Race- and sex-selected actors in commercials

[David Bernstein]

One claim against an airline that uses only women flight attendants in their
ads would be that they discriminated against male actors.  Another is that
they sent a message to potential male flight attendants that the airline
doesn't want them, analogious to the FHA cases.

         As to the Fair Housing Act example, the argument there wasn't that
 the ads involved discrimination against models as employees -- it was that
 they sent a message to consumers that the advertisers would discriminate
 against them against buyers.   >>
