Did it happen after Obama became a serious candidate for Office?
It seems that 5 years ago, you'd see very few (and in fact I can't remember any) commercials featuring interracial couples. eHarmony has been at the forefront in a change I've been watching come along for a while, one that signals a very big shift in how advertisers view the American sentiment with regard to race relations.
It's part of a welcome change, but I wonder whether the commercials are shown mostly in the wonderful melting pot that is my geographic area of South Florida.
Are they aired in your area?

Nope - my area is too conservative to air such representations of Americans. Instead, I've only ever seen the lily white couples on eHarmony commercials.
Shoot. I thought it might be a regional thing, but was hoping that wasn't the case. :(
You bring up a really Good Point. For someone like me, I don't even look twice or think twice if I see an interracial couple in a commercial. It wouldn't make me more or less willing to become a client. But, I can definitely see this being an issue is some places around the country.
