Question 3

Discuss the way in which race is portrayed in these two videos:

a. Ghetto Delta Airlines

b. Everest College advertisement

How are they the same, and how different? (50-75 words)

In Ghetto Delta Airlines, race is portrayed that black people are lazy because of the depiction of the man lounging around. It also stereotypes black women of having a large behind and it also uses many swears to stereotype race. In the Everest College advertisement they use a black man to talk about people being lazy and how they should go to school. These videos use race as an stereotype to attempt to appeal to a demographic.
