I’ve really been having trouble finding ANY corporate advertisement in the past 6 years that hasn’t included some form of racism. It’s not stuff they’re specifically marketing to racists though, it’s just like this repeated and supposedly commonly accepted, “alright guys so we’re all racist again right?” message repeated over, and over, and over. It’s just like, welp, racism has crept back in as our natural human state, but for some reason it needs to be rehashed with some frequency, despite the “that’s just how it is” message. Id rather see racists struggling than gracefully maneuvering social taboos and seeing civil rights as an inconvenience to social progress. Like no hey pal like 99.99999% of us aren’t racist and we don’t want to believe we just saw some rear end in a top hat cough and say “jew” at someone, but in a sort of muffled and secretive and understated way, we don’t want to believe that black guy just got shamed, but a lot of us got that soda in the fridge right now and their wife is wearing that racist perfume. At least we’re seeing people of color on tv yeah, even if it’s some always always always diminutive role? Everything is always this, well maybe that wasn’t intentional, or something that can be brushed under the rug or forgotten, but it just keeps happening, over and over. People didn’t make the same mistake or have the same naive insensitivity 6000 times in a row. They know the threshold for boycott is like non-existant anymore, it is a zero consequence environment so long as it is defensible, marginalized hate speech. What id like to see is people struggling to act racist for money, and wide sweeping purchase blackouts when it happens, enough to make a noticeable difference in quarterlies. Like we’re allowed to know what people are saying without the “well, technically..” argument, or the “if it came down to it..” argument. Like we know what you said, we know what you implied, we’re allowed to know that.

It’s mostly like, well you can’t be “it” because you’re not a perfect person, you won’t attain “that” in its full brevity because you’re not.. I would actually like to see a rendering of what the gently caress the ideal person is supposed to be. All we hear is “partial or cheated access, nice try pal but..” type poo poo. Like why don’t they just show us this perfect person instead of saying what’s not it? Who’s the guy who gets the whole loving package without some fundamental human flaw that should deny them their god-self? With all the “humanity is a loving joke just indulge in this poo poo until it’s ultimate end” themes, SHOW US A RENDERING OF THIS GODDAMN IDEAL PERSON ALREADY, like we want to see the reason we can’t all be fully realized adults. If you programmed all the hate parameters into a computer and say “render somebody that is NOT all of these shameful qualities but humanoid”, what would that look like? Probably stupid, pathetic, and lame af by anybody’s standard. Expressing nothing that makes us, us.
