Details of Project
This project investigates how negative portrayals of racial and ethnic groups in popular movies and TV shows impact societal perceptions and reinforce harmful stereotypes. By analyzing The Blind Side and The Simpsons, the research examines how these narratives misrepresent marginalized communities, often reducing them to simplistic or harmful depictions. The goal is to shed light on how such portrayals shape public opinion and contribute to ongoing biases, emphasizing the need for more nuanced and accurate storytelling in media.
