I saw this sign at the airport in Dallas.
They made sure to depict two black men, oddly enough without a white woman beside either one. Instead, they placed her between two Hispanics. In the racially conscious world we now inhabit, a sign such as this sends a clear message: White men need not apply.
Reblogged this on murderbymedia.
This reflects the demographics employed at urban airports, in case you’ve never noticed.
Don’t worry. White men are still the overwhelming majority of actors in TV, films, commercials and most ads, posters.
Of course it does. Because those are the people they are interested in hiring – which is exactly my point.
Most jobs at urban airports are fairly cushy jobs, reserved for people who cannot/will not do hard or complicated work. Looking at the demographics of the TSA, it surprises me not at all that they are known for their incompetence.
Hold on. There are 2 white guys in the ad as well.
I don’t get the offense at seeing black folk in ads. They do exist, you know.
Look at that nose and hair. That’s not a White woman. That’s a really light-skinned mulatto.
The White woman is further back, between the Black men.
