Week 6: Television

In Chapter 9 it talks about stereotypes on television. Here is an example of an Indian stereotype; people assume that all Indians have a thick accent.
-The length of this video is 32 seconds.
-This video is targeting Indians as people that are easy to push around because of their accents.
-In our Mass comm. workbook it had us list a few stereotypes that we usually see on TV.
-We just took the quiz on Thursday, therefore I am not able to select a question from the quiz.


 
Another stereotype that I saw on TV is this one below. It is targeting that Mexicans are not smart; they can only come up with making a different taco shell.
-This also shows that Mexicans party a lot.
-Once again in Chapter 9 mentions a section about stereotypes.
-The length of this video is 15 seconds long.
-We just took the quiz on Thursday, therefore I am not able to select a question from the quiz.

  1. I don't find the taco as offensive as the Metro PCS ad, just because tacos are a Mexican food.
