What is love?
Apparently only for white people.
Dude, you do realize this ad is Italian right? Those people are Italian, because it’s an Italian ad. Italian people are typically white. This ad is suppose to be about acceptance in THEIR country, why would they have models that don’t look like they’re from their country?
I’m gettin’ real tired of tumblr’s attitude. I’m probably going to get a lot of hate for this, but here we go.
Not everywhere is as mixed as North America. You go to places like Japan and it would be really weird to see a white person in their ad, it’s no different for places like Italy and Germany where people are mostly white. In North America we seem to have a decently even mix in a lot of areas so it’s a little off-putting when there’s only a certain race -generally all white people- depicted, where it’s completely normal and would appear really strange otherwise for other countries. Like you wouldn’t go to China and demand they show white people in their ads there, so why would you do the same for a country that has very few PoC compared to it’s population?
As the person above me said, why would they have models that don’t look like they’re from their country in their ads?
it shouldn’t matter in the first place, I mean if we so badly want equality then having someone shout up about it every time there’s a race missing is dancing neatly around an opportunity to get equality.
equality is not when there’s an equal amount of each race in every movie or when your allow someone into a college because of their SKIN COLOUR so that your college has a shining “acceptance” or “equality” badge.
equality is looking past the skin colour.
picking someone for a movie because they’re best for the role NOT BECAUSE YOU NEED MORE ASIANS TO LOOK POLITICALLY CORRECT.
so next time you see an add and wow- look at that there’s only one black man in the entire cast (or vice versa) it might be because they were actually equal and fair and allowed who they did in because of their abilities. it just so happened to be for this add that those people fit in.I think people here are also missing the point that this is an italian ad. Against homophobia. In Italy we don’t actually have a law against homophobia. Italy is the european country with the highest homofobic rate.
But there’s an ad against it.
I, as italian, am so freaking happy about this. Finally. Something like this exists
We don’t have many things to be proud of, but this ad can be one of them.
