I don't care what color the one on the right is.

More electricity consumed when showing these ads!

I thought the woman on the right was half-asian, but I could be wrong. Are asian white people now? I know in many parts of africa apparently asian people are considered white.

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?

Commitment to their invested time and networks, at a guess. I tried to bring some work colleagues to Lemmy, Mastadon, Bluesky. They look at me like I'm suddenly wearing a tinfoil hat.

Oh good. Makes it easier to ignore them as the ravings of those most deranged of uninteresting normie morons.
