Y'all may remember my complaint about Internet dating ads in my area only featuring upper class white folks. (Yes, one of the recently added a POc couple. One of them. After years of only showing whites). I just noticed last night that both the gay and straight talk live party line commercials for my area show a mix of people. They will have one with blonde twins, another with a black person, etc., and the folks in the background scroll are mixed. So the singles party line market is not practicing Jim Crow like the internet dating sites. I'm not sure what it means, but I think it's interesting.
