In the idyllic world of TV commercials, Americans increasingly are living together side by side, regardless of race. The diverse images reflect a trend that has been quietly growing in the advertising industry for years: Racially mixed scenarios -- families, friendships, neighborhoods and party scenes -- are often used as a hip backdrop to sell products.

As much as i HATE with a PASSION the ad world, it is good they are showing black and 'mixed-race' people togther. i am mixed race. here in the UK you dont see hardly ANY black people in ads. the occasional ones but usually they are just blacks in an ad.

We have a long running soap here called Eastenders. it featured an Asian family. the young Asians were really refelceting a type of Western culture MCing and stuff. but the ratings went down, and people were moaning about them, and about the 'crap storyline' with them.
I instinctively sussed this was a 'unconscius' racism going on.
For example, i bet if you challenged them they would come with 'just cause i say they cant act, does this mean i am being racist' bla bla. HOW do you anser that. its like a catch22 kinda shit...i have heard it before from some critics, and it's a kind of 'shrouded' (for some) racism

you have seen it in the music industry. when i was growin up in the 1960s, the music was FUCKIN HOTTTTT! we were getting real downhome soul and funk from Afre Americans, and believe it you sure got the spirit dancing to it. you also had the amalgamation of white middle calss rock and Blues!....however few years later..we get MTV who wont show any black videos

i love the merging of all peoples. it is GREAT!

That "Got Milk ?" comercial is mixed race :p

I would be more interested in seeing more "African Americans" and other minorities in Ad's such as investment banking and home ownership etc......more so than "Hip-Hop" ad's :m:

Actually I believe I have....

I'm mixed race. My mother was a woman, my father was a man. You can't get more mixed than that.

I'm mixed race. My mother was a woman, my father was a man. You can't get more mixed than that.
Yes you could: if your mother was a man and your father a woman, you'd be much more mixed, or mixed up at least.

I'm mixed race. My mother was a woman, my father was a man. You can't get more mixed than that.

did you get racist abuse all through your schooling years?

No. Just abuse. Same as all children. It's the downside of selection pressures in evolution.

:confused:

Your view. my insight is that its rather the stuffin togther of a load of pissed off kids in a building geared to spew out dumbed down people who spew racist views and promote cut throat business and wars

You call that 'evolution', i call it the patriarchal mindset in action

The interesting thing is that it's not a big deal. It used to be that if there was a mixed race couple on a show, it was the focus of the story. Star crossed lovers and all that. Nowadays, you just see a mixed race couple and no comment is made. We've come a long way since that first inter-racial kiss on TV between Captain Kirk and Uhura.

In some comedy shows if they want to make a girl seem like a slut they'll make her have a black boyfriend.
It's the new short skirt and blue eye makeup.
Because the truth is lots of sluts don't dress like that. They can be quite frumpy. I think it's good they dropped that slut stereotype and went for the - more socially acceptable and realistic for this modern age - black boyfriend.

True, but it's the stuff of comedy. I've never met a slim white girl with a black boyfriend. They're always pudgy.
Guess if you can't respect your race, you can't respect your body.

On the other hand, you never see attractive Asian women dating attractive Caucasian men. I think there's some natural law against it, like it would violate the conservation of momentum.

We must have gone to different schools. I think there were forty plus children in my primary school classes, but it didn't seem claustrophobic.
I don't recall them being especially pissed off - why should they be? Rationing had just ended and some of us had two pairs of shoes. One of our neighbours actually had a TV!
Well, certainly some truly dumb individuals emerged (I don't think they were 'spewed') from my school, but as I recall they were even dumber when they entered.
Ah, well, they were racist, you have me there. Not conventional racism - everybody, as far as the eye could see was white. We had to reserve our bigotry for those who were really different: the catholics. But, come to think of it, that wasn't the school, that was the parents. And I got lucky. Mine taught me to judge by actions not labels - and the school did the same.
'Promote cut-throat business and wars'. I must have been off sick when we did those classes.
Yes. We were definitely at different schools.

