    I've noticed that, too. Since they spend millions of dollars on market research, advertising agencies and their clients must have a reason for believing that showing white folks using their products is the best way to get the rest of us to buy them. I'd bet, however, that if all us non-white folks boycotted their products unless we could see ourselves represented in their advertising, the phenomenon you describe would change real quick.

    What TV are you watching? It's getting ridiculous the way almost every show or commercial takes pains to make sure there is one black, one hispanic and one asian in every shot.

    Target markets. It's all based on demographic studies. If those studies turned up more blacks buying such products or watching such shows then they will advertise accordingly.

    Because you don't have BET , POX or UNIVISION channels. Blacks and hispanics have the luxury to have their own television channels, their own ethnic organizations and scholarship programs. This is a luxury that white people can't afford without being labeled 'racist' or 'clanish'. White people must endure this because 150 years ago some black person's great-great-great grand parents were slaves to a white man. So to be politically correct, it must continue. If there was National Assoc. for the Advancement of White People, there would be race riots in the streets. The same holds true if there were a United Caucasian Collage Fund. I truly wish there were racial equallity, then we could do away with the reverse discrimination in the United States.

    Because they are Jewish. Non-jewish white people on tv are few and far between. The Jews control the media. This is fact. They always try to meet the local diversity percentages however they will always fill the white slots with Jewish men or women.
