Race-taunting

Many people have noticed that whenever there's a mixed-race couple shown in an advertisement for some product, in at least 90% of the cases (perhaps even more) it tends to be a black man and a white woman, rather than the other way around. Very rarely do you see a couple consisting of a white man and a black woman in such ads. One has to wonder why.

It may or may not be completely conscious and deliberate, but it seems to me that there is some kind of psychology behind it. Something that drives advertisers (who are overwhelmingly far-left politically) to show mixed-race couples precisely in this manner, rather than the reverse. If it's not a deliberate agenda-driven choice, it's an instinct.

Whether it's a conscious and deliberate agenda-driven choice, or whether it's a subconscious instinct, I think that the motivation (or one of the principal motivations) is what could be called "race-taunting": The desire to taunt and mock the "racists".

It is an extremely stereotypical and archetypal view that "racists" heavily object to the idea of black men taking away their white women (very rarely, if ever, the races switched). Thus, these ads, deliberately or inadvertently, are taunting them: "Haha! Look at this black man and white woman couple! The black man has taken the white woman from you! How does that make you feel, racist?"

This is not the only type of race-taunting, of course.

There are several examples of far-leftist politicians directly and overtly taunting the "racists" (who, for the most part, are their own constituents, the very citizens of their own country) by saying how white people are becoming the minority, and how "that's a good thing" (at least in one case that's a direct exact quote).

There are also many government-sponsored "anti-racist" advertisement campaigns in many European countries (such as Germany) that depict extremely African-looking people engaging in very stereotypical culture of the country in question, and the ad declaring how this is the "new culture" of the country.

Again, be it inadvertent or deliberate, this is a form of similar race-taunting: "Haha! Look at all these foreign black people appropriating and taking away your very culture! The very things that make your culture your own, your country your own, your national identity! And that's a good thing, you racist!"

There are also several examples of works of historical fiction and pseudodocumentaries depicting the past of the country, but with African people in key roles. (Most prominently and infamously the pseudodocumentary about England in Roman times, with a black centurion and his family, something that is extremely unlikely to have actually happened.) This, once again, is inadvertent or (in this case more likely) deliberate race-taunting: Revisionism of European history, making a mockery of is people's distant past.

The sheer over-representation of non-white people in many works of fiction, such as some TV shows, may not, in this case, be race-taunting per se, but it does work a bit like it. As an example, there's a British TV series produced by the BBC (which is a far-leftist governmental organization, although legally it shouldn't be) named "This Is Going To Hurt", which (allegedly) depicts the real life experiences of an NHS doctor, based on his own diary. If you were to judge from the TV show something like 90% of NHS staff is non-white (and mostly African and Arabic).

In reality something like 1-2 % of NHS staff is non-white. But that's not what the TV show conveys. There's an absolutely humongous over-representation of non-white people in the show which in no way corresponds to real life. While the intent of this sheer over-representation is to try to normalize the sight of non-white people among the population, it still also works as race-taunting: "Haha! See all these black people taking away your jobs! How does that make you feel, racists?"

Unsurprisingly, many of the episodes of the show depict patients that are stereotypically racist to the absolute extreme (eg. becoming absolutely furious and panicked when a non-white nurse is helping them deliver a baby). This might or might not be based on real events, but I get the feeling that the show over-represents these cases as well, for the sake of an agenda.
