Have you not seen the Sephora commercial I refferrerd to in one of the above posts? Or are you so enamored with defending the perceived persecuted that its all OK with you.
It's OK if your boyfriend is black. We just don't want to be force fed that "every" couple is mixed these days. And that is the gist of the post. Everything that was once different is now being force fed to us as the norm. You knew that. You just think you are a great SJW. You are not.

I haven't seen the commercial and it wasn't germane to the discussion that you and I were having re: mixed race couples.

The gotdamn Germans got nothing to do with it.

Actually only YOU were having that discussion. It had morphed into a discussion on things that we once did not see a lot of on TV, now being force fed as the norm.

I for one would love to see a gay couple in Carey & Hamner commercials. To me it would show they actually care.

I thought it was a gay couple?

But are they mixed? That's where the money is!

Again, I was looking at it strictly from a trends in marketing standpoint. I'm kind of a geek in that area because it's interesting to me to see what advertisers do and use to reach people. Like I said, mixed couples don't bother me in any way, shape or form. It's just that marketing in general has made a huge and obvious move in that direction. I'm guessing that when the concept for the commercial doesn't call for a large group of people, they can get the diversity point across using only a couple.

Pretty much everything George Corley Wallace predicted has come to pass.

That's all I'm saying about that.

So you're going to stop using gay couples in your lawyer commercials and go to straight mixed couples?

If I could just find a mixed, gay couple, I'd be golden.

The real answer that nobody wants to hear is that the marketing trends are set so as to not offend the not so silent millienials and social justice warriors. For the most part, those of us who are bookfaces challenged will complain amongst ourselves or maybe in a forum like this when we feel our ideals/policies/thoughts are being ignored, but we are afraid to swim in the deep twitter waters.

They also know that we are to old fat and lazy to riot and loot their stores.

I like to rock n roll all night and part of every day. I usually have errands... I can only rock from like 1-3.
