Cartoons and Racism - Post #9 - Pilar Nelson

When I look at cartoons and aminated movies and see the characters display as stereotypes of different types of ethncities. I honestly do not get offended or see it as wrong. I am not saying that it is wrong or right, I just don't see anything wrong with it. I do not believe that it is done out of hatred or a way to target or discriminated against a particular ethnicity. I just find it entertaining, adorable, cute and funny. I believe that it gives us a reason to laugh at ourselves and accept each others differences and culture. When looking at these shows or movies, I do not see a particular individual acting out a stereotype of their culture, I just see a cartoon character. That's it.
