My wife says I am reading too much into the commercial.

I see "Blonde, light skinned Scandinavian woman marries dark skinned, bearded Islamic man and leads a life of wealth and happiness".

So am I a racist for seeing the commercial in this light?

Well, the world is getting less and less white, especially here in the USA. Maybe Volvo wants brown-skinned people to buy their cars, too, diversifying away from the blonde/blue-eyed suburban soccer moms whose husbands have been their best customers for decades.



Change is coming; adapt or die. Isn't that what people around here are always saying?

The 'interracial dating' threads recently puts iron in your words, Mr. Wales..

No.  

I see bearded transgender woman crying in the back of her transgendered husband's Volvo while reminiscing about their non-gender determinate child's pansexual wedding.

I think Dodge is the only domestic brand that doesn't have froo froo commercials.

Are we really having a thread about interracial relationships in commercials?

You must have missed the past polls and results regarding interracial relationships.  It's a GD wheelhouse topic and real sore point.

Yup, plenty of commercials these days are selling more than the product.

I dont know about the ad being discussed, but I agree with this statement in a general sense. If the commercial has a black person and a white person, the white person is always the dumb one. If the commercial has a man and woman, the woman is always the smart one.

It's not a recent thing, either. I never cared but some folk get downright indignant, and woe betide anyone who calls them on it.

I refer to these as "stupid white guy" commercials. It's definitely a thing.

not sure if they're the same commercials, but i'm wondering if it's the one(s) with the pathetic fucktard that has to keep a "journal" about bullshit that any normal person would remember with ease? if so, i'm thinking the idea is to make men into spineless cunts, full of feelings and introspective bullshit. the pussification continues....


eta: what about the subaru commercial? you know, the one where the pathetic hipster liberal idiot is cleaning out his car, reminiscing about his growing spawn, as she prepares to leave. he literally has a thought about everything he removes from the car, going all the way back to her being a small child. for fucks sake man, it took you 15 years to clean out your car? filthy, liberal hippy trash.

Case in point the Nationwide retirement planning commercials.  Stupid white couple putting it off and smart black couple plans ahead.

Man, the longer I hang around on this website, the more I think I should just watch porn instead....but then again there's probably an agenda on Pornhub too. You guys are weird.

Holy fuck, men.


Of course father of the bride and passenger seat man are Arabs.  Look at their noses, FFS!


Volvo knows that their pussy bleeding heart core constituency wants to believe that Muzzies are just big teddy bears, so this commercial is pandering to that mindset.
