I think what makes me laugh Badger is the fact it was an 'actual photo' however this was branded as 'racist'. So it was the actual reality they are offended by, not the marketing, advertiser's subjective decision making!

I might well start complaining about MoTD/Sky etc showing Palace games where we lose to the Top 6 teams and claim it enforces negative stereotypes about Palace!

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

I wonder what British black women think of so many TV ads having black man with white wife?

The same race ( different sex ) couples now mostly in ads for funeral services and over 60's life insurance

You don't see the same trend with South Asian men, Oriental men etc

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Or all the black women angry to see so many black footballers abandoning their own community ? Ditto ?

MO SALAH is a hero for staying with his childhood sweetheart. Loyalty is a noble attribute when you suddenly have infinite options.

Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford

Similarly, isn't it also up to advertisers who they use in adverts?

Also 'wokeness' is such an overused term now I think it's lost all meaning. 'Oriental' certainly has, but for different reasons

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

Not so much in the rest of the country though.

Advertisers have always portrayed a fantasy land. A land where a housewife's first concern is to buy the best dinner for her husband, or to use the correct air freshener. A land where kids are all sugar and sweetness and not the knife-carrying little 5hlt5 we read in the news. Advertisers have to distort reality in order to convey the message that your life is incomplete without their product.
It swerves the main issue, but advertising agencies don't produce anything that isn't going to absolutely maximise sales (in theory). Unless told otherwise.

I disengage, I turn the page.
