Agreed.
But it does feel at times like companies are falling over themselves to over-represent minorities in the sake of diversity.
Not just race.
Finished watching The Umbrella Academy recently and slightly rolled my eyes when Vanya - who had a boyfriend in Season 1 - suddenly falls for some woman she meets in the past. One of the others is already gay so that's 2 out of 7, which seems a bit statistically unlikely.
And in Schitt's Creek David meets some bloke who has a fiancee but of course secretly he's the "only gay in the village" in small town USA.
It's not a major issue but companies are falling over themselves to be "woke". Sign of the times I guess.
I think you're in danger of missing the really important issues.

I don't have any problem with it. I don't watch TV, I don't shop at Sainsburys or go out of my way to watch their adverts. Suspect 99.999% of people couldn't care less either. It's the steady diet of non-stop virtue signalling from corporations and organisations like BLM that keeps drawing attention to peoples differences.

I think the bigger issue us "Minorities / Blacks / Ethnics" have is why we are not represented more in senior / upper management positions in companies such as Sainsburys etc
Being included in adverts for Christmas isn't really helping race relations, it's actually quite insulting given the timing of it.
Do you think that's just about race and racism? Isn't classism and old boys network a factor here?
Let's face it, Boris Johnson hasn't got the roles he's had on merit, he's an old Etonian and that opens a lot of doors.
I'm not saying racism is fixed now but I'd suggest things are better than they were, but any progress takes a generation to trickle up into the most senior positions.
This is historically a white, Christian nation. Logically this is reflected in the establishment power structure. It has taken working class people and women centuries to achieve a degree of representation. I wonder why blacks and ethnic minorities believe they are entitled to a fast track?
