Both racist and egalitarian ideas and symbols can be found in every part of American history and culture. Each portion of the following exercise is intended to have you examine some part(s) of your cultural environment for examples of both racist and egalitarian messages, symbols and interactions. It should be noted that a curious and disturbing feature of prejudice is that many of our beliefs and attitudes about other racial or ethnic groups are formed without any direct contact with members from these groups. The media most notably television play a significant role in providing the public with often inaccurate and oversimplified information about racial and ethnic groups that indirectly shapes public attitudes. Your task is to analyze a variety of television programming.
