Final Exam Question #3

The two videos portray similar stereotypes of black race and culture. In the Ghetto Delta Airlines video, the stereotypes are obviously exaggerated with the language of the white flight attendant which comically to appeal to African Americans, by discussing butts and blunts. Also, the apparel of the black man compared to the white attendent displays the differences of social class. The Everest College Advertisement negatively portrays the African American man in this advertisement as a part of the lower class and uneducated. This ad uses someone who is an African American to negatively describe others from the same race. While one video portrays the construction of race comically by using a white flight attendant to point out the stereotypes, the other video realistically degrades African Americans by using negative stereotypes and generalization.
