Throughout the years, this subject has been a bone of contention from various perspectives. Unlike the past when the issue was discussed silently, the present sees it often talked, with the intention to come up with solutions that can last. In the current American society, pop culture has played a major role in addressing this issue. Through the use of songs, advertisements, films among many other avenues, the issue has been addressed conclusively. The current trend has seen a move by the government and other stakeholders to ensure that gender-based violence and discrimination based on one’s sex are done away with.…
Stereotypes of people of color and minority races have been around for many years, and have proved themselves to dominate the perception of people of color in everyday life. Films portray people of color as they are perceived by white Americans, not how they truly are, unique. Film has only dirtied the minority races’ image over time, though if the movies were not made by other Americans, they were more accurate to their race. Stereotypes of Asians have been around for a long time, ever since Asians were introduced. Stereotypes such as Asian students are smarter, Asian women are more exotic and tend to wait on men, Asian women are submissive, Asian people are all from China, and many others.…
Colored actors are easily found in television and films today but are poorly recognized for their brilliant work and are only recognized because of the white actors that are co-stars or screenwriters. Gay and lesbian couples are starting to pop up every now and then in the media and the shows that they are in are some of the most popular shows such as Grey’s Anatomy, The Fosters, and Modern Family but they are stereotyped as the two popular girls who are experimenting or the men who dress really well and talk with high voices. Transgender characters are very new to the media and although they are scarce they are needed and loved when they do appear in shows like Orange is the New Black. Having representation is very important for young men, women and others that are trying to find who they are and live their lives to the fullest and the media is where people find their role models and inspirations so when a large group of people are represented it is a huge setback for the newer…
Why: Currently, the American public is about 40 percent minority and that’s increasing by about half a percent every year. The viewing audience is very diverse and people want to see their own stories and…
Hollywood over uses the negative stereotypes that Latinos can 't shake off. Latinos are always being labeled badly in films. They also cannot seem to advance in their careers and continue getting only supporting roles. To change these circumstances both communities and celebrities need to fight for a better change. If we do not expand roles beyond the misconceptions, create Latino based film companies, and have communities’ fight back Latinos will always be viewed awfully.…
In addition, this series may be harmful to some viewers because they can unintentionally fill their heads with stereotypes about certain cultures or ideas that they might not have even been introduced to before. For example, in spite of the rating a child may stumble upon the show and hear the terms used in the show that they may never have been exposed to like “blacks and “whites”. As the years go by integration gets better and these terms are used less in less, so a youth that has previously seen people in color like the generations before them; might come as a result of watching the series at too young of an age. In conclusion, when dealing with satire there is always the chance of misinterpretation.…
The show “Love and Hip-Hop” show how African-Americans are portrayed in the entertainment industry. The show, shows both male and female entertainers, entrepreneurs, singers producers, song writers etc. As the show is very diverse, it continues to show the African-American females in a not so positive way.

Latinos are the least represented race when it comes to media, even though they make up 18% of America’s demographics. When I looked up latino casted movies, only THREE came up; when I looked up mainly white casted movies thousands of movies showed up. I understand that plenty of movies showed up for all black casted movies, but African…
For example, Johnny Depp’s take on a Native America in the movie The Lone Ranger or Max Minghella as Divya Narendra in the Social Network. “Achieving greater diversity in film and television is about more than just putting non-white faces on the screen, Shukla said. How the entertainment industry portrays these characters is just as important.” (7) Hollywood is ignoring that diversity is more than adding in random characters of color with no purpose. The old tradition of whitewashing is also not helping the Hollywood financially, like they claim.…
Periodically, in the film industry, people of color are portrayed, but there is a lack of behind the scenes work. I find it ironic how there are thousands of people…
The Entertainment Industry plays a huge role in our culture and society today. It is a tool that can be used to inform, voice opinions, and promote products using hidden advertising and product placement. The entertainment industry is very powerful and influential to its audiences. One obligation that the entertainment industry has failed to provide is the politically correct portrayal of minority actors. It is argued that the dominate race in the entertainment industry is white actors, which poorly represents the racial makeup of our society.…
