I'm not downplaying it. I just think it is an angry and vocal minority on social media. Most people would watch an advert like that and think nothing of it.

Quand il pleut, il pleut

....this is an interesting article on this from the view of a black farmer...and fits with what GStar has said...that speaking out is important when racism is shown because to ignore is to enable...silence is not acceptable when addressing racism...
“But it’s also sad and ironic that something like this should be seen as brave at all – and more supermarkets should be joining them. We need people saying hateful things to be called out, but we also need big businesses to share the same goals. “They can compete in business, but should stand together in society. I challenge other supermarkets to stand up and speak out. Silence is not acceptable.” ...the article... https://inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/...attacks-762883 Last edited by Ammi; 18-11-2020 at 06:31 AM. |

People placement is the same as product placement when selling a product, service or lifestyle.

And what "lifestyle" is being sold with black people in a Sainsbury's advert?

POW! BLAM!

It's just a family, they could have been any race
Adverts being screened now were probably filmed a couple of months back, back when the endless protests were banging on in the States, so it's possible that the advert companies felt the need to be "representative" ... but it's more possible that it's just happenstance, and people are whinging about nothing. |

But then again, there are thousands upon thousands of complaints and - bot or not - they are a problem worth discussing.
