Are straight white men actors/models represented fairly in advertising? Like billboards, sides of a bus, etc

I used to do some photography on the side. Most businesses are very into diversity and inclusion so will over represent minorities and women. I’d say the college I shot for under represented white males several fold compared to the actual demographics.

Modeling is a field where women far out earn men. That however is driven largely by the very real difference in the demand for male models vs female models.

Here’s a bias however: People just accept female models earn more, but when men out earn women in a field people are quick to claim discrimination. The bias isn’t necessarily in the selection or pay, but how that’s spun by feminists, and media.

Whenever I see a commercial involving some couples, it's always mixed race or LGBT couples. I hardly if ever seen a white heterosexual couple in most commercials. Or you'll have ads where white men are typically incompetent and a woman or some other ethnic person comes to save the day.

There used to be a youtube channel that did a series "misandry in the media" that highlighted these ads in his videos. Not sure if he's still around or YT has taken down the channel.

The ad-agencies like to pretend that we don't exist.

Best just to ignore them, and the sh*t they're trying to sell, and the message they're trying to sell. When society goes t*ts-up, ad-agencies won't be making much money, nor will their clients, nor will the demographic they're trying to sell to.

Not anymore. I started noticing that ALL the casting calls were for "ethnically ambiguous" about 10 years ago. (I used to act, SAG member etc)

Forgot to add ‘cis’ to your question. /s

Male models are severly underpaid

I see white girls with blacks mostly 😅🤮 they think they are doing good but it is really all jealousy and hate. I see white women being humiliated as well though. Is all indicative of who is making these advertisements. I think it is mostly gays and women. Women only mature mentally until the age of 17 and it shows. Gays are suffering a mental illness and it shows. There could definitely be regular men involved in this nonsense but they are just going along with whatever the women want ( to get women to like them)as is the case with everything everywhere now. This is what will take our country down. The feminists are cutting all of our throats and don't even know it.

Every commercial is like black women and I was thinking, they only make up like 6% of the population.

I remember when advertising was nothing but whites people, especially strait white men to the point of being over-represented. Companies discover that it was everyone but white strait makes that buy their products based on representation of their identity. So it’s just good business because strait white men are willing to buy the product even if they don’t get the representation.

Yes, there is definitely a reversal of probably close to 100 years of discrimination. Before, white people were given almost all advertising gigs.

Now, it's pretty much the opposite. The goal of advertising is to showcase how diverse your company/product/brand is.

To be honest, I don't really care. Let those asian, black and hispanic actors all get opportunities they have never gotten before.

Marketing and advertising is all about image, so I don't see the harm.

Now, white women, on the other hand, have somehow convinced the world that they are also a part of these people.

Powerful white women are just as guilty as powerful white men in their discrimination, yet they don't get any of the backlash unless the random Karen goes viral for being an asshat.

Gotta hand it to white women, they dissed out all the discrimination their hearts wanted at every opportunity they had to keep minorities in their place for hundreds of years. And now they don't have to take any shit for it.

It's pretty remarkable. Disgusting, but remarkable.

White men have been the center of everything and now that others are getting a taste of the pie, it’s almost as if you all knew it wasn’t fair from the beginning. I say good and deal with it. But at the same time, it’s quite obvious that companies are pushing it too hard
