Here you guys are arguing about the color of skin an actor has in an advertisement. When you should be arguing for the banning of all advertising. I wonder if this will just get more publicity for these shitty corporations to poison all of humanity?

Doesn’t that mean it was corporate pandering all along?

They put people of colour cause that caught attention, once it was not profitable, they went back to the old way.

Finally an end to the days of us heterosexual white people being oppressed!

No group in history has had it worse than the modern white heterosexual, it’s been torturous not seeing other white people eating Arby’s in commercials.

These aren't just commercials with "white representation," they are promoting eugenics. Seriously, go watch them. It's not even subtle.

Edit: getting downvoted on Lemmy for rightly pointing out that these ads are evoking eugenicist ideas is not what I expected. I thought Lemmy was more tuned in than this. Having white actors bragging about their superior genes goes beyond just being "white representation" and is instead a white supremacist and eugenicist dogwhistle. You guys really think that's a reach? Have you just not seen the full ads and are only reacting to this image?

American Eagle? Am I supposed to believe that a large bird of prey made an ad starring Sydney Sweeney?

Finally, we may shed our woke chains...

I'm going to have to leave an /s here, that's a borderline joke even for me.
