Going to throw something controversial out there. It bothers me that virtually all advertisments feature a mixed races couple. It bothers me how virtually all media nowadays is so ultra sensitive to be politically correct that any white person plus white person combo is 'blacklisted' (lol).

I have no issue with mixed race relationships at all. But I do have an issue that all media seems to have started to portray the 'typical' relationship as a mixed race one.

@Force_majeure123 @Seagoon_ representative media would include couples who are three percent Aboriginal, six percent chinese, half a percent italian, ten percent queer, sixty six percent working class etc. That would be representative. Pretty difficult to cast.
