stock photo models and community college campus brochures, Target store models, most of the models have a disability or obesity or conventionally unattractive, are these the poster children for our current generation? It’s getting a little out of hand.
This post screams “I’m being oppressed!”
No, I was just on college campus and I saw a huge poster representing soccer and the model looked like he had downs syndrome, not that there’s anything wrong with that, but c’mon, is that really representative of the majority of the population at that college? no.
It’s not representative of the majority of the population because that’s not who that ad was targeted towards. It was targeted toward the minority that happen to be good at soccer and also have down syndrome. It’s telling those people that they are allowed to participate in the college experience too.
I know it’s sometimes shocking to not be a part of the target audience for advertisements, but it’s something that you just need to accept.
