White folks simply don't break into houses. I was upset when I saw that commercial too.

Meanwhile, my mother-in-law, who lives in a lily white town, can't figure out who keeps breaking into their pole barn and ripping off all of my father-in-law's tools. Last year while they were in Branson on vacation, their riding mower and snow blower just walked out of their garage.

Goh figger!

Do these idiots know that America is still 65 or 70% white?
why does it matter what the make up of the actors in a commercial is? did you like the products you saw? if so did you want to buy the products?

probably for the same reason that Latinas are not shown on commercials with spandex pants and a rear end the size of TX.

it's just not aesthetically pleasing.

Based on white women you'd think a good majority were blonde.....or have no grey hair. Why should this be a trend only white people follow?

I remember Jeanette Goldstein, Private Vasquez of Aliens joked that she was only Mexican by insemination. I think the racist wouldn't accept Heidi Klum due to her ex husband Seal.

What channel were you watching? Sometimes, they will show a different version of the same commercial. They go by demographics. If I watch TVOne, I will see the same commercial with all blacks on it. If I watch HGTV, the commercial will have all whites on it. It's not a big deal. Although, I do hate those ridiculous McDonald's commercials because they seem to be targeted at blacks. White folks don't go to McDonalds?

You know...

I've noticed that all the Ace Hardware commercials
feature ONLY white, straight people.

better call the SPLC on this.
