Not only TV shows, but also the news.

Not only do TV shows display acts and thoughts of racism and stereotyping individuals, groups and communities, but the news does as well. During Hurricane Katrina, Caucasians and African Americans were not presented in the same light. Caucasians were seen as taking food to help save their families while African Americans were perceived to be loiters and thieves. Why is it okay to present one community differently than another?

A picture might say 1,000 words, but are you seeing the whole picture or only a fragment of it? The news should be an unbiased source of information for individuals to learn about happenings all around the world. Unfortunately, the news is a bias source of entertainment. Now, this would be okay if everyone had equal access to education and was aware of this situation. Since this is not the case, some people interpret the news to be fact, and that has the potential to be very damaging.
