Why So Many Black People in Commercials?
Why So Many Black People in Commercials?
Whenever I watch TV, particularly daytime TV, I notice most commercials have more black people than White, especially if it's a car or drug commercial. Why not portray them in correct proportions? I've heard that only about 5 corporations make all the commercials, but I can't find who they are or how to contact them.
Re: Why So Many Black People in Commercials?
This might be helpful to you... White people are a minority ethnicity in the U. S.
And, look who's watching TV
I'm curious, what would you tell someone who makes TV commercials?

Re: Why So Many Black People in Commercials?
Phony numbers, first of all. Secondly, is it good that all some blacks do is watch TV? Thirdly, I wouldn't tell them anything. I would ask them why the distortion, why the pandering. What are they afraid of?

What makes you say those numbers are phony?

Do you really think only 40% of this country is White? Look around you. Besides that, until recently Hispanics mostly were considered White.

Based on your name, I'm sure you don't want your industry labeled for what it is, a big distortion of reality.

The Hispanic population as of 2020 in the U.S. is 18.7 percent and the African American population is 12.4 percent, so I agree that the pie chart is "phony."
I have no reason to dispute the bar graph from Nielsen, though.

Not only is the pie chart phony it says it's phony at the bottom of the chart for crying out loud.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Wed Sep 21, 2022 4:54 pmThe Hispanic population as of 2020 in the U.S. is 18.7 percent and the African American population is 12.4 percent, so I agree that the pie chart is "phony."

Re: Why So Many Black People in Commercials?
The bar chart represents average hours per month.
So while blacks lead in hours per month on average they are far from total hours watched because they are only about 13% of the population.

Good points, Craig. I failed to read the fine print.

This seems to have accelerated after the summer race riots of 2020. Since then, a lot of people have been bending over backwards trying not to be called racist.

Is this thread real life? There's no way. We're being trolled.
