Politically correct advertising?
I don't know anything about the advertising industry, but it struck me the other day how many advertisements there is depicting a white male as the “ignorant” character in advertisements.

To name a few: The Vodacom ads (Man with the chicken suit and the ads with Micheal de Pinna) The Bizhub ad, Tile company ads, the GPS ad. I was wondering whether it was deliberately or coincidental.
