I was watching a movie on Pluto TV a few months ago. Every commercial was either related to, or featured LGBTQXYZ type people/products.  Not sure why they target 100% of their advertising to 3% of the population. Their company, their rules...I guess.

People don't think like it is, but it do. I worked a short stint at a place where the blue haired hambeast had me in her sights and continually complained to management about me. But I was their favorite since I was a sucker and took care of the shit nobody else wanted. 6'4" master race, tall dark and handsome. I swear to God, she tried to start shit with me every chance she could get. It was really strange. Other girls had flirted casually with me and it drove her nuts. She was the epitome of a karen who couldn't get what she wanted, so she chose to try and destroy me. Seriosuly the weirdest fucking shit I've ever encoutered

I never watch TV.  Last month I visited friends, watched several hours of TV with their kids.  85% of the actors were black, brown, Asian.  There were many gays or gay couples.  The only white women in relationships were in relationships with black men.  The only white men were either older fat morons or young wimpy guys.

The propaganda is real.

It seems like corporations are going overboard with the minority actors and actresses.  It seems like a slap in the face on how blatant the pandering and corporate woke is.  

I counted on one commercial break and it was like 20 minority actors and actresses versus like 3 white people.   Amazon had 100% African Americans in their 15$ minimum wage commercial.

Wife and I noticed it a while back and it has become more obvious. Maybe it went back longer and we didn't notice because we don't watch live tv - we record everything and skip the commercials.

We started to see that nearly ever commercial that involved a family (cars, eating at home, etc.) showed a mixed family. I guess they're trying to say that is the norm. I don't have any issues with mixed couples and I know a few, but I also recognize they're still in the minority as compared to the rest of society. The media make it look like they are the majority though and have gone from under represented to over represented. I suppose my wife and I could be considered mixed (are we?) with her being a Pacific Islander and me being from Cuba. Maybe I should protest not being represented and go set a few buildings on fire.

And then you have all the LGBTQLMNOP commercials. I saw one recently with a tatted biker type dude in a hot tub joined by his black significant other. Unreal.

My favorite was the commercial for a new psorasis medication featuring a black man.

Thing is, psorasis is pretty much a white guy disease. It would be like me doing a commercial for a sickle cell anemia cure.

The hard reality that so many struggle to accept is that black people, brown people and gay people are part of America. They are here. They're going to stay. In fact, they're increasing as a share of the population. They're going to participate in the economy, provide services, shop in stores, etc. They will go to our schools and churches. They will work alongside us at our workplaces. They will marry our sons and daughters. In short, they are us.

Everybody likes to talk about America as great melting pot, until it's time to stir in the other ingredients. Well, America is no longer a predominantly white culture where "others" are expected to remain in the shadows (or the servant's quarters).

I know it's difficult to accept, but it's a fact. Get over it.

Corporations have no soul, no ethics. They exist to make money, and to follow the trends that make money.

Right now, the trend is to show how diverse you are by showcasing lots of monitors, in hopes that minorities and liberals will give you money. Conservative money is just a built-in.

Once Latinos become a bigger and more attractive demographic than the blacks, expect far less diversity.

Generation after generation of low and working-class Americans have looked over their shoulders afraid that the next group of immigrants, upwardly mobile demographics was gaining on them. That attitude has never served anyone well. It's based on a belief that others are responsible for one's success or failure. It reflects a lack of self determination. Fear of others is nothing more than the flip side of the lack of self confidence coin.

ETA: Do you really think America is dying? Are you suggesting that efforts to make society more inclusive is responsible for that? Really? Would you really want to go back to the past?

They are being used as politically correct props by Ad agencies, they know it, everyone knows it, if any of those actors had any integrity or self worth they would be not only feel embarrassed being used like this, but be outraged at these racist companies audacity.

But yes, I do laugh at all the commercials that show blacks even though they aren't even close to being in the target demographic.

No doubt.   One of the emails I get is Talbots, a luxury women's clothing company that is VERY classic and mainstream.  They almost always have a black woman model first on the list of stuff they are selling in the email.   I wouldn't be surprised if black women are less than 1% of their customer base.  It is probably less than .01%.

I think that's obvious. As America is becoming more racially, ethnically, and culturally diverse, the ties that bind are disappearing.
Many times I've said, future historians will look back on our little experiment, and (hopefully) realize that homogeneity was far more important than anyone wanted to admit.

A comedian and juggler once joked that the hatchet he used in his act was the one Washington used to chop down the cherry tree. He'd only replaced the handle... and the head.
If you take away everything that makes America "America", is it still America anymore?
You can't profoundly change the racial, ethnic, and cultural make-up of a country without profoundly changing the country.

You and three friends hop into a car with four working steering wheels.
You start the car and say, "Let's go get something to eat."
What happens next... is multiculturalism.

Oh, and I bet my wife would love to have lived forty or fifty years ago. The idea that women of years past were abjectly miserable is largely a Leftist/liberal myth.
And your comment about blacks and water fountains... when did the yardstick for measuring America's success become "how happy black people are with it?"

You are correct. They don’t. They increase their bottom line by pandering to the fifty-plus percent of the white population that panders to sixteen percent of the population that is black or gay.  White people are their own worst enemy.

Has nothing to do with increasing sales in the traditional sense, since the “go woke; go broke” thing is real, it’s more than simply increasing this quarters sales and traditional notions about marketing.

It’s not targeting nor pandering, it’s programming and promoting whatever is statistically the most dysfunctional option there is.

It’s designed to corrode and deconstruct the building blocks of society in order to more easily rule over a society of broken individuals.

And regarding the trend (rule?) of always showing a black guy with a white girl — again, it’s not about “diversity” (because there are many other diverse combos of races they could show) and it’s not pro-black per se, nor is it anti-white per se — it’s simply whatever is statistically proven to be the most dysfunctional.  That’s what the media masters promote.

Exactly.
Look at any college class dealing with feminism, LGBT issues, black studies, etc... it's all just Marxism, with certain key words and phrases changed to fit the room it's being pitched to.
Marxists always target "The Other." The disenfranchised, those who feel disenfranchised, the outsiders. (Look at an Antifa rally. Ever wonder why most of them look like freaks and losers?)
They've been using race, gender, sexually identity, as wedges with which to split American society for decades. (Look at the early Civil Rights movement. It was riddled with Communists.)
The Left thought the Revolution would come from labor. But, they also weren't content to put all their eggs in one basket.
Imagine our society as a submarine, and Marxism as the ocean - surrounding us, pressuring us, always looking for a way in.
