Answer:
A stereotype is a set idea that is used to describe a particular type of person or thing that acts or behaves a certain way. Different ethnic groups are heavily prominent stereotypes shown throughout television, marginalizing entire groups of people. The media is a powerful tool in spreading messages throughout the world and it’s important to have accurate representation of all cultures. An excellent example of TV portraying an ethnic stereotype is the “angry black woman” as a character, typically being sassy and loud-mouthed with a tendency for verbal and physical abuse. It is unreasonable an entire race to one set of character traits even though the majority of that race does not condone such behavior. A cousin of mine, Lanyejah Frierson, 13, has previously stated that some of today’s media makes her feel “disappointed in society” and “hopeful for a better future”. African Americans are not the only ones to be racially profiled. All racial groups have been portrayed as a stereotype at one time period or another, and it’s something that everyone should be aware of in order to prevent it from influencing people to have negative thoughts about one another.
Not only are different ethnic groups marginalized as a certain way, but different regions of the country can be discriminated against, as well. People in the north are depicted to be rude and obnoxious people with big personalities while people from the south are shown as country rednecks. While there are few people who do fit this role, it is unfair for people to assume that everyone from these regions are like that.
