The thing he's missing is this is being done to sell stuff, social engineering is secondary.

These companies pay millions for ads they don't do that unless they sell stuff.

These ads appeal to white liberals who view minorities as cute mascot for their society but would move as soon as the first black person actually turned up in their neighbourhood.

Right? Remember the Energizer Bunny? Polls showed that people hated those commercials after a while, because the novelty wore off. However, studies showed that those commercials kept sales up, because the purpose of commercials is to keep the product in the minds of the viewers, not to make commercials that they like. They hated the commercials and the Bunny, but still believed that the batteries were the longest lasting.

One can say that these ads are telling PoC to be more like white people and find a good white person to be with, not the other way around.

Whatever you think of this video, remember that it's absolutely crucial you help him fight the war on free speech by supporting him via subscribestar, and signing up for his free newsletter.

Okay, maybe I'm being a little unfair because I dislike his speech-challenged accent. His social engineering probably is primary, but these end unless he "sells stuff". :)

I remember he once did a great job of trolling Piers Morgan simply by tweeting him "I'm more attractive than you."

Unfortunately that only works via twitter as once he opens his mouth he becomes 70% less attractive.

Am I remembering right that you live in the UK? What do people there think of that accent? Are accents there an indicator of class, or perhaps intelligence?

I like the accent usually.

It's something about the way he personally speaks which is a bit off.

Maybe he needs a few voice lessons.

I mean he comes from the same area as Sean Bean and Sean isn't annoying.

Yeah, accents are hugely linked to class here. Some southern posh people might automatically think his accent is common but I have family in Yorkshire so know it's more likely to be a provincial snob and middle class accent.

Certain accents are linked to low intelligence. The RP speaking southern middle class will simply assume everyone else is thick. Other than that I believe the Birmingham accent (as in Peaky Blinders) often gets voted the most stupid sounding.
