Oh, absolutely, I’m not that naive.
But one if the goals of a marketeer is to not alienate your customer base.
It’s a small point, it’s not terribly that important, it’s just “whatever”, if an alien landed and started watching tv he’d think that the U.K. demographic was 85% non-white and 15% white and that there was some law that prevented white couples, all couples have to be different ethnicities.
Just a bit annoying which is the point she was making, and it’s a fair observation.
But thinking on, one group you never see represented in adverts are Muslim women, there’s one doing the rounds now for the probation service, which a woman in Hijab, I can’t think of any others, certainly niqabs or burkas!
