Asian American Commercial Watch: Target’s Back-to-School Suggestions

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glquKfXhLFo

Target has launched its back-to-school push, highlighting a “2nd Grade Teacher” discussing all the school supplies your child needs for the new school year. The teacher seems to be a bit too excited, enthusiastic and energetic for my tastes. But I do have to say, I’ve always enjoy the beginning of a new school year or semester – that feeling of starting new all over and a sense of possibility.

Target has been great showcasing Asian Americans in their commercials and this marks the 6th commercial by Target that I’ve covered – the first being the best with “Cool Mom,” “Over-protective Mom,” “Exasperated Mom,”  “Tiny Tree,” and most recently, “Trail Mix.

[EDITOR’S NOTE: The actress is Tania Gunadi, an Indonesian American who you may have seen in recent campaign for the Honda Civic.]
