Emma Monk @monkemma.bsky.social · 02/11/2025The full ad featured: 9 white 2 black 1 Asian So yes, it was one of the 51% of adverts with a black person in it. No, 51% of the people in the advert were NOT black 6/ 117011
Emma Monk @monkemma.bsky.social · 02/11/2025The Times did the same thing. Used an ad containing a mixed-race actress to showcase the “over-representation” of ethnic minorities. The irony being that it was a still from another award winning advert for age inclusion covering perimenopause. 7/ 21053
Emma Monk @monkemma.bsky.social · 02/11/2025So what else did the channel 4 report show? 2/3 say DEI is important to them 2/5 are personally affected by issues relating to DEI 52% actively support DEI 77% agree DEI is important in advertising - an increase since 2023 It’s almost as if Twitter and Reform are totally out of touch🧐 8/ 316216
Radiohead319 💙 @radiohead319.bsky.social · 29/01/2026You'd need an incredibly sensitive "race-omoter" to notice/know which one of those actresses is "mixed race"! Really? Do people notice that level of detail in adverts? And if they do, how/why does it upset them?! 010
