Media stereotype
From the article the writer explains that Media stereotypes are usually done to goof off with other people’s religious, country or community. They use what symbolizes a community and use it to make fun of them, examples are like if an Arabian, the character will have a beard and if they were Jews they would have a funny accent. It is shown off mostly where we least expect. From movies, most viewers will notice the aspect of racism if it was presented and this is because most movies are for teenagers or adults. But if racism was shown in cartoons people will not have notice much. This is because the viewers are mostly children where they don't know or understand racism much. Other than that stereotype that’s shown in cartoons isn’t much noticeable or it may be because it’s in a form of cartoon and people tend to not take this issue seriously. This is maybe why they put in a form of cartoon, so that they (the producer) can make fun of others while people not realizing it. But it may be also to put young children in mind what are other people like. With this they can influence the children easier to hate those people or like them. The cartoons that was mention in the article is most of all stereotype media that I've seen only I didn't realize this at ALL until I read the article. There were some, not many movie (maybe I didn't realize) I've seen that were stereotype. But the one cartoon that are for adults that is guarantee as a stereotype media is Simpson.
