On the topic of culture. What exactly is wrong with advertising becoming more diverse and showing minorities in a positive light in media? Is it just”‘Brown people bad” or “Diversity bad”? Remember that historically minorities have not had many positive images of themselves in large media campaigns.

When I see a Tide commercial with a black guy at home folding laundry I don’t really see the negative there. Would you prefer he be doing it in the ghetto with a gun in his hand? What is wrong with a positive portrayal?

So maybe every commercial in Israel should have a mixed Muslim Palestinian male/Jewish woman couple in it, and every commercial should have a muslim Palestinian in it just doing every day things so Israelis arent murdering 11,000 Palestinian children in a couple months or locking them into an open air concentration camp on starvation rations that drives them insane. I'm sure that'll happen any day now since its Jewish dominated ad agencys peddling this "diversity" in the US.

I can tell you what is wrong. They use these campaigns in traditionaly white countries that have fought against the brown-black invaders in the past to promote white women breeding with non-whites and produce the kind of population that our ancestors gave their blood to drive away.

There's nothing negative when this commercial is used in a black country.

So, “Brown people bad”? That’s what I’m hearing here.

If your country/nation never had a positive interaction with brown people, then you have the right to ask for a distance. Not to mention that all those illegal immigrants from Pakistan and the like don't exactly contribute to giving brown people a good name.

I’m not on this site much. Also, that’s not a fair comparison IMO. Neither Israel or Palestine have any actual intentions of doing anything other than eliminating each other. I’m talking about the US where people are working to help communities of color gain a positive image of themselves in popular media as this not been the case since the beginning of the modern film and television era. From ‘Birth of a Nation” all the way to “COPS” there have only been a handful of positive portrayals of black folks. It matters greatly to see people that look like you portrayed in a positive and aspirational light.