We must have gone to different schools.

d))))))Obviously. top marks (smile)

come of it Oph.......it is common knowedge that schools are human hamburger joints

So you are saying that if you date outside your race then that is disrespecting your race?

come of it Oph.......it is common knowedge that schools are human hamburger joints
That wasn't my experience. It wasn't the experience of my children. I don't hold much truck with common knowledge or, for that matter, common sense. Most Americans will tell you that somewhere between 10% and 20% of their tax dollar goes in some form of foreign aid. It's common knowledge. The actual figure is less than 1%.
Being the only mixed race kid must have been hard. I am not being trite, but living in a parochial Scottish island community with an English mother I experienced a flavour of what you doubtless experienced as a three course meal.
That doesn't alter the fact that I owe a debt of gratitude to those in my primary, secondary and tertiary educational establishments. I'm sorry your experiences were so negative. May I ask what you are doing to address the problem you have identified, apart from whinging on sci-forums? (I'm assuming you have done something. I'm genuinely asking, what?)

Who cares really... aslong as you yourself are not a racist pig then you and your friends can have hope in humanity.. segregation is not stable and will die out eventually, as long as media isnt PRO racist which its not.. its neutral and exagerated at times. i watched some day time tv a while ago.. movie was big fish.. anyway (dont discuss the movie please) but there was a bunch of so called childhood friends in the movie .. a girl .. some boys and a black boy. Im sorry but no way in the 30's in southern america.. would a company that big be mixed race and mixed sex.. no way..
It just shows media is reaching a scitzophrenia of anti racism. so all is good no need to worry or discuss why the mentally ill writers and viewers of eastenders got some plot wrong. :m:

It is really weird how some people hang on to race, religion or nationality when it comes to judging people. They seem to forget the value of a human is based on their ethics and actions rather than their appearance.

What is truly disturbing are those Christian based, far right winged types like Christian Identity. Somehow through Jesus's teachings, they reached the conclusion that only whites have souls. The remaining mud people lack souls. There are truly some warped people in this world.

Quite a generalization. While I know some fundamentalist nutters like that, I can assure you that there is an exponentially larger number of Right Wing Christians who are not. And this is from a militant agnostic.

"Christian Identity" types are everywhere. Too many of them for the police in the EU, Canada and the UK to track them down and charge them with hate speech and authorities in the USA to charge them with hate crimes (unfortunately, the USA does not have hate speech laws yet)

We need to beef up law enforcement if we want a truly tolerant society.

you never see attractive Asian women dating attractive Caucasian men

I think you're mistaken here, as this is the most acceptable of all interracial dating. Most people are hung up on skin colour, and Asians and whites generally have the same pale-to-medium tone while blacks are much more darker.

The problems of interracial dating works both ways. In a black-white relationship, there will be plenty of white racists who don't want blacks dating their kind, but there will also be many blacks who accuse their own of "selling out". In the Taye Diggs case, the death threat sent to him is most likely from a black person, as it mentions the word "traitor" in it. I doubt a white racist would call Taye Diggs a traitor for marrying a white woman. I can think of many other things, but "traitor" is not one of them. And I often hear that Asian men are also marginalized in the marriage game, but this too is a two-way problem. Yes, there are racists out there, no doubt. But Asian culture also over-values sons over daughters, so much so that parents are much more willing to give a daughter to another race than a son. I know this from personal experience. Daughters can go wherever they please, but sons must carry the family honour and tradition, blah blah blah. It's a self-defeating cycle as this rigid tradition of male dominance also drives out Asian women into marrying other races.

That wasn't my experience. It wasn't the experience of my children. I don't hold much truck with common knowledge or, for that matter, common sense. Most Americans will tell you that somewhere between 10% and 20% of their tax dollar goes in some form of foreign aid. It's common knowledge. The actual figure is less than 1%.

d))))))which goes to show surely--proving my point--what a mean lying mFker the State is...?

