Does anyone else question the marketing of McDonalds?

Question

I find it odd that most of the advertising is directed towards black people, yet they only have one (or in some cases 2) chicken sandwiches. Plus they don't even have hot sauce. Wierd?

Answer 1

Don't forget the chicken nuggets brah....lol first of all this is very untrue but a funny question i don't think it is towards black people...neither towards poor people...the people in there commercial don't seem poor at all the market towards PEOPLE and i personally being black don't even like hot sauce or chicken all the much just a stereotype bro

Answer 2

yes, i also question mickey d's marketing.

Answer 3

i dont think its marketed to black peeople so much as to poor-ish people.  although they do have a huge number of "raps" and such.

Answer 4

I don't get it. My Mickey D's has no less than 6 chicken sammies. And I don't get the connection between chicken and black folks.  ???  Maybe you're region has different marketing, but where I live, McDonald's most advertises to children and busy families.

Answer 5

Wow.

First of all, I doubt that "most of the advertising is towards black people", since blacks represent only about 20% of the population.  Second, do you have any empirical evidence that black people prefer chicken to hamburgers, or somehow have a genetic predisposition to crave hot sauce?
