The white "Jake from State Farm" was WAY more interesting than the black boring guy.

Read that they replaced the white Jake to be more inclusive. Can you imagine landing a gig that might lead to a Flo at Progressive type deal then get canned for being white?

Flo sees herself as Native American.
I would gladly give up Flo to get back some of the other good white actors. White people may not be able to jump but blacks can't act.- at least in commercials. The black "Jake" is a prime example--he's TERRIBLE.

That company already had a strong image, be using the new Jake it gave the impression that he was a job recruitment poster.
