yes, it's the new normal, white ppl no longer exist (despite still being by far the majority) meanwhile companies are complaining of decreasing revenues as customers turn to non woke alternatives online

That's maybe not so much a push towards 'woke' culture or anything, that's more just ad companies trying to cram as many different types in in the theory that the audience can see
someone that's vaguely like them. You'll see it especially in ads from big companies intended for global use... you'll often see that kinda-dark, kinda-asianish sorta person in there who hopefully doesn't look too out-of-place no matter where it's viewed. Don't know if you ever watched it, but I remember Gruen touching on that a few times.
That said, yeah, there are absolutely times they just shoehorn in someone to be all edgy and "look how with the times we are".
