Racist Cartoons on Television Today

After viewing the racist peter pan clip and its portrayal of Indians, I wanted to find a clip of a cartoon that had racism in today’s media. I feel that racism was more acceptable at the time of the peter pan clip and I wanted to see if today’s cartoons contained racism.

I searched youtube.com for racist cartoons and found a variety of examples, I felt that the TV show Family Guy was the best example. Some of the other media was outdated or not in the mainstream. The clip on youtube is a compellation of clips in the show that contained racism.

As discussed in the past week, race is a man made term and holds no truth genetically or biologically, except for the trivial factors of skin color and appearance. However, the media still contains racist material and it is still a part of society.

This clip relates to the course material with a strong similarity to the peter pan Indian clip. Family Guy tends to focus its racist jokes on African Americans, which can be seen in the clip.
