commercial racism
now, commercials aren't supposed to be the catalysts for social change or anything like that, but i'd like to note something that bothers me:
i have never seen a white woman attracted to a black man in a commercial. EVER. i haven't noticed white women being attracted to other races, but i'll be more attentive now that i've noticed the previous situation.
i got the idea from a tag commercial (or was it axe?), which i actually find pretty well done. it's the new pow-chuka-wowow campaign (70's porn music reference), and a black woman doing her grocery shopping gets all freaky in the middle of the store, staring at a (black) produce guy. it's pretty good... but it just made me think...
