Societies, Stereotypes, and their Interactions with Minorities

by Andrej Damjanov 

In my speech, I discussed my illustration analysis from week 2 for Minor Feelings and my commentary on Reel Injun from week 9. I discuss my analysis for Minor Feelings, where societal characteristics have resulted in minority groups being forced into conforming with societal expectations and stereotypes, which has caused cultural conflict and hostilities. I also explain my commentary on Reel Injun, where I discussed how Native American stereotypes in cinematography have worked to destroy the perspectives of generations, as well as obscure the culture of Native Americans and dehumanize them.
