What a piece of inaccurate propaganda. I particularly like this quote: "It wasn't always like this. For much of the past century, "minorities were either invisible in mainstream media, or handed negative roles that generally had them in a subservient position," says Jerome Williams, a professor of advertising and African-American studies at the University of Texas at Austin."
Uh, "professor," this "trend" mentioned in the article has been in full mandatory enforcement mode for 40 years now. A more interesting question might be: Why for the last 40 years has it been forbidden to show groups of people on ads that are not fully integrated (unless of course it's an all-black commercial)? Why can't commercials reflect life as it is when it comes to the way most people socialize with their own kindinstead of always being the vanguard of an extreme form of forced "multiculturalism"?
