    one of the reasons I put people like you on ignore is because you make ridiculous arguments
    are you saying that the majority of people in the UK are black or the majority of couples consist of one black and one white?
    this is the case with most adverts now

    If it didn't matter about colour, they wouldn't be making themselves look ridiculous in advert after advert. The agenda is simply making the few people left watching adverts shift away too.

    They're not targeting the ethnic mionority customers anyway, after all, we keep getting told they're poor and deprived, they're targeting virtue signalling white folk. Sales to the teaching profession will need to be good, to make up for the other customers they'll lose.

    No, you're virtue-signalling. Glad to help. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    If these brands continue to feature non-whites then they simply can’t expect mental old nonces to not switch to competitors.

    So when you set quotas when interviewing you always get the "best people for the job"?

    The odd thing is that the adverts that draw ire are always ones that show mixed race families, you get very few that show all white and i can't think of one that shows all black.
    It's ****ing weird that none show a good mix of reality.

    Why do they never show Jewish people in these adverts? Or albinos? In fact you hardly ever see any adverts with Chinese or Japanese ..................although minorities in this country why aren't all these represented? Blacks and Asians are minorities in this country too and they all for these being "inclusive".

    I mean fair's fair.

    If you had never been to Britain and only watched our TV stations you would probably think we are a majority black country .
    It's social engineering.

    The Christmas adverts are a running joke now .

    There are no white British Christian families represented in any of them .

    There are plenty of white women that get knocked up by black men but it's extremely rare the father actually sticks around .

    Not in TV land though they are all Idris Elba

    <laugh> Well done Pompey, I think you’ve finally broken them.
    Imagine watching an advert and the first thing you see is the colour of someone’s skin, but none of them are stone cold racists, honest…
