Why are so many Fat and ugly people in commercials?

You're moving the goalposts here. I'm not talking about marketing products to different groups (presumably in Nigeria they use all African actors, and in China they use Chinese ones), nor Disney making a movie based on Mexican folklore, nor the mere appearance of minorities in reasonable numbers or in appropriate contexts. Nike has been heavily featuring black sports stars in its ads since the 1980s, and Morgan Freeman played the President way back in 1998.

What's new, in the last 5-10 years, is the industrial-scale practice of shoving nonwhites (which mainly means blacks) to front & center in media depictions in White nations, regardless of whether such depictions make sense. So you end up with blacks appearing in 30-50% of ads in markets where there are few blacks to be found, and TV series race-swapping Africans into 17th century London. This is done for propaganda purposes, or to comply with leftist religious scripture.

Don't believe me? Search for "happy white woman" on Google image search. A good third of the images feature blacks, often a black male who is clearly supposed to be the sexual partner. Do the same search on Qwant or even Bing and you get... pictures of white women, funny that.

Your claim that it's all "just a business decision" is easily disproven by the fact that diversity mandates exist in the first place. Hollywood, for instance, had to establish this elaborate quota system and diversity-commissariat bureaucracy precisely because commercial incentives weren't yielding the results demanded by Woke theology.

This is all speculation.

But if your outrage is minorities portraying white historical figures let me just give the best example of how much business sense it makes. The play Hamilton. Totally blew broadway revenue out of the water. Nothing was ever close per ticket sales. Even the second cast continues strong. It sold everything.
 
The statistics of some examples are the entire topic of this thread. How is it possible that 3% of a population represents 50% in ads unless those ads target a very specific segment. Even then there would be an outcry if certain ads only featured white males even if they target white males.

We can reasonably debate female and minority participation in higher paid jobs. The statistics often times contradict your claim. Look at news anchors across every TV channel. Even at fox news. Females and especially minorities are more than fairly represented. And those are very highly paid and lucrative jobs. I can name you dozens other industries where this is the case. We can discuss where women and minorities are under represented. In a few cases this might be the result of racism or gender bias. In many cases there are very valid reasons why certain genders or ethnicities are underrepresented.

What you are asking for is exactly what I and many oppose, which is postulating equal outcomes when that's not fairly justifiable. Or shall we reject all additional female nurses and kindergarten teachers until the male to female ratio is restored? Because many occupations showcase a large statistical female overpopulation.

Yeah, blonde female news anchors drive up ratings.
 
Nonsense. Those are facts. Why don't you do a web search as was suggested by @Specterx. He gave you the Roadmap to do your own search.

No worries. I am well versed. This is not a new topic on this board. I remember the boycott Nike movement over Kapernick and the surge in sales that resulted. The latest was Disney had two women kiss and then they became the largest streaming service on the planet thereafter. Diversity pays.
 
And that you are also unhappy about? So your goal is not just equal outcomes but those equal outcomes must all be for the "right" reasons you approve of?

So they should be black or of color to alleviate your concerns?

No what I am telling you they are making a business decision. Hot tv anchors get ratings. Ratings equals revenue. You just can’t understand I have no concerns because I’m not confused with what these companies are doing. You two apparently are.

Excuse me? I don’t follow what you are saying here and you keep accusing me of things like I have a goal or concerns. No. You’re the one lost in space that world has passed by so you’re lashing out making wild accusations.
 
Yeah, so a company making sound business decisions does not sit right with you? Perhaps you should appeal to the sexist and dirty mindset of the actual viewers, not the decision makers that pander to those viewers. A leadership and nation is only as qualified or unqualified as the people pool such leaders are chosen from. Perhaps it is your society that is behind other nations because other developed nations had female states heads for decades. Germany, New Zealand among many others.

In a lot of ways advertising is here mentality. You better believe Steve Jobs made sure his “think different” campaign had diverse representation…

"Diverse representation"? By my count this ad depicted eleven white males, three white females, two black males, and Ghandi. 82% whites and 65% white males, just 12% black males, 6% "other".

Thanks for proving my point. Apple would never show an ad like this today, and if they did, they'd be savaged in the leftist media for 'racism' and 'sexism'.
