COMMUNITY Why do you think there are so many commercials with interracial couples/families

[Dwayne]

It’s usually black women and white men

Asian women with a white man

Asian man with a black women etc..

Rarely do you see a black man with another race of woman because people would flip

:smh:

Speak your mind instead of using memes

In regards to commercials you see black men with white or other race of women as often as the other way around?

 

[5th Letter]

You said "not true" when I said black women date outside their race the least

This is two different things you’re conflating

Oh my bad. I thought you was saying in real life.

But most commercials is still black man and white women when it comes to interracial content

The last black man white woman commercial I saw was the Cheerios commercial and that received backlash from white males.

The idea of a black man being the head of the household of a woman of another race (especially a white woman) attracts a lot of negative attention in the media..

People can theorize all day as to why is such..

They ran that lil girl off the internet too for the cheerios commercial

 

[5th Letter]

In commercials they show a lot of LGBT too and if they’re an interracial couple the black man is usually the woman of the relationship, if it’s women the black women are the men of the relationship. There’s something to that.

Wait, what all happened?

 

[Northside7]

I mean, this doesn't really seem that hard to figure out. Because representation matters and for the longest time, interracial couples were not only underrepresented, their was a dedicated effort to NOT represent them at all. Now the world has shifted its understanding of representation so now you are seeing more and more commercials featuring interracial couples. Some people feel like it's an overcorrection.

The shit doesn't really need a deep dive.

C/S. And it's not only interracial couples getting representation. A lot of LGBT and people with disabilities getting that representation.

Making sure certain bloodlines survive the sun.

Plain and simple.

The blond hair, blue eye people?

You know if say you wouldn't date a person because they have a severe disability you are called a ableist or something like that.

Imagine how happy my nigga Chuck would've been to see himself represented in a TV commercial and shit! Nigga would've been sending mental messages to all the producers, thanking them and shit.
