Cultural Analysis of Race

"Family Guy" is a show that takes jokes to points where it becomes racist to all different races of people. It’s stereotypical references or cutaways usually have to do with someone’s nationality or someone's skin color being made fun of or being mimicked. The reason why its considered okay or why no one has done anything about it is because the whole show is a joke and no one can actually take it seriously. Most people find it funny because thats where the shows gets most of it’s jokes. This shows that in todays society shows like this that are only going for jokes don’t really bother people even when being made fun of but is still be racist or stereotypical.

Here is a clip of many different cutaways that have no relation to the show at all and are used to make a point but are exaggerated greatly and are stereotypical. In the first two scenes it’s making fun of asians because of their lack of driving skills. In the next one it makes fun of both canadian and mexican people. The stereotypes are that the canadian guy loves to watch curling and in the championship they are playing mexico and the sweeper for the mexican team is a maid cleaning instead of an actual athlete. It also makes fun of black women on how they say “mhm” but instead of saying it in a real conversation thats the only thing they are saying back to each other which never really happens. This shows that not of this actually true because of the exaggeration of all of it.
