In the UK 82% of the population are ethnically White.
The rest are Black, Chinese, Indian, and other.
9% of all UK families are mixed ethnicity.
Over 50% of the UK report belonging to a religion, the rest report no religion. Christianity prevails.
So advertising in the UK is a complete cock up. The big stores clothing models TU (Sainsburys) for instance are black. Where are the Chinese and Indians? Where is ME?
TV series and films are made to quota. Black, mixed race, LBGTQ + disabled and always the strong, dedicated feminist.
Then, currently, the adverts, Christmas or otherwise, feature black people. They are not in the background, they are the protagonists. I presume they are used because Christmas is a Christian celebration and a Muslim, or Chinese protagonist might look out of place. Yet 82% of the viewers are white, 50% Christian. There is never a baby Jesus or any indication of what Christmas was once about.
9.6% of our population are Asians. 4.2% are black (Black, Black British, Carribean, African).
So the ones who complain of racism the most are the ones to whom we now bend the knee.
So what about ME?
I want to complain that I am being discriminated against.
Bah humbug.
Racism exists.
And I don’t like it.
