There exists a very common theme over time of whitewashing the cultures of people of color in education, television, media, history, etc. The artists I have included are working towards combatting that sort of cultural degradation in order to reclaim the narratives in our society.]]> 2022-02-28 22:55:37 UTC https://padlet.com/eengeland1/ncb2b0e3pnq99ncb/wish/2070420502 eengeland1 https://padlet.com/eengeland1/ncb2b0e3pnq99ncb/wish/2070432161 As a white, cis-gendered female, I am in an extremely privileged position within this wide-spanning network. Despite my research and active participation to learn more about topics of racism, I recognize that I will never be able to understand the impact or implications that media depictions place on people of color.
When exploring the artists and examples (from the past, and today), this project helps me to realize my part within this network. Like our class readings have mentioned, racism is like a fog that constantly exists in the air. As a white individual, I must do my part to be actively anti-racist within society and educate myself and others on relevant topics concerning race in society. I must actively reevaluate the things I have learned in my past, and the way this has shaped my identity. By acknowledging my own flaws, and researching ways to combat them, I can attempt to clean some of the fog in the air. This work impacts the way I view the world, and how I create meaning of what I see in the media. Especially during this time in our society, I feel as though this work showcases the active (and somewhat cautious) attitude that we should have when consuming media. This network (which doesn't even include all minority identities) makes me more aware of the privilege I have experienced throughout my life, and how others do not get the same treatment that I often take for granted. ]]> 2022-02-28 23:09:42 UTC https://padlet.com/eengeland1/ncb2b0e3pnq99ncb/wish/2070432161 eengeland1 https://padlet.com/eengeland1/ncb2b0e3pnq99ncb/wish/2070438255 Taking the heritage and meaningful culture of Indigenous groups and turning them into kitschy fashion and mascots does not honoring identities, but rather completely disrespects their deeper meanings. ]]> 2022-02-28 23:18:08 UTC https://padlet.com/eengeland1/ncb2b0e3pnq99ncb/wish/2070438255 eengeland1 https://padlet.com/eengeland1/ncb2b0e3pnq99ncb/wish/2070443115 From a young age, children are shown these sort of racist depictions of other races. Amid a culture that consistently whitewashes society, this can have longterm implications like a complete lack of respect and understanding for other cultures.

These highlighted examples showcase just a few of the countless implications that exist due to misguided media representation. 
Despite the racial "progress" we have experienced as a society, there are still clear examples of racism that go unnoticed in society. Political cartoons (of the past and present), the tropes we see in television, the media headlines we read, the books we show our children, and the commodification of heritage and culture, create and reinforce stereotypes that create untrue social identities of people of color. These stereotypes aid in the creation of racist ideals that impact our education system, healthcare systems, financial systems, representation/leadership, and many other important parts of our society.
