Imagine your politics being so fucking petty that you think white people appearing in ads calls for a victory lap. Pathetic.

Al you have is petty when you have everything else

They managed to cherry pick 3 examples. Good job on them

Yeah, I could have picked three random ads with white people a couple years ago too.... It'd be different if they had, like, numbers showing more ads were using just white people or something than before.

EDIT: This applies to both comments BTW

Are we supposed to believe American eagle just started sucking now? Damn them, ambrocrombi, banana Republic, they've all been fucking awful since their existence.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

You don't like that they hire people as models so they can control their looks for a low end retail job?

Oh, that's just the tip of the iceberg

Former CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch and Two Other Individuals Charged with Sex Trafficking and Interstate Prostitution

So crazy that these are the same folks screaming about Jeffrey Epstein.

Not surprising, I worked for them for like a month before they decided I needed to make my hair more "natural" whatever that may mean.

These aren't just commercials with "white representation," they are promoting eugenics. Seriously, go watch them. It's not even subtle.

Edit: getting downvoted on Lemmy for rightly pointing out that these ads are evoking eugenicist ideas is not what I expected. I thought Lemmy was more tuned in than this. Having white actors bragging about their superior genes goes beyond just being "white representation" and is instead a white supremacist and eugenicist dogwhistle. You guys really think that's a reach? Have you just not seen the full ads and are only reacting to this image?

Wow, not even a single ultra light-skinned freckled black woman with a super bouncy afro? That is anti-woke! America is back, baby! And to think.. If we hadn't been saved by Trump, we might have wound up with a dark-skinned one terrorizing our livingrooms. 😰

Ah, you mean the one black friend in the group of pretty white women?

[-] answersplease77@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Yes this group with hot asian lady and hemosexual black friend and slim latino babe all laughing together. fuck them! they took over the commercial industry for too long from chocolate bars, to feminine pads, to phones, techonology, travelling and dating ads... They gotta go!

When was the last time anyone here ate at Arby's? It's one of those places for me at least that only gets brought up by my parents on where they want to go, and for me it's always ugh really?

Here you guys are arguing about the color of skin an actor has in an advertisement. When you should be arguing for the banning of all advertising. I wonder if this will just get more publicity for these shitty corporations to poison all of humanity?

Doesn’t that mean it was corporate pandering all along?

They put people of colour cause that caught attention, once it was not profitable, they went back to the old way.

[-] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

Did anyone think otherwise..?

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 days ago

Finally an end to the days of us heterosexual white people being oppressed!

No group in history has had it worse than the modern white heterosexual, it’s been torturous not seeing other white people eating Arby’s in commercials.
