re: Sonic commercials very woke

Tbird is arguing that they aren't cucking to the concept, he's arguing that interracial couples are on the rise (they are) and so its logical to expect their representation to increase.
Great. Just post the statistics to back that up. I don't care one way or the other. When I pull into Sonic - or used to - I didn't see a lot of interracial couples there. Is that Sonic's new target market? Or are they cratering to being woke? I'd expect Sonic to do research and target their most valuable customers, but I haven't seen that research either.
The answer is, indeed, they're just sucking woke tit.
I did note that they've hired toothless meth addicts more often. I didn't see that as a part of the analysis.
So, when Sonic comes out and provides data on the race of their couple customers, I'll pay attention. But, in absent of that, I can only assume they've got no data, and are merely cucking.
Feel free to refute my logic. But most of the woke idiots are missing the point here by miles.

Sorry, man, showing mixed race couples in commercials isn't being woke or trying to fool anyone. It's a sign of shifting demographics and basic marketing strategy.
Sure it is. Your ignorance of how the game is played isn't an excuse for Sonic.
Don't be stupid.

Why have such a strong opinion of interracial representation in ads if, as we all agree, IR relationships are not a cause for concern in the slightest? Can't have it both ways
There would be nothing wrong with a gay Chinese couple, right?
Now, if every ad you saw, everywhere you looked, contained a gay Chinese couple, would you say "that's normal"?
Most people would probably think: "wtf?"

You consistent presence in this thread is evidence of your concern on this topic. There's tons of threads bitching about random crap on these forums yet here you are in this specific thread, typing up well over a dozen responses to various people, many quite long.
This is just classic me
I used to do this all the time, on a variety of threads/topics, on a variety of boards. I'm just not on TD as much anymore. This is a throwback. quote:
You've already said you'd have a problem with only same-raced couples were being represented in media/commercials.
No. That is incorrect. I said I'd have a problem if only one race were featured in every commercial (i.e., if only Hispanic people were featured on TV, and no other races altogether. Or only Asians on TV, and no other races altogether). I believe that we may have miscommunicated.

You just happen to be in a position to where you're satisfied with the status quo and can pretend you don't care to call out those who do.
Incorrect, you have misjudged. Like I said, the IR couples in ads could all disappear tomorrow, and I'd be unperturbed. Racial makeup of couples in ads doesn't affect me emotionally. Nor should it affect anyone who claims to not have a problem with IR relationships.

Gay Chinese people don't eat Sonic. Sonic recognized they have a problem, and aren't being woke, so they advertise a clientele they don't have.
They should, in fact, focus on the fact that they hire drug addicts to serve their meals.

This has been missed repeatedly as people get bent over trying to call everyone racist for not participating in this.

Not a good analogy. I've already demonstrated (at great length) the difference between gay and interracial dynamics in advertising. Please see earlier itt

It's on page 6. That's the one after 5 and before 7 if you weren't sure.

Both are groups that currently exist in a minority percentage of the total population.
That's all that counts.
Regardless. The same argument holds if you switch it to a straight hispanic couple in every commercial.
Most people would say: "the frick, am I watching telemundo or what?"

Your last sentence is, and will remain, the crux of this whole debate. You cannot say "I don't have a problem with interracial relationships, but I want to see less of them." It's a logical paradox, if you really weren't bothered by them, this thread wouldn't exist.

But you can say: "I don't have a problem with straight white heterosexual relationships but I want to see less of them? (for more diversity)? That's not considered a logical paradox?

No one in this thread has said that.

So you'd have no problem with only straight white couples in every commercial? Wouldn't claim we need more diversity or representation of other groups, races, etc?

As I've said before, I couldn't care less about the racial breakdown of people shilling products on tv. Diversity, for the most part, is a bullshite buzzword. I prefer to treat people as individuals and not as a collective. I do not want, nor do I need, to be represented by fictitious persons selling stuff.

Like I said, I've already covered this in exhaustive detail itt RE: gays
I already covered how race-exclusivity in ads would be problematic, as well

I mean, for crying out loud, most people stream content where you can skip ads 5 seconds in
Who are these people watching ad after ad all the way through and getting super involved in the racial composition of the characters?
