Why are blacks in commercials very light skinned and never that dark Anyone else not?

When I say well done tan, I mean something like this:

I guess we have to agree to disagree. That tan, while not a total disaster, still sort of gives off the feeling that she's fake, dumb, and plastic. Maybe some people find it to be exotic and unique, but here it's so played out and run-of-the-mill that it totally loses that part of the appeal.

It's like a full body tramp stamp.

Something barely noticeable but it creates an effect that is generally more attractive than pasty.

Depends on the girl too. Christina Hendricks is incredibly pale but also considered incredibly attractive.

and to OP, it's called universal appeal

light skinned black or round about there is considered one of the more desirable skin tones for most people of all races. i know lots of white, asian, black, etc. people into girls/guys that were light skinned black more than other skiin tones.

and yeah dark skinned black got the most crap. not even from other races, black people would jones on dark black people the most from what i've seen. i guess thats because its too taboo for other races to talk about black person shades but if there is one thing i see black people jone'in on with other black people is their darkness.

The "blacks" used in advertisements are almost always biracial. This is done because its considered a more palatable presentation for the predominantly white audience.

Asians in ads are often mixed as well.

Dont believe me? Check out the ads in your Sunday paper, and take a close look.

That's just not true. I'm white and paleness is definitely more desirable than the orange oompa-loompa tan you see people with. Or the flat out pink/red sunburned effect. I live near the beach and it's only the tourists that are obsessed with being tanned

I don't notice stuff like that. All I can say is, white people to me, are very good looking compared to most animals. There is something about the white race that transcends our own species.
