Racial Bias in Media

Why we have Racial Bias in media

Paragraph Ideas

Television

How they portray people of color

Viewing whites as superior

America's history and how it is brought up in media

Racism against people of color

How they talk about politics

How you were raised with various identity groups

American History

Poverty

Use them as a Scapegoat

Gangbangers

Everything bad that happens is shown

never really showing the good things

They all use our government benefits

Especially with slavery

Blaming people of color for everything bad happening

Especially assuming that every muslim is a terrorist

Especially with talking down on other races and saying that politicians should make the choices about their lives.

Most politicians are White men

Stereotypes

Most characters on shows are white

Especially cartoon characters

For example Black Panther was the first black superhero for marvel

Commercials with mostly white actors and two people that are normally of color

Especially making African Americans seem ghetto and in poverty

We grow up with different lenses of identity

An example "The officer was confused and shot him on accident"

Normally an African American and someone from a Mexican dissent
