They want to reach white people, so they advertise on Deadliest Catch, NASCAR, and Country Music TV. I watch none of them, by the way.

Imagine if we said we wanted to reach black people, so we were stereotyping what black people watch to do PSAs on their shows.

This is nothing new, and there are targeted ads for Spanish-language stations, BET, etc.

Bless their hearts... are they also reaching out to black people at fried chicken joints and watermelon stands?

Are target demographics a new concept to you? They're as old as advertising itself.

Imagine a press secretary actually SAYING they are using stereotypical means to reach black people. That's my point.

That, and not all white folks watch Deadliest Catch, NASCAR, or listen to country music. That's like Biden saying all black people think the same.

And just who came up with the proposition that all NASCAR buffs are "right-wingers"?

And they say the folks over there in Lower Left Field don't resort to stereotypes.

Too bad, I don't watch these tv shows, nor Watch ads.

I don't even have local Radio in my Car. Sirius all the way.
