I feel like I'm seeing more Black actors being cast in TV commercials in 2020, but I can't tell if it's actually an increase or if I'm simply paying more attention to it. Is there actual data that proves this one way or the other?
Overall it's a good thing, but I also hope that brands are changing from within and not just casting a Black family in a commercial and thinking SEE WE'RE NOT RACIST

Definitely an increase. And it shouldn’t have taken DECADES to see it happen. Sadly though your later point is most likely the reason.

I think it should be normal to see people of all skin colors in ads regardless of what else the company is doing to combat racism. I'll take that over expecting every company to back up casting with action. Start with the easy stuff at the very least - casting black talent should not be surprising or an issue at all.

Don’t consider this ad racist, but it’s painful to tell it was written by a white person from a frat, approved by a white person from a sorority, intended for white people in frats and sororities.

I was just let go from my company which I really enjoyed working at after only 9 months in a newly created role. I was completely blindsided and told it’s was due to scope and organizational changes. I had no performance reviews or discussions leading up to termination. It didn’t seem like this was a performance driven decision, but I feel completely left in the dark and unsure what to do in this economic climate. Should I ask for more severance (4wk/2 paychecks is what they offered)?
