Ah, I see the dilemma.
When you're promoting a YouTube motorist community channel and a failing British singer's profile dealing with
a scene that is supposed to represent a real-world incident, something that most onlookers would just perceive
as an unusual accident in a usual situation, there are particular rules to adhere to.
Ethnicity in today's society is a must, as well as the subtleties of victim-blaming. The 'White-Man-Bad' scenario
has been so over-done now that to give the incident some credibility, those who are deemed 'common-folk' will
come in all shapes, colours, accents and sizes.
The heroic people who struggling with careers far-loftier than some Royal Mail truck driver and Ellie Goulding's
taxi driver, can see what the problem is straight away and are always there to lend a measured hand on how to
evaluate what is right and what is wrong.
The scene offers diversity, it gives the viewer an opportunity to see that we're all born with particular slants on
the way we talk and how reasonable a black person can be when they make a mistake. You'll notice that the
singer didn't actually open the car door straight away, but waited for the truck driver to, so that the dialogue
can be presented.
The Asian taxi driver merely filmed it -as he said, for evidence. Jack Joy -the Assistant Producer for the car
community (Jack Joy, really?) seemed unperturbed by his strange journey and could be seen relaxed without
any sign of road-rage or annoyance.
The actual logistics of how a car on a continually-moving one-way duel-carriageway can get itself into a position
where a truck can not only capture it side-on, but go unnoticed by it's driver, are lost when presented with the
rich diverse tapestry of everyday London commuters.
No ginger-haired person or a cripple in the scene...? Outrageous and the Director of this promotion should be
fired!!
