These are clips from "Family Guy." These perpetuations of various stereotypes are humorous. Do I agree with them? Of course not, but they force people to stop and say, "Wow, that is awful." These scenes are all perfect examples of caricatures and stereotypes that may cross the line, but when viewed through the lens of comedy they are purely hilarious examples. The presentation by our classmate got me thinking about "Family Guy" and the often distasteful, yet always funny, antics that it represents. It goes beyond race, however. Seth MacFarlane makes no exceptions.
