I think the reality is that the vast majority of media, period, is about and targeted to white people. If you were to take up ALL the media, you'd realize minorities are still very under represented. Also it makes people feel good when they're represented. White men won't admit that, because for them they're always represented. And when they're not its a problem, so clearly even they understand the power of representation. And, lastly, if you LOOK you can see white people are still in almost every ad. They're just not the only people in the ad. This is a problem of greed, the white man does not settle for anything less than 100%. Keep in mind I'm saying this as a white man. The world is truly made for us and our success. On the off-chance it's not this one time, we need to be okay with that and learn to get over it.

This would be fine if the representation was accurate. It's not. >White men won't admit that, because for them they're always represented. No they aren't... what? People represented to the market before they represented for "moral dilemmas". >And, lastly, if you LOOK you can see white people are still in almost every ad. No, they aren't. That's the point of my comment. It's almost a meme that every company refuses to put a white straight male in advertised media. >The world is truly made for us and our success. You sound like you've taken a sip of the Koolaid. This entire comment is bizarre and wrong. I'm going to assume you also think cultural appropriation is an actual thing too?

  I'm sorry, you're just wrong. White men are represented. In almost every TV show, EVEN the ones who promote diversity. I mean take a look at Disney's new star wars shows. All incredibly diverse and guess what - each one has white men in it. Again, same with the ads. Ads typically have multiple people in them. Usually at least one is white, typically more or most are white. But as I've iterated, white people are greedy. Anything less than 100% may as well be 0% to the eyes of a lot of white people. That's been the theme since the inception of the US.

    Ah I see you're just a racist. That makes sense. I guess numbers will continue to delude you.
