Title: Black adverts
Post by: Flying Bomb on May 02, 2022, 09:44:06 AM
Nearly every advert now on TV has a black actor in it. But I haven't yet seen
any obvious looking Muslims in one.
No doubt the Muslim Council of GB will soon be putting this right.

I solved that. I don't have a TV licence so see no adverts.

I recall some years ago now, that in a Midsomer Murder, in a small village a black man was there.  So ridiculous

As a white, heterosexual woman I'm under represented on TV adverts and some programmes.  Now what happened to the racial discrimination act ? or doesn't that apply if you're white ?  :evil:

Alex I am surprised at you, fancy not knowing that only white people are racist!!! and we are the immigrants as the black folk have always been here, back in the 1500's, Ann Boleyn was black why would the TV lie to you????????
