Horsey's Cartoon Analysis

Decent Essays
Horsey drew this cartoon to explain how a Starbucks in Seattle was offering a conversation about race with all coffee drinks. The cartoon shows how a conversation like that might be different in different areas. The cartoon labels the customer with a tattoo of the confederate flag with the "Southern Cross". Horsey portrays the customer as a racists when he says," Let's start with how Obama's a dang Muslim Kenyan!" Horsey exaggerates this dialogue and the appearances of both the cashier and costumer (the white people in the cartoon). Horsey shows the wary in the the African American workers face after the costumer responds. Horsey seems to be more against this idea of offering a conversation about race because it causes tension.

    Looney Tunes Television is a prime example for stereotypes, especially in cartoons. For instance, in the Looney Tunes cartoon, Horse Hare, Bugs Bunny is hired by the USA cavalry as a sergeant to protect an army fort from the Indian army led by Yosemite Sam. Because of the use of derogatory terms and Native American stereotypes, this cartoon is rarely ever broadcasted on television because of ethnographic stereotyping. The Indians also speak in stereotypical broken English (“Red whiskered white man big loud mouth braggart”; “Me wouldn’t like to be me tonight”).…

    In this section, Grant tells when he met a supposedly racist auto-shop owner, Bud, but quickly he realizes that he is not who they say. This situation gave me ideas of how I would react if I was in both situations: the owner/store clerk or the customer. This section of People Like Us, showed me that a great way to fix a tension, whatever it’s caused by is to just get out there and start the conversation. For example, Grant says that after talking to Bud about the part and purchasing it, he felt the need to grab Bud’s attention and catch him off guard, even if just for a moment (211). All these ideas of the racial bias behind Minnesota Nice, racism and anti-immigrant violence intense to read about.…

    Moving on to the next point of my analysis, I focused on another aspect of Stewie’s sexuality, especially because sometimes he is portrayed as heterosexual, contrary to other times where he seems to be homosexual, as seen in table 4. In the first scene (episode 7x07), Stewie is besotted by Susie Swanson when seeing her for the first time. The fact that he uses the word angel to refer to her led me to believe that he is heterosexual since he is in love with another baby but of the opposite sex. This is complemented by what appears in the second scene (episode 7x07), where Stewie claims that Susie is so hot.…
