^ Aren't they called chocolate drops nowadays?
I guess that name is a discriminatory term these days.
It's always amusing to watch hardened Teakdoor posters whine about discrimination.
Go back to your fucking nanny state losers.
Possibly.Quote:

He's obviously clueless and oblivious, as usual.

There is hardly a new series currently on TV that does not have a black lead, even those period productions where having such characters borders on the ridiculous.

They'll be fine.
I don't watch much Brit tv, but if you believe that's true then you must watch even less. :D
Thing is though, none of the white blokes can drive, cook, or do anything well.
They always need help from an empowered woman, who seems to be able to turn her hand to just about anything.
It's as bad as the most cliched crap from the seventies, with the roles reversed.
As for race, mixed seems to be the way to go. They're just trying to target as many people as possible and that's what adverts are supposed to do.
Compared to real life stuff it doesn't matter much, right?
Just makes business sense . . . look at a lot of Asian ads, quite a few Eurasians in them so they can use the same ads in many countries. Logic, innit.Quote:

To be fair, I am not certain that's the logic they use for the inclusions of Euro's in their adds.Quote:

not interested in reading through TC

Impossible, Smegs retired and in Thailand. His apartment has views over the Andaman sea and he plays tennis in the mornings.Quote:

You must be thinking of someone else.
At the upscale 'Yo Ville' development, apparently. :DQuote:

What is amazing, however, is that it only costs 62 pounds to get from there to the University in the UKQuote:

He did get there on the strength of his cv . . . until he had to verify his claims. Hmm . . .
