way to publicly show their conformity with the universal ?diversity? and "critical racial theory" (CRT), demanding that the White man be blamed for all the sins one can imagine. Replacing ancient, long-vanished oppression of Blacks with real oppression of Whites, overcompensating and planting racism-in-reverse.

    Why does the White population, which is still in the majority in the U.S., accept the banishing and belittling obediently and silently? Why is there no public criticism, much less resistance to the idiocy? Why don?t people don?t tell political correctness to go to hell? After all, the U.S. is not Stalin's USSR, and anyone who disagrees with the party is not yet sent to a camp or shot. Why is there such stifling conformity among the American people, formerly known for their independence and freedom of speech? The answer is simple and sad: the reason is fear, albeit on a more vegetarian level than it was under Soviet rule.

    Ordinary people keep their mouths shut for fear of losing their jobs, not getting a holiday bonus, not getting promoted, or being socially ostracized This is understandable, and I wouldn't blame them, although I wouldn't respect them either. But what are people of higher position afraid of ? the heads and owners of businesses? What is threatening them? Indeed, nobody is going to drive them out of their positions or take their business, though fear of boycotts can be realistic. They are afraid of various inconveniences: negative articles in the leftist press, social shunning, frivolous lawsuits, loss of state and federal licenses, government contracts, unexpected audits by the IRS, fines for alleged violations of minorities? rights, and the like small and large troubles.

    Maybe it's because whites are the least racist of ethnic groups and will buy products pitched by the other races, whereas the reverse has been found (through market surveys) to be less true?

    There, feel better?

          American Thinker...sounds like an oxymoron.

          People don't watch broadcast television, for the reason that there are commercials in the first place. What fossils are writing this BS?

              You don't think whites are the least racist ethnicity? Well I'm white and it doesn't bother me who they cast in the commercial.

                had a nice reply typed up and the goblins ate it,


                togor is correct, (hurts to type that,,,,,,)

                white man may complain about the brown woman or man selling a tube of toothpaste,,, but will still continue to buy the toothpaste,

                meanwhile the more racists folks of color may boycott crest cause colgate has a browner person using it,


                funny how that works,

                ray surely you have noticed that

                    Sorry but caucasian is a word I never use and seldom see.

                    Everytime I see the heading of this thread I think "crustacean". Living near the Gulf Coast it's a term I'm more apt to use.

                    I never have any problems entertaining myself. Yes, crustaceans have all but vanished from commercials.

                      The OP is correct that "political correctness" plays a part, not the only part but a part.

                      One reason, possibly, is that non Hispanic whites are slowly declining as a percentage of the population.

                      I have a friend that's upset about the number of inter-racial couples in commercials. I suspect there are two reasons for that, in addition to my above comments - there are more inter-racial couples today and by using an inter-racial couple you get a "two-fer," demographically speaking.

                      Frankly how a company advertises doesn't bother me much, especially the skin shade of the performers they get to hawk their products.

                      Why is golf shown on TV despite low audience ratings?? It's because golf is played by people with disposable income so viewership is a bit less of an issue.

                      Ultimately its about the money.

                        The things I miss by not having TV at home. Saw the Marvel movie Eternals, it had a same sex couple-black-with a child. All those years I spent reading Mad left me very skeptical about advertising, like TV and movies, they depict a fantasy world, the way some people would like it to be.
