I am not one to watch commercials much less pay attention if it doesn't interest me. I don't really notice the people in a commercial i just pay attention to the product. As i try to recall some of the commercials that i have seen i now see that there are more white people in any given commercial yet i still remember seeing black people but I do not recall their role or importance.
In the commercials I think they are trying to appeal to the people most likely to buy the product, i.e. the middle class white family. They want kids to see other kids like them selves so that they can relate to the product. Commercials just keep the stereotypes alive and keep pushing the minorities out and making them unimportant.
1. Why are white kids always in front and get the most attention?
2. How can we bring the minority children in to the light?
