The first question that Jamie asked was how do other characters view women of color? When I read this question the first thing that came to my mind was that in this episode that I watched Cleveland Browns wife goes over to Quagmires house to borrow something. When Cleveland’s wife walked into Quagmires house Quagmire tried to seduce her so he could have sex with her. Quagmire did this by dimming the lights putting on rap music and even pulled out a bucket of fried chicken and calls her by names like brown suga. Quagmire showed no respect to Cleveland’s wife and treated her differently just because she is a woman of color.
The second question that Jamie asked me was what are some of the other forms of discrimination in the show that you have not discussed yet? One discrimination I haven’t talked about in my logs yet was discrimination of religion. There was a episode where peter is confronted by a Jewish man. Peter knows that he was Jewish because he was wearing a Yarmulke. Peter calls the Jewish man a cheap Bastard, Peter assumes that the man is just because he is Jewish. This is a form of stereotyping and this stereotype is on true.
The third question that Jamie ask me was if I thought that shows like this is showing a bad image on young children. I really do think that tv shows like this is a bad influence on young children. When I was a young child they did not have shows like this or at least my mom and dad kept bad shows like this away from me. Kids are learning negative things from this show and will effect on ways that they act when they get older.

Blog Peer reveiw
The episode that I decided to review for this specific peer review was an episode of Family Guy where racial aspects truly came into play. In the episode described, all of the white police officers were sent back in order to get re-trained. This caused for every person to suddenly become black and be able to roam the streets freely. What Jenae did extremely well with this post was voicing her opinions in a clear and concise manner.
“It also speaks to me of how most of the world is like that, people of color have to act like that of "white" society just to be their equals.” I couldn’t agree with her more because it is often stereotyped throughout or pop culture that African Americans must act as Caucasians in order to be accepted into our society. Throughout the semester we have discussed racial inequalities in lectures, so I felt this was an appropriate topic for both of us to discuss upon.
Family Guy has been known to take a lot of hits at many aspects in our society today, and racism is something that the producers of the show have been doing consistenly. If I were to write up my own blog entry, I would discuss more on how the main characters were acting and if their new found sense of attitude correlated with the way people in our country act today. Unfortunately in the world we live in today, we are all claimed to be equals, however it is evident that people of different ethnicities are looked at from different spectrums, something I only hope can be changed for my grand children.
Questions:
1) Do you believe racism in our country will ever vanish?
2) Should television shows have more sensitivity on racial topics.
3) How much do you think shows like family guy, affect our younger kids as they move forward learning about life?
