Old Navy has recently gotten some criticism for posting an ad displaying an interracial family. The commotions that this picture has created only speaks to the lack of advisement that displays this specific demographic of families. Thus, I would have to say, this is not a common occurrence, and Old Navy’s initiative has resonated with some families as evidenced by some of the comments of appreciation from some of the families that feel represented by this ad. This type of attention reminded me of the intention behind some advisement as displayed in the article Google Bases a Campaign on Emotions, Not Terms by Miller (2016). While I think Old Navy has good intentions, I believe the attention this ad got was very pre-calculated and intentional.
