Rasta4eye nah do too bad.
Racism experiment for you all

Following on from the Racism thread...just wanted you all to try a little experiment.

Next time you are infront of the TV for about a hour, just count the number of times you see a racial stereotype especially in the adverts.

A rough example:

Medical adverts where non white staff are just the medical help/nurses..and all doctors are white.

or

if there are actors on TV... the black person (nearly always the black MAN) will be at the back of the group or positioned slightly lower in height than the white person.

or

In a news report..if it is something bad like unemployement or violent crime count the ratio of non-white to white.

It is always subtle but there will be a negative/subservient image attributed to non-white people.

Let me know what you find.
