I have never blogged before so this is very new to me. Regarding the past weeks readings and class material I feel like a lot of sensitive issues will be brought up. I was really interested in reading the articles. I liked the article that talked about the different television shows and the ethnicities on TV. and the stereotypes made. I like watching other cultures and seeing how different ethnicities live their lives. One of my favorite shows growing up was the Cosby Show. I feel so ignorant because I've never really watched and thought about stereotypes when they were obviously being made. I never thought I listened to the stereotypes but I was. It's hard not too, and stereotypes were being made about people like me. I feel so sheltered because I never sat back and realized how Latinos were stereotyped on television or the lack of Asians on TV. The articles were very interesting and eye opening for me.
I do think it is really awesome how different ethnicities are showing up on television. I think it is about time that they do, especially with my uncertainty and interest in it. It is a shame that it has taken this long to get everyone included on television. However when I do think about shows like the Real World and their portrayal and how they want different ethnicities to be seen is absolutely ridiculous. I think that they are shaping peoples opinions about stereotypes and that is not how it should be.