Being the only mixed race kid must have been hard. I am not being trite, but living in a parochial Scottish island community with an English mother I experienced a flavour of what you doubtless experienced as a three course meal.

d)))it's not only hard for mixed-race but for all 'different' kids. those who are disenfranchized from the hamburger joint. you know the place that likes to try and produce the same hamburgers, conveyor belt-wise

That doesn't alter the fact that I owe a debt of gratitude to those in my primary, secondary and tertiary educational establishments.

d)))well quite frankly, i cant see it, being as i am not exactly empathic with your views about how great the State is, and science

I'm sorry your experiences were so negative. May I ask what you are doing to address the problem you have identified, apart from whinging on sci-forums? (I'm assuming you have done something. I'm genuinely asking, what?)

I am offended you using the term 'whinging at sci-forums'. i try and communicate from the heart. and i respect forums. people read them, and if what i say clicks with just ONE person that's good.
And i am also doing what i can to fuck-up the schooling system. but your lack of charm ASKING-the way you have- me doesn't really encourage any more elaboration

I said this:
" Most Americans will tell you that somewhere between 10% and 20% of their tax dollar goes in some form of foreign aid. It's common knowledge. The actual figure is less than 1%."

You said this in reply:
"which goes to show surely--proving my point--what a mean lying mFker the State is...?"
I agree that this confirms the meaness of this particular state (the US). I utterly fail to see how it demonstrates that they are liars.

I said
"[I]That doesn't alter the fact that I owe a debt of gratitude to those in my primary, secondary and tertiary educational establishments."
You replied:
"well quite frankly, i cant see it, being as i am not exactly empathic with your views about how great the State is, and science"
I didn't say you should owe a debt of gratitude because of my experiences. I was simply reaffirming that for me I found the educational system to have been extremely valuable. Could it have been better? Of course it could. We should seek excellence, not just good or very good.
Secondly, where in any of my posts, on any thread, do I tout the wonders of the state? The strength of the educational system that I perceive lies largely with the quality and the commitment of the teachers. The government, of any persuasion, has generally done round about the minimum that might be expected.
I maintain my positive view of science since, for example, it keeps me alive; it allows me to argue with a homosexual, tree hugging, mixed race personality from Manchester; it provides beautiful photographs of Titan.

You said:
"I am offended you using the term 'whinging at sci-forums'. i try and communicate from the heart. and i respect forums. people read them, and if what i say clicks with just ONE person that's good."
Well, I'm sorry you don't like my characterisation of what you spend a lot of your time doing as 'whinging'. It comes across that way: long, rambling, emotion packed tirades and diatribes against this evil and that evil, against the patriarchy, and science and the State.
Duendy, you think you are communicating from the heart. To many readers you come across as an indivdual who blames the rest of society for where you find yourself. I recognise that you will probably avoid any of my advice just on principle, but I shall give it anyway. (That's the kind of right wing, straight laced, materialistic bastard I am.) Tone down the visible emotion in your posts and you may be listened to by more than one person. If your ideas are that important to you shouldn't you be doing whatever it takes to get them listened to.
By the way, I have chosen not to be offended by your inference that whereas you do speak from the heart I do not.

Edit: Did I read you correctly? You are "doing what you can to fuck up the school system". Tell me that was a typo and not a description, alebit brief, of your guerilla attempts to cause its downfall and hence bring about a revolution in education.

I think you're mistaken here, as this is the most acceptable of all interracial dating.

Pay attention to the adverbs. You never see attractive Asian women with Caucasian men.
And why would you? It's generally either the ugliest members of a race that reproduce outside it. Presumably because their own race doesn't want them.

None of this applies to me

Asians and whites generally have the same pale-to-medium tone while blacks are much more darker.

East Asians, but not those from the South Pacific or India. That's like saying that generally, Caucasians are blonde.

I doubt a white racist would call Taye Diggs a traitor for marrying a white woman.

