Look, I'm not going to say all television marketing is racist, and I get that if you're going to scam people into your project, it certainly may help if the target can identify as much as possible with the actors in your commercial. Depictions of working-class black women will certainly appeal more to working-class black women, but this is the United States and the majority of commercials have white people, the occasional token black, an out of place Latino, rarely Asians, and sometimes Others.
I don't expect to see a Kentuckian of questionable ancestry anytime soon, nor am I questioning race and ethnicity in commercials, but I am questioning it at 4 in the morning. Do advertisers think only blacks watch television that early, or was it a fluke placement? If nothing else, for once, the commercials depicted authentic portrayals of blacks, they didn't look like they were exploited for entertainment value, and basically you couldn't tell they were written by rich white kids whose only exposure to people outside of their culture is their South Korean-born gardener and MTV. This was just something I found really odd.

Mississipi and slavery. No, no, I still can't forget
they just now outlawed it last year.
