As I mentioned on another thread, I love seeing interracial couples in commercials.  Interracial couples are every bit as normal as couples of the same race and should be portrayed a such.  This one grates on me though.  Just once I'd like to see the white guy get to be the smart smug one, insulting the black woman while she just sits there acting dopey.  Just once.  Because in real life smart white men and dopey black women also exist.

In commercial-land, the black woman is at the top of the food chain, eating everyone including the black male.  To expect a white male (who exists at the bottom of the food chain, even beneath the family dog) to outsmug a black female is just---well, preposterous.  LOL

I love this whole racism thing and how so many "claim" to be against it, but this is reverse racism if you ask me. If it was an isolated incident, you'd think nothing of it. But that it exists in other commercials and others have noticed it, including myself. I hate smug to begin with but this is just sickening that in order to make the black race feel superior, they need to be so smart and the white person has to be as dumb as a box of rocks, it's still just as wrong as if the roles were reversed.

What's even scarier is if you look at the thumbnail...she almost looks more like a guy than a woman. Shocked

Tide, pisses me off so much! I have nothing against mixed couples.  But, they really do seem to want to shove it into our face.

There was a Cheerios commercial that featured an adorable mixed little girl with her White Mom and Black Dad. On YouTube, people came across as so racist talking crap about this commercial. The really sad part was, this commercial aired like in 2012. There was also people claiming they were sad when Rue died in Hunger Games books when they thought she was White. When they saw a Black Actress playing Rue,they said stuff like,"I was extremely sad when i thought Rue was White. Now that I know Rue is Black(Suzanne Collins the Author even implied Rue was Black in the books saying Rue's skin was Brown), I'm not really all that sad anymore." A nasty commenter even said something like,"Katniss should have killed that little N.... Rue herself!" You'd think in 2012 people would be much more racially tolerant, but no.
My name is Donathan, pronounced the same way you pronounce Jonathan, except with a D.😀 Hitting on a Lesbian who speaks to you and about you like trash means you're REALLY desperate! 😀

I was very fortunate to be raised by parents who taught me "people are people" regardless of gender, race, religion, politics, or sexual orientation and are evaluated as individuals because there are good and bad people of all those. I could write a book of all the friends I have had and others rejected. I of course also hate the dumb daddy/smart mommy commercials.

Sorry. No help here. Yesterday I wanted to send my oldest Granddaughter a happy birthday text on my "smarter than me" phone. I had to access the manual on my PC and still required 3 attempts.

She was able to quickly set up voice mail on my old phone when she was 7 years old. This was her 18th birthday! I'll get her 9 year old boy cousin to help me.Embarrassed

Wow! I hope you don't talk that was when black people are around! Don't base people on their skin color. Tolerance people tolerance!
