Racism in Mass Media 2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypIbTpnuNgg
Another way mass media forms all these racist stereotypes is through commercials or advertisements. For example this advertisement I found through youtube posted above is a perfect example. The commercial itself seems like a nice commercial but in the end you can see how the black person is depicted as a worker for the white family. This is a stereotype that America's had for a long time. Black people were looked upon as people who worked under a white family. This racist stereotype came to be because black people used to be slaves. Some kids these days hold these stereotypes against black people because of how the media depicts black people.