Who is Taye Diggs?
Those of my acquaintance would. I don't think the average racist would, but a lot of the Nordicist/Asatru/Volk Germania types will say something like that.

It's a self-defeating cycle as this rigid tradition of male dominance also drives out Asian women into marrying other races.

Well there is that. I suppose if your culture teaches you that you are trash, you will not respect your racial traditions that much.
But saying that Asian women marry out to escape disrespectful, dominent Asian men does not square with my experience of Asian men.
If you claim that they are escaping the culture, well I daresay heavily Christian White culture is just as "patriarchial" and misogynist.

duendy:
And i am also doing what i can to fuck-up the schooling system. but your lack of charm ASKING-the way you have- me doesn't really encourage any more elaboration

Your abuse of the English language may go a long way towards illustrating the flaws of public schooling.
Or it may simply show how stupid you are.

No dark sarcasm intended.

Public schools are geared towards the production of morons; towards making socialization - which is a more necessary tool to modern culture than the attainment of skills such as reading and writing - universally effective, and towards codifying an attitude towards authority.

Your claim that they are teaching racism and xenophobia is ludicrious. The function of public schools is to teach tolerence, and over-tolerence if need be. The socius functions that much more efficiently when we are such.

Now of course xenophobia and sexism benefit the socius too. So those who thump their chests saying how rebellious they are because they flirt with ideas of innate hierarchy of race or gender are oversocial fools like the rest.

"The leftist of the oversocialized type tries to get off his psychological leash and assert his autonomy by rebelling. But usually he is not strong enough to rebel against the most basic values of society. Generally speaking, the goals of today's leftists are NOT in conflict with the accepted morality. On the contrary, the left takes an accepted moral principle, adopts it as its own, and then accuses mainstream society of violating that principle. Examples: racial equality, equality of the sexes, helping poor people, peace as opposed to war, nonviolence generally, freedom of expression, kindness to animals. More fundamentally, the duty of the individual to serve society and the duty of society to take care of the individual. All these have been deeply rooted values of our society (or at least of its middle and upper classes 4 for a long time. These values are explicitly or implicitly expressed or presupposed in most of the material presented to us by the mainstream communications media and the educational system. Leftists, especially those of the oversocialized type, usually do not rebel against these principles but justify their hostility to society by claiming (with some degree of truth) that society is not living up to these principles."
-Theodore Kaczynski

I think you're mistaken here, as this is the most acceptable of all interracial dating. Most people are hung up on skin colour, and Asians and whites generally have the same pale-to-medium tone while blacks are much darker.Sociologists say that the greatest rate of "outmarriage" (they have words for everything and among themselves they use the even more technical term "hypergamy") is among Latinos. Something like 90 percent of the grandchildren of Latino immigrants are in mixed marriages, and around a third of the immigrant generation themselves. (This data is fifteen years old and dimly remembered, I'm sure the rate is even higher today.) Living in California I can vouch for that by personal observation.

The figures for the Asian community were more like 40 percent for the grandchildren and ten percent for the first generation, although both common sense and my observations tell me that rate is also higher today.

You may quibble over whether Latinos are a "race," but I say that the definition hinges on whether the members of the group suffer from "racism," and Latinos surely do. Latinos are at the point in their assimilation into American society as Italians were a hundred years ago, the Irish fifty years before that.

Being of similar colored skin is not enough to be considered "one of us."

Huh? Where in fuck do you get this from?

I'm not a leftist nor a rightist. I seek a radical-traditional third way but I'm not a fascist either.

Quite a generalization. While I know some fundamentalist nutters like that, I can assure you that there is an exponentially larger number of Right Wing Christians who are not. And this is from a militant agnostic.

You should have Googled Christian Identity. They are quite distinct from your garden variety fundy. Eric Rudolph was evidently at least partly inspired by them.

Eric Robert Rudolph, the nation's most wanted domestic terrorist, was captured on May 31, 2003 in Murphy, North Carolina, after being a fugitive from justice for nearly five years. He is charged with committing four terrorist bombings from 1996 to 1998, including the bombing of Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta in 1996, which killed two people and injured more than one hundred people.

