Can't call a spade a spade as it were.
Is this too edgy for today even as humour?
If so I'm sorry and delete/ issue ban.

Well avoided. Virtuously.
And that's the joke from another era.....
Why pretend
Not just racist but yes deffo a buzz phrase that instantly identifies you as "old fashioned" thinking."Cant call a spade a spade" means people are salty they are not allowed to be a bit racist anymore.
Yes, who would they be looking for? John Steed in a bowler hat? Roger Moore in The Spy Who Loved Me?
And just as a reminder, this all kicked off because someone doesn't like looking at "black people" on the BBC website because that's not "what Brits look like".
You are lying no one said that, What i said waa they over represent them by using them in a lot of images on articles. What is the beef? I live in NI so the news should be relevant to the whole UK but guess what?
We are 99% White, So why use a classroom image where it is two white kids, Two black and one Indian? I look the website everyday and i see it with my own eyes.
You were quoted, therefore people can read what you said.
Could you please post examples of what you are seeing every day; these examples of BBC bias.

I am not trawling the website for links i have better things to do. I See it on a weekly basis at least
It did strike me that every single advert without fail had a black person in it, like seriously there wasn't one advert that lacked someone who wasn't white, normally they had a mix.
I am not trawling the website for links i have better things to do. I See it on a weekly basis at least though anything School or NHS is badly skewed the fact they use Getty which is based on the Murica populations says it all.
Those images reflect a large African American population and they use it on the BBC and also the poster above me seems to also notice they do the same on TV. Either Britain has a lot more non White people than we are being told about or they over represent them.

Hilarious. It's that prevalent you can't find any examples, and that was some backtrack on frequency.
What exactly do you believe the negative impact of over-representation of minorities in advertising to be? Genuine questions, I can point to a raft of negative impacts relating to under representation but I can't really think of a negative to over representation, especially when it's done in an inclusive way i.e. not totally excluding white people.
In addition to that if you have a picture including say 5 people, you have 2 options, round down the proportion of races included in the image based on actual demography, i.e. only include white people as 20% + 20% + 20% + 20% + 19% of the population are white. Or round up in some way to incorporate the top x number of races regardless of demographic percentage. One of those is reflective but isolating, the other is inaccurate (assuming that these things need to be 100% representative based on demography, which they don't) but inclusive.
What should really strike you, is why that struck you.
Also this is so dumb, I refuse to answer and damage brain cells. What you proved by this post is you can sound and look intelligent, But still be stupid.
