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’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.
