White phobia? Where? In what form? I don't see it, what I see is a search for equality by those of color, but that's just me.

As for the identifier phobia... yeah, I guess you mean those struggling with not identifying as a heterosexual male or female with whatever plumbing they were born with and the broader LGBTQ community. I don't see it as a phobia, more a search for belonging by those who feel somehow to not fit the age old labels.

I see both as natural and nothing more than pepe wanting to feel recognized/accepted and to be treated as equals... again, that's just me.

@Ontheroad so why is it that almost every commercial shows a black man with a white woman when they're showing a couple but it's never a black woman with a white man? We already know that most hatred and phobia towards a group is focused on the men of that particular group whether a race, lgbt, or whatever.

@CestManan It's a lame attempt of marketers to show they are being inclusive. Not really effective and in the end, who cares? I see it and recognize it for what it is... a society trying to figure out what being inclusive means. I don't let it bother me.

@Ontheroad I really don't buy products according to whether or not they are so called inclusive because we all know that advertisers are full of it.

@CestManan exactly... it's just a phase in time where people are struggling with a huge societal issue and I see it as that and let it go. It only bothers those who are fixed in their minds that it has to be reflective of their beliefs/wants/desires... I say let it be and in time we'll get there.

@Ontheroad I was watching some video about "woke advertising" and long story short - advertisers know people try to avoid ads no matter what. So NOW their strategy is to try to "Get in on the conversation".

It is like the b@stards want to infiltrate any way they can. It is about as annoying as if you didn't answer the door to religious or vacuum sellers so they went banging on the window or something.

Like christ get out of our hair.

Or like at LGBT parades, the floats are nothing but companies pretending to support lgbt rights.

Maybe you just haven't looked for it. It's everywhere. Just as racism. Or any other discrimination towards a group.
