Do you think all diverse groups are featured equally?
No, i dont believe that all diverse groups are featured equally.i believe this because oftenly blacks and whites are shown in the media more than hispanic and other races i say this because most african americans are shown on television for crime and causasions are likely to be broadcasted for the good. the only time that hispanic, asian,chineese,and excetera are shown is for a broadcast for crimes, strikes, and/or parades.
No, i dont think that all groups are featured equally.i believe that the focus is more so on caucasion and african americans.I believe this because the african americans groups gets alot of negative exposure and caucasions seem to get a more posative reputation
