Stereotypes/Racism Prevalent in Movies and TV

Stereotypes of course still exist in this judging world of ours. Though traditional roles are being challenged, judging will always exist. An example of a stereotyping traditional role that has been challenged throughout the years is the role of women as a stay-at-home mother/wife and homemaker. Women now have been given more rights and freedom, and dare to act and behave just like their male counterparts.

Advertising is not necessarily solely responsible for stereotyping and racism, as people always will have judgements about others, but it does contribute. It feeds on the notions that are already present in people's minds.

An example of a movie where stereotyping occurs is "White Chicks" because there is an assumption that blondes are not smart.      

  

An example of a tv show where racism occurs would be BET's "The Game" where "typical" characterizations of whites and blacks are prevalent.
