1.) The Pillsbury’s Funny- Face Drink advertisement perpetuates a racist stereotype in which it is insinuating what Native Americans and Chinese people look like and by also using terms such as “Injun Orange” and “Chinese Cherries.”
2.) This GE advertisement is portraying an incredibly racist stereotype by displaying an African American boy eating fried chicken and speaking in “ebonics.”
3.) Nike advertisements perpetuate a stereotype in which most of the models are African American and showing off their “most distinguished attributes.”
4.) Many yogurt advertisements are targeted towards women informing them that they need to stay thin, especially if they want to keep their husband or even try finding one.
5.) There are countless amounts of advertisements that perpetuate a stereotype with sexual innuendos. The ads promote anything from a hamburger at Burger King to Puma shoes.
any suggestions?
The Nike one is very interesting because the stereotypes probably don't seem obvious to most people today. In fact it's not clear, from your description, what is stereotypical about this. You might look for other ads from that series and see how non-African Americans are portrayed, for contrast.
