I wanted to analyze another one of my favorite shows, Family Guy. This show gives great examples of how race and gender are all portrayed in the mainstream media.
Take gender first. Peter Griffin is the typical stupid oblivious husband figure like Homer Simpson. His wife, Lois, is always shown correcting his elementary mistakes. She is also shown as a sex object.
African-americans are shown as being ghetto and lacking proper english. It falls into the typical black stereotype.
Family Guy is one of many shows that create stereotypes. With technology growing is there any way to prevent these stereotypes from happening?
