Is it okay with them? Any kind of proof to back this up?
So... free speech? To the extent that advertising is speech, I guess?
I've been pondering a thought that we need to stop treating racism as something like a witch hunt, and analyze it more like poop. Something that will never be eliminated, but rather is everyone's responsibility to minimize. Anyone can get some on their hands by accident, laziness, or dealing with a problem. But you don't come out of the bathroom waving it around and expecting to be appreciated. And if a bunch of people started proudly declaring that they shouldn't have to wash their hands and generally validating each others' slobbery, they'd be rightfully shunned.
This framing has some nice results like the contortions around "reverse" racism and the whitewashing of "positive" racism as "not racism" aren't necessary. If you're engaging in collectivism based on race, that's racism - regardless of whether your intent is "good" or "bad". And sometimes that's inevitable (cf "dealing with a problem"), but that doesn't mean it's ever something to really be celebrated.
After 160 years of the same political party fighting to rebuild racism, generation after generation, people are done hearing the moralizing excuses for why this time Democrats have the magic formula for virtuous bigotry.
Is this serious comment? There was nothing that happened in the parties in the 1960s? Maybe 1964? All of a sudden the people in the south just suddenly decided to no longer be racist, and joined the Republican party fighting _against_ racism?
After the Civil War, they formed the KKK and Jim Crow to circumvent civil rights.
In modern times, they implemented racial quotas then racial preferences, both of which were ruled illegal bigotry by the US Supreme Court. (At Harvard and UNC, just last year.)
The same party who called blacks “super predators” (Clinton) and whose current president described integrated schools as a “racial jungle” (Biden).
The same party whose supporters are in the streets today, chanting genocidal slogans such as “from the river to the sea”.
The former DNC chairwoman just this week mocked the name of someone born in the US with Indian heritage and told him to “go home!”

That you think the Democrats are anything but persistently racist is a testament to how well propaganda works.
That's pretty much what happened. The CRA (passed despite the opposition of southern Democrats) shifted the social equilibrium away from racism and a segregated society being totally normal and state-sanctioned, and Southern states had to reinvent themselves along different lines. They broadly chose economic freedom starting from the 1980s (despite continuing opposition by Dems, who to this day favor heavy-handed state intervention and a highly paternalistic attitude towards minorities), which is what created the modern Sunbelt.
Eg, this racist policy by Democrats.

Democrats are also systemically racist to Asians such as at Harvard and UNC.

I’d encourage you to stop taking your talking points from KKK meetings about how you’re virtuous for engaging in race-based discrimination.
Your modern apologetics for bigotry are as vapid as 1920s Klansmen talking about “protecting their community”.
"you can’t be racist against Jewish people. the definition of racism centers on power not the tone of dermis. read some different books (Mein Kampf, The International Jew) and open up that independent thinking some."
Pat yourself on the back I guess. Your blind hatred of White people has caused you to use literal Nazi rhetoric.
Not really, because I specifically stated that my response was not about the Musk situation. "Jewish communities hate whites" does sound pretty antisemitic to me.
But so does the equivalent trash of "all whites are racist", which for some reason is a-ok for the advertising companies.
