Very interesting and a lot shadenfreudey. Personally I could not care less about the hypocritical and whiny entertainment industry. Right now I’m watching Boston Legal and even 15 years ago Hollywood was woke. Ah well.

Hey, has anyone noticed white people aren’t in commercials anymore? Only black people climb mountains and go to the beach and do all the things white people used to do but don’t anymore. And all couples are either totally black or mixed race. And if a white person is in a commercial they’re stupid while the professionals are black. Yeah that’s believable. Sad what the woke are doing. Meanwhile the inner city schools are dreadful and POC are still being used and discarded by the left.
Oh and White Lotus was stupid and I didn’t even bother to finish the last couple of episodes.
I did see Asians about in restaurants and at the airport. One sitting in front of me on the plane wore a t-shirt that read, ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ on the front and ‘Lions not sheep’ on the back!!!
We moved here following 25+ years in Silicon Valley, which is somewhere around 50% Asian, way more like %75 in cities like Cupertino and Fremont. Let me let you in on a little secret: They are not woke. They are pursuing the dream and they are succeeding. One of my law partners is first generation from Taiwan. He likes to hunt animals and has a CC permit (in California - not easy to do). Proggies have a hard time dealing with Asians because they have "brown" skin but do not fit the skin color is everything narrative. And, I have bad news for proggies: Asians are 60% of the world's population.
That's terrific to hear. But then why do they vote Democrat? I am told it's because Asians like to be 'fashionable' and are conformist to the predominant culture? That said, my daughter who attended Harvard, took a course from historian Niall Ferguson who said 'in class and in front of the students' at Harvard no less, that Asians would be the saving grace of the USA because of their intelligence, hard work and family values....just waiting for this obnoxious woke moment to be over so that we can move forward as a country again...(I have also thought of moving to the UK, Ireland, Scotland as well...so tempted...)
But seriously, somewhere lost in all the 2020 election blather is that very blue California voted overwhelmingly (64%-34%) for Biden, yet voted NO (57%-43% ) to repeal a prior initiative that forbid racial preferences in college admissions. How do you think the Asian vote went on that proposition?
Seems clear, at least to me, that the Dems will lose Asians on a platform that expressly discriminates against their kids.
I read that. I'm thinking it's not that they lost Loudin County, is that they did not win it by anywhere near the margin one might have expected based on Biden margin, and the difference was they lost a lot of parents of school kids.
On Topic - do not for a minute think that Asians are concerned about white supremacists attacking them. They know who attacks them. The whole Asian violence thing that proggies tried to fire up after that kid in Georgia killed some sex workers died pretty fast in the embers of the various videos emerging of Asians being attacked.
"I have also thought of moving to the UK, Ireland, Scotland as well...so tempted..."
You might want to speak with some people who live in these countries before making that move. See, e.g., Canada, New Zealand, Australia. Must have something to do with the Royals?
Royalty has nothing to do with it...My ancestry is 30% Scottish, 17% Irish, 23% Lativian and the remainder Norweigen...I rather like 'my cultures' - the food, craft, aesthetic sense...
Indeed. I've tuned out. Two examples: I now DVR my Kansas City Chief's football games and watch them skipping the commercials because I can't stand the wokery on the commercials, and only-white-men-can-be-clowns casting. Secondly, I've discovered Korean and Taiwanese romantic comedies and period pieces on Netflix -- actually very witty writing, well-enough acting, and good-enough production values, and (big thumbs up) absolutely no explicit sex. It's like stepping back into 1960's television like "I Dream of Gennie" or "The Lucy Show." Granted the casts are all of one race, but that's not the point -- all you see is the story.

Yes. It's gotten very bad, especially recently. The only white people who appear in commercials are married to black people.
White males in media today are primarily: gay, buffoons, married to a black woman, or villains. It's apparent and nonsensical.
‘Just came back from skiing and didn’t see a black person the entire week - but the commercials on the Telly show us how insane the country has gotten
CC you obviously weren’t looking in the right places.
Restaurants, the airports- not a one from Jackson Hole to Utah
I live in the JH area. There are a few black people around, but I'd guesstimate no more than 1% of the population, if that. Also, very few Asians.

you're right: they are not woke. most are quite conservative. however many vote Dem because they have bought the LIES. & been brainwashed.
also they need to be more VOCAL about not being woke & stop hiding. Fight the school districts, fight the school boards. Stand with Us.

Why does anyone?

The Dems lost big in Loudin County, VA on this issue. (see Matt Taibbi's substack on this topic)

The UK is ten times more "woke" and liberal than the U.S.!
They are truly oppressive to those who believe boys aren't girls.

The royals part was snark. What Terry said.
You forgot your BIPOC sunglasses. I mean would the media lie to us?

French and Spanish series are good places to look, as well
