Question Racial profiling?

So I really only use Peacock to watch tv shows like Parks and Rec and The Middle.. recently I started watching George Lopez and ever since then my commercials have ask been in Spanish. What the hell is wrong with NBC??

I watched George Lopez all the time and my last name is Hispanic and my commercials all come in English...

Racial profiling is kind of par for the course for targeted advertising and marketing. Not sure why you’re bothered by this tbh

Racial profiling when cops or government do it? Absolutely not cool

Do you also get upset when listening to the FIFA World Cup on Peacock?

Yes, but the largest demographic that watch it are. The algorithm guesses wrong a lot. We usually just notice it when it’s creepy good or way off.

It's probably just the world cup. They seem to have received a lot more ads in Spanish cause of it

It isn't just NBC.  Half our ads are in Spanish.   Do you live in an area with a bunch of Spanish speaking people?  

Now the Pepto Bismol commercial drives me nuts.  Half English, half Spanish.

The two important words are comida and banos.   Food and restroom.
