Mixed relationships

[Londonlisa2001]

Women on football shows has gone over the top too, seem to be on them all, I know the women's game is growing but its still small, most women have absolutely no interest in football

Most men don’t have any interest in sewing but the sewing bee is presented by a man and has a male judge.

Similarly interior design make over programmes.

Looking at the T.V you’d assume pretty much every meal in the country every day is cooked by a man.

Or alternatively you could say that all that matters is whether the presenters are knowledgable and interesting. Some female football presenters won’t be to your taste, or mine for that matter, but they’ve got some way to go before any of them are approaching the dreadfulness of many of the male football commentators there have been over the years.

ha ha actually bud i'm in a mixed marriage myself so you couldnt be further from the truth but unlike the tv adverts ( that supposedly reflect society ) i dont see that many relationships/ marriages around. I'm all for diversity in life but tv ads should reflect it.

:lol:
If you were in a mixed relationship you would be happy to see your relationship being accepted, (which it has been since about 1975, anyway).

I bet you've got gay disabled friends too huh

only you monty you old queen

Advertisers aren’t ‘trying to be PC’.

There is an enormous amount of research that shows that advertising is most successful when we can relate to the people selling us things. Either because they are like us, or because we aspire to be like them.

The more diverse the people within the advertising the more people in the potential purchaser category increases as more people find it relatable.

It really is as simple as that. Follow the money. Nothing to do with ‘PC’.

Mmm! Not that convinced with that analysis. If it were true, why are they only now targeting a more diverse audience. I'm afraid there is a certain amount of box ticking going here.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Maybe they only recently switched on to it.

Advertising I have no issue with, the advertisers will always want to reach as many as possible so diversity makes sense to me.

What I don't like is the enforced diversity in TV and Movies. I'm sure I read or was told that in the US a TV program must have a certain amount of non white characters otherwise it wouldn't get screentime.

This is OK for modern drama's in most main Cities and fantasy, but it also means you get illogical casting in historical drama's. I started watching Mary Queen of Scots which had Adrian Lester as a nobleman, I like this actor, love some of the things he's in but found myself distracted with wondering if there were any black noblemen, certainly have always thought there wasn't.

Bridgerton is another example, but its pure fantasy as was Merlin another TV program that had black people where historically there wouldn't be.

When I was brought up in Port Talbot in the 60's and 70's, I can only think of two black families in the area, similar Asian, when I went to town or went out drinking at night, the people I saw were 100% white on the vast majority of the times I went out. I'm unsure of how it is today, I haven't been back for decade's. But if someone made a TV series based in the early 70's in Port Talbot and cast 40% as black or Asian then it truly would not represent the time I spent there.

Of course there are areas of high diversity, so making a program based in those areas there would be no issue to have a divers cast.

I have no issue with diversity in adverts, movies or TV series, but sometimes I find it distracting if it makes no sense.
