Black population of the US is about 13% or so. And they make up just 1% or so of ad agency creatives who put together these campaigns, if that. <br /><br />Native American population nationwide is about 1%. So it stands to figure, if you use black participation as a guideline, there's maybe, what, 3 Indian creatives in the entire nation?<br /><br />We're talking about an industry that routinely grabs Italians and puts them in buckskin for photo campaigns and pretends they're Indian. They just don't care. <br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
