Stunning lack of people of color in these ads, amirite? I was a child of the 60s and remember reading billboards on family road trips. “Where are the brown people?” Our optics have improved but wow this fault of advertising has to have aided in slow progress overall. I know it was the choice of the clients, but what a missed opportunity to alter the conversation decades ago.
