Our topic is on female minorities and how they are portrayed in the media. Minorities refer to different races, religions, social classes, sexual orientations, and gender differences. Specifically, we will take a look at racial minorities, as they are usually viewed in a different light when it comes to media representation. Our topic is relevant because in a society where we are supposed to be striving for equality amongst all people, there are still instances where we see a particular group of people underrepresented, especially in the media.
We will use a variety of sources to examine the current representation of women minorities in the film and television shows and use this information to inform the public on the growing issue of underrepresentation and ridicule of female minorities in various types of media.
