These aren't just commercials with "white representation," they are promoting eugenics. Seriously, go watch them. It's not even subtle.
Edit: getting downvoted on Lemmy for rightly pointing out that these ads are evoking eugenicist ideas is not what I expected. I thought Lemmy was more tuned in than this. Having white actors bragging about their superior genes goes beyond just being "white representation" and is instead a white supremacist and eugenicist dogwhistle. You guys really think that's a reach? Have you just not seen the full ads and are only reacting to this image?
Don't try it. Lemmy is a very racist place. They're just better at keeping quiet about it.

More electricity consumed when showing these ads!
I thought the woman on the right was half-asian, but I could be wrong. Are asian white people now? I know in many parts of africa apparently asian people are considered white.
Commitment to their invested time and networks, at a guess. I tried to bring some work colleagues to Lemmy, Mastadon, Bluesky. They look at me like I'm suddenly wearing a tinfoil hat.
Meanwhile this was fine when I was young...
(Note, I do not think it is fine. Awful racial stereotype warning...)
