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?

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.
