According to American television shows and commercials, America is 50% homosexuals (of one kind or another) and 50% Black people with a White spouse. It is one thing for people in foreign countries to believe this, and they do believe it. But it takes on a whole new meaning when so many Americans and American Corporations believe the same thing. That is just stupid.
Homosexual less than 5%
Transsexuals less than 1%
Regular Normal Americans over 90%
So, 90% of Americans must change their entire lives by law including standard language in order to play make-believe nonsense with less than 10% of the population, most of whom are mentally ill in some way.
I'm not doubting that this phenomenon of flawed demographic perception exists, because I, too, have noticed the skewed representation of various groups on television, especially.
But, I really believe it is up to people to patronize corporations which target their demographic, and if people do that in their patronage, the perceptions being marketed will eventually fall back in line with reality, unless truly merited by the individual performers.
If you feel the product isn't 'you', don't buy, and as you have noted, don't be afraid to point out the distortion between the image and the actual culture.
