Hopefully commercials are next. I don't know about in the US but the commercials in Canada are ridiculous. Playbook is simple as much diversity as possible, all families need to be either minorities or at least mixed in commercials and men need to be portrayed as complete useless idiots and women as the head of the household who makes all the decisions.
Our commercials are very similar. It's odd to go so out of your way to make your commercials unrelatable, even ever so slightly. The vast majority of marriages are not interracial, so why would you cast that way?
White women do have a slight out-group bias, when it comes to race, and they buy most of the stuff, so I get why you'd have lots of black or Asian families in commercials (as long as they're acting like white people).

I don't know. In the long run, they have to pander to white women, but who knows exactly what they're doing now.
I've heard people argue that it's an issue of how indoctrinated with woke nonsense all their employees are and there's no easy remedy for how out of touch those people are.

The Simpsons formula except that it works for the Simpsons because it's funny
Also cartoon/animated vs human
I love watching Simpsons outtakes and bloopers
