Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsHave you seen the ad for an investment company featuring an interracial couple, middle
aged, getting their retirement portfolio in shape?
I applaud that company. It was refreshing to see it, albeit pretty much late in the game. It's a good thing, IMO.

I am sorry to say though, that the close minded folks who really need to see positive images of a diverse America, don't have those kinds of ads running during their shows. Advertisers know their demographics.
