SPOTLIGHT FEATURE

By Neftali Valle
 
I feel like it is a common understanding that the media is notorious for perpetuating ideals of what it means to be beautiful, white, non-white, gay, male, female etc. However, here is a specific example of just how far they go to reinforce and maintain hierarchies of dominance. It's a pretty lengthy video, but I'd like to point out a couple things that some of these actors made.