Rudolph has had connections since childhood to a number of anti-Semitic, racist and anti-government movements or groups, especially Christian Identity, a virulently anti-Semitic "religious" sect that preaches that Jews are descended from Satan and that God made non-whites inferior to whites, who were made, "in his image." Identity believers are also fiercely opposed to race-mixing, abortion and homosexuality. While Rudolph frequently espoused these views, he never officially joined the ranks of the hate groups he followed, and is believed to have acted alone in the bombings he is accused of committing.

Muhlenberg was probably sad when they caught him. Screw Rudolph, and anyone who agrees with his dangerous nonsense.

In ALL the advertisements I see, blacks are ALWAYS making the white folks look stupid or not "hip", that is the only way that these "interacial" advertisments will work without being "racist". Many of the comments or images during a "interacial" moment on T.V often make fun of whites for just being white or "acting white".
Can ANYONE give ANY type of advertisement where a black is the butt of a joke in a AD campaign? I remember when Toyota had a black guy with a gold tooth. Toyota was almost put out of bussiness over that.

I guess whites are trying to show blacks that by making fun of white skin color, that it does not matter to whites so it should not matter to them.

It is amazing the many different ways whites have and still are and will always be, trying to civilize are unevolved African brother and sister.

If I valued your opinion I would be offended.

duendy;
Learn to quote properly, or give quoting a miss from now on.
I mean you're embarrassing yourself. Get it together.

It is amazing the many different ways whites have and still are and will always be, trying to civilize are unevolved African brother and sister.
Hmmm, they tried so many different ways that they nearly wiped out half the natives by bringing in diseases and alcohol to give to the so called 'unevolved African brother and sister'. So who are you calling unevolved? The black man who could live and survive in a place that would send the white man screaming for shade, water and his mummy or the white man who arrived on a big boat and carried with and on him disease causing organisms who was sooo evolved he'd discovered the joys of syphilis and herpes and who could not survive one day in the wild. Lets just think about that shall we?

The black unevolved individual adapted to his environment and thrived, keeping the environment well balanced all while living on the land.. keeping everything in a balance that the developed world is still trying to do even today. The white evolved individual had to cope with famines, plagues and other diseases while living in his evolved country and was constantly on the lookout for more land since their home land was being over-run because of over breeding and lack of room to live and they also managed to trash their own environment.

And the evolved white man goes into land that had been populated by the unevolved black man and what happens? The disease and pestilence spreads, wiping out the natives like no war ever could. Their land is then plundered and their environment left in tatters. They force the unevolved black individuals to become more like Europeans and they're still trying to recover from it. In the meantime, white religion such as Christianity devastates their culture even more. Ahh yes, so evolved they ruin other civilisations. Sadly, it wasn't just Africa that suffered such fates. South America and Asia also suffered the same fate at the hands of the so called more evolved. If that's how you treat your brothers and sisters, one would hope you're an only child. If not, I'm sure you will be soon enough.

i am not a big fan of schools
So many things that could be said right about now. But all I will say is now I understand...

And now onto this thread....

All racial groups are racist. Whites don't like to see their members marrying and having children with non-whites, and the same applies to Blacks, Asians, Latinos, etc. Listen to black women out there and you'll hear them complaining that their race is being watered down because their men are marrying white women. Amazing how the racism goes both ways but one will always blame the other what they are guilty of themselves. All sides wish to keep their bloodlines pure. I'm of mixed heritage. Fortunately for me, so are my parents. My grandparents however were not all of mixed parentage. And it's not easy. It wasn't easy for my Grandparents who were shunned by most of their families for marrying outside of their racial circle and it wasn't easy for my parents who were also shunned for being inbetween. I escaped because the mixed parentage appears to be a tad watered down, but I'm not white and I'm not dark either. I live in the realm of in-between that's called olive skin. I still copped the racist comments as a child and while it used to bother me as a child, now I just laugh it off, though most pick me for a European now anyway. Go figure. But racism exists in all groups, even mixed groups where one is pressured to marry or be friends with people who are either the same colour as you or lighter... never darker. My own grandmother, who was a French woman and who'd married a creole of French and Africa ancestry always told us to never marry someone darker than ourselves. I never understood that as a child. But then the country I was born in was like a minature version of South Africa during it's Apartheid regime, so I shouldn't be shocked.

