    This is all speculation.

    But if your outrage is minorities portraying white historical figures let me just give the best example of how much business sense it makes. The play Hamilton. Totally blew broadway revenue out of the water. Nothing was ever close per ticket sales. Even the second cast continues strong. It sold everything.

    Nonsense. Those are facts. Why don't you do a web search as was suggested by @Specterx. He gave you the Roadmap to do your own search.

    No worries. I am well versed. This is not a new topic on this board. I remember the boycott Nike movement over Kapernick and the surge in sales that resulted. The latest was Disney had two women kiss and then they became the largest streaming service on the planet thereafter. Diversity pays.

    So they should be black or of color to alleviate your concerns?

    And that you are also unhappy about? So your goal is not just equal outcomes but those equal outcomes must all be for the "right" reasons you approve of?

    No what I am telling you they are making a business decision. Hot tv anchors get ratings. Ratings equals revenue. You just can’t understand I have no concerns because I’m not confused with what these companies are doing. You two apparently are.

    Excuse me? I don’t follow what you are saying here and you keep accusing me of things like I have a goal or concerns. No. You’re the one lost in space that world has passed by so you’re lashing out making wild accusations.

    Yeah, so a company making sound business decisions does not sit right with you? Perhaps you should appeal to the sexist and dirty mindset of the actual viewers, not the decision makers that pander to those viewers. A leadership and nation is only as qualified or unqualified as the people pool such leaders are chosen from. Perhaps it is your society that is behind other nations because other developed nations had female states heads for decades. Germany, New Zealand among many others.

    "Diverse representation"? By my count this ad depicted eleven white males, three white females, two black males, and Ghandi. 82% whites and 65% white males, just 12% black males, 6% "other".

    Thanks for proving my point. Apple would never show an ad like this today, and if they did, they'd be savaged in the leftist media for 'racism' and 'sexism'.
