Paper Abstract:
Critical presentation of the media, arguing that it often promotes negative racial & ethnic stereotypes.
Paper Introduction:
STEREOTYPING AND BIAS IN THE MEDIA
Saltzman (1994) describes the images that have been imposed on us by the media throughout our lives. If provided with no other input than that we receive from mass media sources it is probable that we would believe that:
African-Americans are mostly rap stars, drug addicts, welfare mothers, criminals, and/or murderers. Latinos are illegal aliens, ignorant immigrants who take, but give little back to the country and can't even speak the language, or drug-crazed thugs who have no respect for law or order. Asian-American are either weak, model citizens or inscrutable, manipulative, uncaring invaders of business, especially in the U.S.
