This Reform MP complaining about disproportionate ethnic mix in adverts

[PatelsPlatoon]

Thoughts?
Firstly, just want to say I despise Reform as an important caveat.
However, she has said something I’ve heard a lot of people say about adverts in the last few years. I have noticed it too, probably only due these comments, and have felt, perhaps as others have mentioned it, that it’s possibly adding to the fuelling the anti liberal sentiment that seems more prevalent of late.
I can’t say I think the storm around her comments will do anything other than help cement their support.
However, the morals of what she said is a different matter.

People notice the black and brown person, ignoring the white person in the same advert. What proportion of adverts have white people in them?

As someone with brown skin I'm very worried about the path this country is going down, we've already had someone on the shadow front bench (Katie Lam) propose deporting people who are legally settled. The right wing press already tried to cover for another shadow front-bencher (Robert Jenrick), meanwhile we're getting into the situation of Ukip trying to racebait people in East London and a second young woman of Indian descent having been subjected to an alleged racially motivated rape in the Black Country.

Pochin's comments were abhorrent. They need unequivocal condemnation, not rationalisation.

[PatelsPlatoon]

We’ve just been discussing it in my house and we’re in agreement with you and think Labour have taken the right approach. However, Reform aren’t stupid and they know their appeal. This is a message right on target for the awful people who think they are the solution to the problems in this country.
It says much about the country at the moment that they feel they can get away with such things.

This is a topic I spent years delivering and with have so have seen it evolve first hand, and experienced the responses of many people of different backgrounds. It was originally about under representation or negative representation of minorities and has remarkably now evolved to people concerned about the opposite. Even within the shift there are still significant and nuanced gaps in representation and it still sits within quite narrow fields. But in simple terms, when things shift they usually over compensate initially and find balance eventually and that’s pretty much what’s happening here

Quite why any white person would get wound up about the colour or skin tone that any company chooses to try and flog its product is well beyond me. If the overall response was damaging to the products, the simple impact on economics would soon be a problem and they’d adjust. The fact we are seeing more breadth simply suggests people on the whole respond positively. Which leaves questions about those who take the time to find it to be a problem.

I think getting upset about seeing black and brown people in TV adverts says far more about that individual’s character (or lack of) than anything else.

[tHEgLASSdOORS]

Yep. It tells you what the person themselves defines themselves by and resonates of the notion Jenrick displayed - that white British is more British than anything else. And that the person themselves has no idea how deluded the foundation of their existence is.

Imagine not getting the best available product because you're angry at Howard from the Halifax.

This lot are going to be fucking fuming when the forrins are wiping their arses, talking in their own language!

Even far-right Meloni of Italy is opening up their borders for workers... but not flag-shagging Blighty.  Nooooo. This place is fucked.

It's not even thinly veiled, these days.
