This topic is a civil rights issue that is still very hot today. Racial portrayal is still happening in the media. It has cut down a lot, and has been cutting down more recently, but it was still going until the 1990's. Even though the amount of stereotyping has gone down in the past couple of years, there is still so much of it. Like on some T.v show's, like the Chapell's show, he openly talks of how black have a harder life and whites are all rich and got it easy, and the occasional Mexican who is just like a janitor or something who ads the comic relief. There is allot of racism on that show.

All over the media there is racism, another show is Mind of Mencia, the only thing his show is made up of is pretty much racism and stereotypes. I am positive that if there were no stereotypes or any sort of racism he would not have a show at all. But another thing is, is that people think that it's downright hilarious. When he degrades people and makes another or even his own race seem inadequate or unacceptable people laugh. Not only does he make fun of ethnic groups but also the mentally challenged, in ways that no one would want to. But the thing is people still laugh at it and repeat what he say's over and over again. After saying all of this I am sure that stereotypes have not completely left the media and still linger in the minds of most people.
