Why is it that the left is horrendously bad with math? Black people make up between 12% to 14% of the population in the United States, yet the left somehow expects black people to be represented in society in far greater percentages. Then again common sense and math evade those on the left.

TI'm the last here to object to interracial marriage. I've seen a bunch of TV ads lately showing mixed race couples. They're kind of over doing it. Kinda getting a bit bizarre.
Please explain what's not odd about 80% of couples on Madison Avenue-produced TV commercials being mixed race, specifically black/white, when US average is maybe 5%. Overall mixed race marriages are around 10% with the vast majority being white/hispanic.Every now and then you show your true colors.

Why do you even notice this . . . why do you care?
Do mixed couples stand out to you that much? If so, why?

Because he’s observant and made an observation supported by facts.
Tell me, what do you make of a repeated mischaracterization of American life by our media-producing agencies?I am sure he was observant about it. Don't disagree there.

I'm part of a mixed race couple. There's not that many of us.
Hair Pie...been a long time since I heard that one. I'm puttin' it away for future use.I have noticed the disparity as well in tv commercials as well and many I know have commented about it asking if I had noticed?
Almost always a White Woman with a Black guy, sometimes a White Guy with a Black Woman but not very often. Never shows an Asian with Black or Hispanic with Black. Why is that?
Then there are the Commercials that show a White Family with a Black Female Kid, usually always female as if its the current "in" thing to have in your family like having a dog or cat. Why not a Black Male Kid?
Others I have seen are the kissing lesbians at the altar and commenting they like Pie not Cake in reference to the Business that refused to make a cake for a Gay Couple and one could also say they said Pie because they eat Hair Pie.
Don't forget the Bank Ad showing a guy laying in another guys lap.
It is by design, very rarely saw any of this until after 2016.
Dude. Did you just tell a biracial guy that he’s showing his true colors?Every now and then you show your true colors.

Lately, ad agencies seem to portray 65 percent of us as black-white mixed marriages.
I know numbers and facts are not your strong suit, but you don't sense an odd over-representation in most commercials? As in, 80% in TV fiction vs. 5% in reality?
Make what?They are commercials man. Commercials.
And you are literally upset because they feature interracial couples more than what may exist in reality.
lmao! Take a step back and seriously think about this.
Dang, you guys make it so obvious.
Are you all getting these percentages from somewhere? Is there a tracker somewhere of mixed couples in network ads?
There are those - right here in this thread - who feel their "culture" is at risk.So because agencies choose to depict interracial couples in some of their commercials (which they are completely free to do in a free society such as ours), you consider this a "mischaracterization of American life?" Seriously?
It is very telling that this clearly bothers you and represents such a "mischaracterization" to you. Says a lot.
btw, I don't make anything of it.
@Sunburnt IndianDon't tell me you really believe the junk he posts? I truly hope not.
"Sunburnt Indian" is as white as they come. He makes that clear rather often. His fixation on race (while decrying the supposed Dem fixation with race) and obsession with proving his bona fide non-whiteness should have told you that a long time ago.
Just wait, he will start talking about his 1/30 Mexican cousin or his 1/110 Asian lover soon enough. And always to back up one of his right-wing thoughts.

Truth is, some people get a warm fuzzy when they see a progressive view of modern life. Making positive associations with a brand, nothing wrong with that. If it didn't work, you can bet agencies and the advertisers wouldn't be doing it.
No doubt about that David. This of course explains the support that Trump has. They are invested in him because they see him as the savior and protector of their culture. Trump recognized the power of appealing to their fears and biases and he has consistently played to that. He isn't the first political leader to this of course. Fear can be a powerful motivator when it comes to politics.
What I find so interesting is how they themselves deny what they really think and fear. You get threads like this that make it clear, but once they get called on it, they play dumb. Why don't they just own up to what they are about? Everyone else sees it, it isn't like it would shock the rest of us!
Perhaps. I honestly can say that I haven't noticed what they are claiming to see in terms of interracial marriages/couples. I guess it is there, but it doesn't strike me one way or another. I have never watched a commercial and thought, "that was an interracial couple."
My culture is just not their culture. And of course, therein lies the conflict.
At least I believe a black man can find the DMV.No doubt about that David. This of course explains the support that Trump has.

This is why Trump won and will win again.And I bet you also would had a defense of poll taxes and literacy tests as well. And the grandfather clauses of course.
