Peacemaker tv series - How frequent is racism seen in a world where racist groups are frowned upon vs an alternate world where a racist group is in power

Moral Panic:

A world where the ruling power is racist/built on racism would make racism normalised

(dominant race: think racism is acceptable towards others)

(minorities: give in to racism against them)

Research Topic: Comparison in frequency and type of violence in Tom & Jerry change between the original MGM theatrical shorts (1940s) and the 1975 television series