Mixed raced people are becoming more common in advertising because they are becoming more common in society. People are breaking away from the 'keep to your own kind' type of mentality. And mixed races, especially white and black mixes always look slightly different because they look so tanned and the curly hair looks permed. But look closely and the mixed individual in the add or tv show will usually always have light coloured eyes and most probably slightly bleached hair. It's not only because it supposedly looks better but it points to the fact that the individual has more white genes than black genes.

Good post Bells. A joy to read.

HI Bells. me too. i really enjoyed your post. very intelligent and very restrained. i find it hard to suffer racists easy
i am mixed race--which you may already know. and when i was a kid i took it very hard when i got abuse.
My mum said she married a black dude was she wanted to change the world. i share that sentiment. i love mixtures...actually the so-called white peoples are also a mixture, but because it doesn't involve dark pigment it isn't as noticeable. i share THat mixture too, Dutch, Irish, English, Scotish and Welsh

you are right about racism in other peoples too. But i feel it is only the white racists who go on about black skin being dirty, and people looking like 'monkeys' etc

I also feel this fear is particular--ie., against black skin--coming with LIGHt skinned people. this is seen writ in myth, where we have the war of 'light' against 'dark' seen in Abrahamic religion and Vedic religions too. where the dark is assumed to be 'evil' on many levels. The Aryans as you may know warred with the darker skinned Dravidians.

'we' HAVE --all of us--to get over this infantile shit. maybe not 'infantile as you see kids that age all colours happily playing with each other. the trouble begins when they begin listening to racist propaganda from parents, peers, and media

Your way of thinking is to be impressed with the fact that blacks survive living as animals, and the fact that white men invented as you say a "big boat" is just no big deal?

This as you sit in your home with your T.V, fridge, car, and as you write on your computer. People of color all over the world risk their lives just for the chance to live in the country's devloped by whites.

Blacks don't want to live as animals as you have pointed out, they have no choice.

The White race has crossed seas, harnessed rivers, carved mountains, tamed deserts, and colonized the most barren icefields. It has been responsible for the invention of the printing press, cement, the harnessing of electricity, flight, rocketry, astronomy, the telescope, space travel, firearms, the transistor, radio, television, the telephone, the lightbulb, photography, motion pictures, the phonograph, the electric battery, the automobile, the steam engine, railroad transportation, the microscope, computers, and millions of other technological miracles. It has discovered countless medical advances, incredible applications, scientific progress, etc. Its members have included such greats as Socrates, Aristotle, Plato, Homer, Tacitus, Julius Ceaser, Napoleon, William the Conqueror, Marco Polo, Washington, Jefferson, Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Magellan, Columbus, Cabot, Edison, GrahamBell, Pasteur, Leeuwenhoek, Mendel, Darwin, Newton, Galileo, Watt, Ford, Luther, Devinci, Poe, Tennyson, and thousands upon thousands of other notable achievers.

Throughout 6,000 years of recorded history, the Black African Negro has invented nothing. Not a written language, weaved cloth, a calendar, a plow, a road, a bridge, a railway, a ship, a system of measurement, or even the wheel. (Note: This is in reference to the pure-blooded Negro.) He is not known to have ever cultivated a single crop or domesticated a single animal for his own use (although many powerful and docile beasts abounded around him.) His only known means of transporting goods was on the top of his hard burry head. For shelter he never progressed beyond the common mud hut, the construction of which a beaver or muskrat is capable.

This conversation is nowhere near the original intent of the thread.
