Why, Suddenly Are There So Many . . .
mixed-race couples in adverts? Is it because they're trying to show they're racially tolerant, displaying they're agreeing with current philosophies or merely saying 'it's ok to have mixed-race couples'? If it's for any of these reasons I'm ashamed and disgusted.
Why?
BECAUSE IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

It is not only live actors, mixed race couples are shown in cartoon versions as well. Interesting to note however the mixed face couples are mainly formed with a white wife and a black father, does this send the message that women are less racist than men? Why does it always have to be black and white, why not white and Asian or white and Chinese, come to that why do...

They are there to sell product. Sell product sell product. They are pay as you go actors. £50,000 a go. And for the advertising agency to advertise to future clients and rivals that they are MORE politically correct MORE liberal and MORE tolerant and MORE deserving of future business and LOADS and LOADS of money. It is a perfect little world that does not need you.
It's true, any advert at all that comes through Spotlight (actors portal where such things are advertised) will have a cast with racial, gender and age restrictions placed on the characters which between them all cover pretty much a catch all of British society- and as you can be paid a lot of money as a featured role in an advert, it's simple economics ( also time costs with adverts obviously) to have a mixed race couple rather than 2 x whole families, unless it's plotline necessary. It's done for financial reasons, to show inclusion and for time constraint reasons and to sell their product. Nothing sinister about any of it.
I'm from Hereford myself. Can't say I've noticed many mixed-race couples. I used to have a Japanese lady work for me whose husband is English but I can't think of any others off the top of my head.
Where I live now is one of the most culturally diverse places in the UK but I still can't think of any mixed race couples I know round here.
