The other day in class the question of why cartoon characters are less offensive than actors and actresses when it comes to stereotypical characters was raised. I think that cartoon characters seem make believe therefore the stereotypes and offensive characteristics are taken more lightly. People don't relate these cartoons to real life so the stereotypes don't seem real or quite as offensive. Actors and actresses on the other hand make it easier for the audience to relate to real life. Therefore the stereotypes seem real and close to the heart. This makes them come off as more harsh and offensive.
